Omicron is up to 70% LESS likely to cause hospitalisations than Delta, major study reveals as daily Covid cases hit new record high of 119,789 and scientists warn UK is still in 'danger zone'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -rise.html

There are review papers out from imperial, south Africa and UK. I think those would give a better understanding as to the danger omicron poses vs just taking one line out of a review paper for sensationalism.
When the health sector becomes overun by cases you think they can save even the HDU level cases? It will be higher numbers of deaths vs Delta.

Then this:

What we need to consider in the South African data to determine if omicron was responsible for the recent South African COVID cases and deaths, is: does omicron cause less serious disease than delta and will omicron waves be shorter in duration than delta waves?

A review of official South African COVID countrywide figures from December 1 2021 to December 21 2021 shows new confirmed COVID cases per million population rose dramatically from 63 to 303 (a 380% increase), while total deaths only rose from 0.466 to 0.583, (a 25% increase). At the same time, the rate at which all COVID infections were estimated to spread (the R rate) steadily decreased to around 54% of the December 1 value.

Perfect emoji for these times yes. Everyone should follow that emoji and

[paid_influencer]

yea people following the day-to-day stuff for a grasp at severity. It too early, the data too raw and scattered. Give it some time. This is following the same pattern as when people declared Delta as 'mild' when we now know Delta has like twice the hospitalization risk as the ancestral strain [thelancet.com].

Not in Trinidad.

3W Nothing…

Gonna print some T-shirts with that on it and share it to all the covid cases that continue to embarrass this country. If it’s not littering, it’s Covid….now we known worldwide for both.

Even if the most optimistic projections are true, the resultant severity is being compared to delta. You arrive at hospital ICU rates which return to near the level of the ancestral strain - which makes sense.

Slim,

The numbers are rising because Trinis are not following the protocols bro.

But i agree, let it rise to show that the main focus should not be on vaccinations but to adhere to the protocols.

The vax wars need to stop and people need to start protecting their bodies with PPE.

This is a virus, and like people still don’t understand how it spreads and what they can do to avoid it.

Anyways, enjoy d chrismoss big man.
