However, it’s important to note that even if omicron puts only a third as many infected people in the hospital, if cases continue to rise and the variants infect three times as many people, the same number will end up in the hospital despite the lower hospitalization rate. The same goes for deaths.
so far that is not happening as the graphs show no where near the prior death or hospitalizations have been reached
again lets just see and discuss when results are in
the omicron cases started to mount up on December 27th so by January 27th we should see what omicron is doing to new deaths and hospitalizations
I expect hospitalizations to be slightly higher but I expect deaths to be lower
