The deaths plummeting is a red herring due to the many times mentioned lag

You do realise that we’re now 32 days on from the first identified omicron case in the uk? Passing off the falling death rate as a red herring is rapidly losing credibility. It’s been pretty obvious for about a week now that the death rate is being played down as a matter of public health policy because of the potential risk to the booster campaign. That doesn’t mean we can’t deal frankly with the data here though. There is simply no evidence of omicron killing anyone in any significant numbers in the UK, and the experience in South Africa, where the omicron wave is weeks ahead of ours, suggests that such evidence will not be forthcoming.
