Numbers don't lie. Numbers don't spin. No BS.

Bottom line, the real truth:

1800 new deaths in one day = Omicron is still a very dangerous variant of COVID-19.

Blow it off at someone's peril.

Oh, but it probably won't be you, so no big, eh?

Screw the vulnerable, right?

Shame on such thinking.

We all need to do all we can to limit the spread of this very dangerous disease.

Deaths last 7 days compared to previous 7 days +6.7%.

So far so good.

What has been remarkable in the intervening weeks — despite the very clear data trends and statements of practitioners like Dr Angelique Coetzee, head of the South African Medical Association, that the variant was mild in all groups — is how slow other countries have been to accept this as fact. Sir Patrick Vallance and Chris Whitty, the UK’s chief scientific and medical officers, seem to be the last to admit what has been evident to most observers for almost a month: namely, that Omicron is much milder than Delta. With numbers in UK hospitals rising, a degree of caution is of course understandable, but the refusal to acknowledge the evidence from South Africa has been odd.

It is true that South Africa is a very different country to the UK, with a younger population and a different profile of prior immunity. But the population also has a major obesity problem, poor metabolic health, widespread HIV and had been hit relatively badly by previous waves of the virus. So the idea that ‘just because Omicron has not done much damage in South Africa it could still be devastating in the UK’ was always hard to believe.

In fact, the Omicron wave in Gauteng turned out to be even milder than my forecasts suggested; since the interview, every single one of the variables came in below projected levels. My estimate that deaths would be 25 times lower than the Delta wave still holds, and I have revised my estimate for the infection fatality rate down from 0.053% (11th December) to 0.036%.

How many of those are from the latest variant ... and how many are chinckplague deaths ... and how many are just plain flu deaths ... and how many are people that died from the vax ... and how many just died ???
