Re: Coronavirus
There’s no evidence of Covid killing anyone in significant numbers in the UK according to some on here so that, by definition, is a red herring.
It’d take far longer than a few weeks for Omicron to be anything more than a blip on the body count. Now that it’s both dominant and rising in all areas of the UK the likelihood of hospitalisations (and deaths) being from Omicron substantially rises. But with registry offices closed (and ironically, staff isolating!) I doubt there’s much to gleam from last weeks figures.
What will skew the figures though is that Omicron is infecting people that Delta wouldn’t have - due to lower (and waning) vaccine efficacy against infection.
