Sure the death “rate” is lower per infection but in absolute numbers, we’re creeping towards the peak again. Kinda of sad people are thinking 3-4000 people dying per day is acceptable and an excuse that everything is ok. That’s one 9/11 event per day in terms of death.
- rsynnott 5y agoThis is Ireland, not the US. Omicron didn’t really produce a spike in deaths here; they’ve been at about 7-10 a day since October (25%-33% US rates). Notably, our vaccination and booster rate is much higher than the US, and virtually all over 65s have at least two doses.
