Prevalence of COVID-19 in London recently reached 9 percent of the population
A Twitter thread shows than Omicron variant may peak in prevalence near 8 percent of all people in a big city.
What's this mean for Australia:
By comparison at 8 Jan 2022 https://www.covid19data.com.au/ has NSW at 268,021 active cases, which corresponds to a COVID-19 prevalence of about 3.2 percent.
It seems, by comparison with London, we in the big cities of Oz are about half-way to peak Omicron. Hopefully it's a short and not too bumpy ride.
10 Jan 2022. Update
Matt Hopcraft on Twitter gives the following prevalence's which the Pundit accepts as near correct:
They suggest that -- by taking London as a model-- New South Wales and Victoria infections will peak together, and we are now 2/3rds way to the peak of new infections. (6 percent: 9 percent prevalence at peak.)
