Just a thought after reading the good news - ok this is great for the US and the west where there is decent vaccination.
What the hell is going to happen with the omicron spread in countries with hardly any vaccination? I mean if it really is like measles, this could be terrible.
- barney54 5y agoCountries like South Africa? Steep increase in cases and now a steep fall in cases. Some increased deaths, but nothing like delta or alpha. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/south-africa/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/south-afri...

Not an expert but comparing countries is hard, especially now that there are other factors such as how many people are vaccinated, boosted etc. I don’t think it’s obvious from one country how another will fare.
