My take on this is that if you live in a country where there was widespread use of less effective vaccines, where resources are limited for booster doses, and there is very limited access to treatments which we now know reduce disease severity after infection (sotrovimab probably still works for Omicron infections and paxlovid almost certainly does), then Omicron is going to be bad. Unfortunately a lot of the world which isn't Europe and North America seems to fit into this category.
