With Omicron, not from Omicron. It's an important distinction.
- drited 5y agoThe headline says "with" and the first bullet point says "from". The first paragraph says "the first publicly confirmed death globally from the swiftly spreading strain"
- krona 5y agoAnd the next paragraph says "Britain gave no details on the death other than the person had been diagnosed in hospital." However I wasn't referring to the news article but actual statements from UK government ministers and health officials' failure to be specific when questioned. For all we know the person was hit by a bus.
- drited 5y agoIf the person was hit by a bus or died from a cause other than Omicron then that would strengthen the point I was making in the post you replied to which was >>doesn't this suggest that the case fatality rate is a lot lower (not marginally lower)?
