#OMRICON 🇿🇦 GOV & PUBLIC HEALTH BRIEFING DATA
Love the way numerous people were spouting “but it is mild this time” without a single data point to support the suggestion
Just a GP who, by her own evidence, had seen just a couple of dozen patients with Omicron, mostly young men

The good news is the early data on vaccination is promising and they have not been boosting.
However. It should be borne in mind that a high proportion of people have not been vaccinated in SA particularly in younger age groups…so more unvaccinated would be expected anyway.

Only time will tell how well, as cases move up through the age groups, how well they will offset risk.
About 65% of the over 60s have been vaccinated.
Fingers crossed.

I posted this bleak thread from @TWenseleers last night and people were literally commenting “but it is mild this time” or words to that effect. READ IT
Sure. Most people do not end up in hospital. That is called “mild” medically. That does not mean to say the virus is mild

Tom was pretty on the money for Alpha and Delta being serious.
And also re Mu, Lambda and AY4.2 not being a significant extra concern
