Omicron poses a “substantially reduced risk” of serious illness compared to Delta — and is more than 90 percent less likely to kill those infected, according to a federally funded study.
The study, released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wednesday, said it proved “compelling evidence of an intrinsically less severe infection” from the variant that currently accounts for 90 percent of cases in the US.

Enough already, it’s flaming out naturally. Stop the mandates.
Just wait until deltacron gets here from Cyprus.
So the Moronic variant is 91% less lethal than something that is already 99%+ non lethal?
These numbers explain the piles of dead bodies in the street. Getting the mail is becoming tricky. Sarcasm.
Nusome ain’t taking his eye off the omicron ball.
the corrupt ruling class and Senile Joe/obammy have weaponized the China Virus and have succeeded in regaining power....
now it is a political liability and distraction, and they need it to go away, expect more stories like these soon.
Don’t take My Omicron Away.
Newsom didn’t learn much in high school.
There is a clown on here who will cry tears of unfathomable sadness at this news.
He is convinced that “extinction is possible” and that omicron is “many times worse than delta.”
An 80 year old female, long time friend and a member of my wife’s Bible study group apparently got the Omnicrud from a grandson visiting from a college in the east coast at Christmas.
Being a generous and sharing young man, he passed the OmniCrud on to his parents, their spouses and a brother as well as his grandmother, our friend.
The family members younger than our friend did the 5 day isolation thing. The grandson/carrier flew back east to celebrate New Years with his college friends. His newly infected brother flew back to the SW to go back to work.
My wife’s friend was fine/okay after 5 days, and she opted out of the Bible study group in case she was shedding the new virus.
She is now back to walking a couple miles, twice a day. She had a little shortness of breath for the first couple of days back into her walks. She will be attending the Bible study group next week.
Like my wife and I, she still has an occasional hot flash or chill or combo after going to bed.

Thanks. Would you do the math for this old man!

If the CDC says 90% less, then I expect the real number is probably 99.99999999% less.

Fortunately, we have a lot of coyotes living near by, and our area is well covered by vultures and buzzards circling over head.
So, I have no problem getting our mail. The secret is to keep moving and never stop for more than a few seconds.
2300 US Covid deaths yesterday.
About 100 or so more and the count will equal the highest Delta count we saw in Sept, said to be all Delta then.
So how can this be with an allegedly weaker variant? A couple of ways, but themselves not strong explanations.
1) It’s winter. Furnaces bring people indoors to breathe heavy dose of virus. Not a lot of that going on, tho.
2) The vax date is getting older. Boosting hasn’t been aggressive.
3) Their sample was pretty narrow. Strictly California, I think it said. No mention of age distribution, which is generally the absolute most important parameter. If all the Omicron samples were young, they aren’t going to die even from Delta.
I just do the numbers. South Africa had 181 dead yesterday. It’s summer there. They are supposed to be about 100% Omicron by now. 181 is about 15X more than a typical daily death count in the weeks before Omicron arrived.
Russia’s peak and decline is decidedly not steep. At all. I saw a brief article saying they are mostly Omicron there now, too.
The US is in its 5th month of 1000+ daily deaths on the 7 day average. This is 150K deaths in less than half a year, and the vast majority are 65+. A typical 65+ death year in the US is 1.7 million. Add 400K to that and you have an increase of 23% over the usual 65+ death count. This nudges towards numbers that start to affect even 40 yr old life expectancy, though the opioid death numbers probably hit LE for 40 yr olds harder.
Post extinction I plan to organize a select few to join me for cake. None of you will be invited.
Great to see you’ve joined the conspiracy theorists now, and don’t believe the CDC.
99% less than .1%? How much is THAT!
Not only that, it explains the thousands of masked-up children and adults I see every day on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area.
My best friend’s husband and 23 yo son have it. Its a head cold.
