re: The next covid variant will be more contagious than Omicron

"The next variant of concern will be more fit, and what we mean by that is it will be more transmissible because it will have to overtake what is currently circulating,"

While true, this is misleading. The next variant can have a much lower Rt and still be more "fit" because Omicron immunity works far better against Omicron than against the new variant.
