Re: Coronavirus
Whilst obviously any death is a sad thing especially for those close to that person, such things do realistically need some point of perspective in regards to the circumstances.
And even though people are still dying of/with covid with the omicron variant, whether due to the vaccination or previous infection, or if it is actually milder (which UKHSA seem to think it is) by most accounts, those who are infected now, do tend to have milder cold/flu like symptoms and not anything more severe.
Whilst it clearly wasn't true before vaccination, and potentially may still not be in unvaccinated people, for most people the illness is unlikely to progress past this stage.
People do still occasionally get severe illness and complications from flu and other viruses. Whilst evidently anything regarding someone dying is emotive for those who are close to them, in the current situation, the comment probably isn't disproportionate.
