UK hospitals 🏥 seeing critical staff shortages + caseload. 📌Maybe whoever arrogantly pushed the “#Omicron is mild” / “no need to worry” should be fired. 📌Maybe whoever naively believed the “it’s mild” propaganda should reconsider how they were so dangerously duped.

2) Same situation in US hospitals — both overloaded and critically short of staff due to both infections and burnout. 👇 this will be repeated worldwide if we don’t stop #Omicron and wake up!

3) I don’t know who can still call this “mild” with a straight face when staring at 2x record pediatric hospitalizations.

4) Please please please don’t buy the “mild” propaganda hype. It doesn’t help anyone— it in fact endangers more people. And it’s not really that much intrinsically milder once adjusted for risk factors.

5) Looks “mild”… not… this is a recent COVID ICU patient.

6) Folks — ICU admissions are still going up and up in South Africa 🇿🇦 despite all the rhetoric that it’s “mild” there. ICUs and deaths are lagging indicators.

7) hospitalizations has never surged as quickly as it has now. The vertical spike in recent week is UNPARALLELED in its sheer rate of hospitalization increase. But but but “mild” the propaganda is—don’t believe it. Believe epidemiologists 👇
