Omicron has been like 90%+ of the cases reported for the last month in almost every jurisdiction. A month ago you might have been able to say that but today it's pretty clear that almost all the cases will have been Omicron.

Terminal patients don't die immediately, it usually takes several weeks. Omicron only crossed the 90% threshold of sequenced cases the week of 01/01/2022.
