COVID - Just how bad is Omicron

Daily Covid cases have gone through 100k for 1st time ever. In comparison daily deaths are 90% less than the peak of deaths in February 21.

 

We all need to catch this and variants ....albeit in a controlled way.

Keep calm and carry on

On the face of current information it would appear Omicron is in the majority no worse than a cold even to the unvaccinated.

The caveat to that is regardless of what the viruses some will always be affected worse than others.
