I believe that Omicron is from the Alpha variant lineage, so it's not directly related to Delta (which has some extra mutations that do make it more virulent than Alpha or OG Covid) — still bad news bears, even compared to OG, but not quite as severe as Delta.
Of course, that doesn't make it "mild" like the ghouls are pretending and dipshits are repeating.
I think the current clinical data puts its severity on par with Alpha, but that doesn't factor in overwhelmed and understaffed hospitals, etc, so even if a given person's individual odds of surviving are better than they would be with Delta, we still may likely see a mortality rate on-par with the Delta-driven waves
plus all the people who can't get 'elective' surgery (like removing tumours and stuff). And the car-crash and heart-attack people who would've been fine without the overworking of nurses.
I wonder what the actual calculations were on letting nurses without symptoms but who definitely have covid work vs an actual good quarantine time and that labour loss they don't want to do anything else about.
