  27.  @pmw3839  Short answer is yes, but having both is not a great cause for worry if you’re vaccinated. It’s likely that these early omicron cases also include a proportion of delta. It’s still the same disease, but your question is interesting. Think of it this way: a person with both (such as the first person in whom the mutation occurred). For whatever reason the omicron variant is more effective (spike change leading to more successful or faster binding to receptors) it began spreading faster in the body of the infected person. When they infected others, it was a combination of the two in some proportion. As others were infected, the omicron variant was able to outperform the delta variant in each host body (those bodies being our fellow humans). The proportion of the omicron variant increases and delta decreases—quite literally one person at a time. My informed layman’s guess is that if one has some amount of immunity to delta through vaccination or previous illness, those immunities are further blocking or suppressing the delta variant, giving omicron a leg up, but having both variants becomes less and less likely as omicron spreads. Unknowns: 1)omicron is milder (some data) 2) infection with omicron will provide immunities for previous variants should they pop back up (no data) 3) omicron immunities will be affective against future variants (no data) There is some preliminary evidence that (1) is true, so there is reason to be hopeful. (2) and (3) are wild guesses on my part—we’ll learn more in the coming days, weeks, and months.
