Wow! Los Angeles has the biggest increase so far in BABIES AND TODDLERS admitted for OMICRON VARIANT: A 14.5X INCREASE HERE: FROM 4 TO 58 in the space of a month:

We don't need spike gene dropout to tell us where omicron is: just look at the increase in kids admissions: that's the only data point I need anymore.

And I'm not joking.

LA estimates that 4.5% of cases are hospitalised with omicron: they claim that this is a reduction from Delta and other variants:

5-6% with Delta...to now 4.5%?? wow, a 0.5% reduction....apparently....

1 in 22 hospitalised for omicron vs 1 in 20 for Delta...

what an amazingly mild variant.

Do you want a virus that has a 1 in 22 chance of putting you in hospital?

California: like the rest of the US looks set to ovetrake the previous peaks with the mild virus.

Omicron variant: vaccine resistant: immunity evader: more transmissible and according to LA is only 0.5% less likely to put you in hospital than Delta variant: 0.5%...and they tell you it's mild.

What a fucking state: healthcare workers getting sick, ambulances unable to get to people through sickness: drivers replaced with 'county employees' because the drivers are sick: hospitals overwhelmed:

It could easily be the UK, London, Midlands, you name it: it's all the fucking same in the end: where ever Omicron is unleashed the same story follows: and it IS NOT A MILD ONE.
