Hospital admissions does not mean deaths though and could be related to low vaccination and the quicker spread.
As far as I heard, omnicron settles more in the nose and less in the lunges => less deadly. This is not a certainty yet.

Ps: yes. I had also a quote from another doctor which made it probable that it was going to be less deadly based on the large amount of mutations and history of viruses. Other doc, different situation, similar "hope". ( Mentioning just in case)
Additionally based on numbers from Africa: no more breathing devices, no deaths due to pure COVID, average hospital stay went to 2,5 days from 8,5 days.
I'm only cautious because of reinfection odds ( unclear for now)
- lucas_membrane 5y ago>> Hospital admissions does not mean deaths though. Omicron is spreading so quickly that in a few weeks there may be so many cases that if even 1% are hospitalized, the medical system is under worse stress than what has been hammering it for about 20 months now.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoIt's 0,01% rate for vaccinated people. Omnicron, as it seems, will not suddenly make it rise. The contrary looks to be happening.
