I think this was meant as "Omicron can infect 3 to 6 times as many people as Delta [considering that a lot of people already have immunity to Delta]", this chart was enlightening for me:
>Under a scenario of 90% population immunity against previous variants, we get the following picture where Omicron could lie anywhere along the dashed line ranging from an intrinsic R0 of 3 and 83% immune escape to an intrinsic R0 of 9 and 20% immune escape.
