In theory, yes. But apparently the fact that Omicron reinfects (people who have already had Covid) so many people and that it appears that vaccine effectiveness and natural immunity wanes quite strongly, makes it incredibly hard to estimate for this variant.
Edit: The only thing I think we know, is that Omicron can infect more people than Delta could, by way of its increased ability to reinfect people.

There must be a limit to the percentage of a given population that can be infected at a single point in time - maybe derived from the r number? Does anyone know what that would be for Omicron?
