In the UK, the number of daily deaths has since halved from 2,800 to 1,400 after the Omicron variant spread throughout the country.

I don't think those numbers are correct.

Worldometer says there have been between 100 and 150 daily deaths.

Worldometer is known to have fast data, not necessarily accurate data, and they get their data wherever they can find it, so they do not have standards of accuracy.

"Edouard Mathieu, the data manager of Our World in Data, stated that "Their main focus seems to be having the latest number [of COVID-19 cases] wherever it comes from, whether it’s reliable or not, whether it’s well-sourced or not."^[6]

Virginia Pitzer, a Yale University epidemiologist, said that the site is "legitimate", but flawed, inconsistent, and containing errors.^[6]"

for the most part, those 150/day ongoing deaths are likely Delta. The vaccinated (who vastly outnumber the unvaccinated in the uK) may get a mostly minor breakthrough Omi infection, but the unvaccinated, which comprise the majority of ICU patients, are still catching Delta and so are much sicker.
