All the data I have seen and is out there indicates that Omicron is very much milder than Delta and non-lethal, even less than a common cold. We need to pay attention to what is happening in Israel…one nation 20% vaxxed turned downward, and the other with about 80% vaxxed and heading up (noticeable uptick). Hopefully that is an anomaly and not stable…we need to look across the next week. stand by…
Obviously early days but consideration of virus to virus we see an entirely different scenario with this one. Even at this stage the information S Africa offered us is looking true. High infection, low everything else. I wonder how the controlling politicians will react as they lose their grip
Its likely a bit too soon to say that we have peaked. I read today that 21,099 new cases were reported, while yesterday the number of cases reported were 15,242 (see: https://maroelamedia-co-za.translate.goog/nuus/sa-nuus/covid-19-statistieke-syfers-klim-weer/?_x_tr_sl=af&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB). Reports are often delayed in South Africa. Its a fact of life that South Africa shuts down business, for the holidays, in mid-Deceber, and only starts to function in the first week of January. Thus its probably a good idea to wait another week, or two.
