Britain reports first death with Omicron coronavirus variant
Reuters ^ | December 13, 2021 | By Guy Faulconbridge and Michael Holden

Posted on 12/13/2021 4:41:08 AM PST by House Atreides

At least one patient has died in the United Kingdom after contracting the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.

"Sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with Omicron," Johnson told reporters.

“So I think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus - I think that's something we need to set on one side - and just recognise the sheer pace at which it accelerates through the population."…

… Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the Omicron coronavirus variant was spreading at a "phenomenal rate" and now accounted for about 40% of infections in London.

How many have died from bathtub accidents in the same time period?

Bathtubs are the big killer.

Was the virus the primary cause of death or did the patient have a host of other medical issues with COVID at the bottom of the list?

If even ONE person dies with omicron all the lockdowns, masks, vaxxines, personal liberty destruction, are worth it to protect the rest of us from omicron. /s

“ now accounted for about 40% of infections in London.”

It will likely become the dominant strain in London this week.

It likely won’t be much longer until it is in the USA as well.

Mathematically, if it moves so quickly, and significantly evades immunity from vaccines, and perhaps less so from prior infections, the peak simultaneous case load could be significantly higher than we have seen before with COVID.

Prepare to be exposed.

Because of this ONE death we are now banning toasters, bathtubs, toasters IN bathtubs, automobiles, guns, bows and arrows, knives, motorcycles with or without omicron infection, sex (some people die during sex others act like they are dead during sex), skydiving with or without a parachute, boating, hiking, living in Chicago, “and many more”.

… died with Omicron …

With, not from. The poor soul could have died FROM a heart attack but tested positive for the latest Xi variant.

From BBC:

“ On Monday, the UK Health Security Agency confirmed 10 people had been admitted to hospital in England with the Omicron variant.
Their ages ranged from 18 to 85 years old and the majority had received two doses of a Covid vaccination, the agency said.
There have been 4,713 confirmed cases of the Omicron variant across the UK, it added, after 1,576 new cases were reported on Monday.”

Poor bastard probably died from a heart or brain condition created by the rat-poison vaxx.

....But we won’t ever be allowed to know things like that. The only thing we are allowed to know is we should all be scared to death of this fake virus, we should lock-down and shutter all economic success and businesses, roll all our sleeves up for 3-5 doses of rat poison, and poison all of our babies, children, and pregnant women.

That is what we are all expected to do in this Clown World managed by Satanic psychopaths.

The Israeli Prime Minister flat out lied yesterday saying two children had died in the UK from Omicron as he pushed child vaccination in Israel.
