omicron doesn’t cause death
Incorrect, and, SA's experience is unlikely, for a whole host of reasons, to necessarily predict ours exactly. About the best that can be said is Omicron is considerably less lethal per case than Delta. But, Omicron is considerably more infectious, and people in the US are mitigating much less, rather insuring they'll be exposed heavily. Also as discussed here on previous threads, our current case numbers are probably quite understated. Basically the two factors, higher cases x lower CFR, are cancelling out.
i didnt’ say it woudl predict ours exactly- I said that we are still averaging around 2000 deaths a day in the US, and it’s claimed that omicron is now and has been from awhile now, the dominant variant, making up over 99% of the cases of covid now- Omicron, being mild overall- isn’t causing deaths in other nations in the 1000’s- and they are having very few omicron deaths, but mysteriously, here in America, it looks like we are having 100’s per day? What’s up with that? Something isn’t jiving with the numbers when it comes to omicron and deaths-
Maybe all the deaths are left over covid 19 cases- i dunno- but if omicron is taking over- then we should see dramatic decreases in deaths very very soon- as covid 19 and delta becomes nearly extinct in the us, especially where regrettably mostly the elderly have died- killing off a great many of the elderly- leaving more healthy people in the nation, with most people now having natural immunity which will render the omicron even less a problem than it already is- -
