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

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.

Thank you for posting. It’s heartening to read the comments from residents of the UK!

They are purposely ignoring flu deaths and calling them covid/bs variant deaths. April is the end of cold and flu season.

Jon Campbell reported on this on his youtube channel today.

It appears that this unfortunate individual had been hospitalized for other reasons, and tested for COVID as a routine measure. They’re doing a ton of sequencing in the UK, so they rapidly ID’s the strain.

So a death “with”, not “from”.

And Boris is on the ropes already, and has decided that his best bet is to generate some panic, but sadly for him, does not seem to be helping his political situation.

STOP! This is serious. Shut down all retail, travel and sports immediately. If this isn’t done another person might die.

It was probably a 99 year old pensioner who died of an overdose of elderberry wine.

Update...

Did Britain's 'first Omicron death' die FROM the Covid variant or WITH it? Professor slams government's 'lack of transparency' and says No10 is causing 'unnecessary alarm' - adding: 'The patient could have been hit by a bus'

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

As he headed out the door to another party where no one is socially distancing or wearing a mask or doing ANY of the things he is trying to force people to do.

And of course that is "With" not "From".

I do wish Carrie's puppet.. er... husband would shut his mouth.

People die from influenza too.

Yep.

Was flipping though some old stories the other day and found one from 2017 about a mother in her 40s who died from flu. She was, by all accounts in excellent health prior, and was in training for another marathon.

Caught the flu and died four days later.

The story's heart was to see your doctor quickly so you can get early treatment.

Something they do not do for any respiratory infections any more.

Curious.

Maybe that person died when the moon was aligned with Sagittarius.
