Influenza vs Omicron

[EvMetro]

Which one is more dangerous? Perhaps we should compare death statistics of each? The hospitalizations of each? Maybe just the simple question of which one you would choose if you had to have one or the other?

If I was old and therefore susceptible to other Covid variants... I would choose Omicron over getting the flu. At the very least it shows promise to be an effective immune booster against the other ones that could kill me.

Influenza A is worse but fewer people get it than Omicron or whatever the next one is.

Man you can't read.
The thread specifically asks OMICRON.

Per hundred thousand of the people who get it or just in general population. Not that it matters. Lots of Covid deaths are a result of considering Covid the primary diagnosis when the patient still had multiple other issues that could have caused the death. It results in a higher DRG. It's still proper to do that if Covid was treated but not necessarily the reason for death. Had the patient not had the other issues the Covid would not have "resulted" in death. The issue would also have caused death eventually even without Covid. Sometimes it may be issues with the vaccine. Sometimes Covid may have sped up an inevitable death. It's more complicated than just looking at some random numbers. It goes a lot deeper.

For now, omicron, as it is spreading so quickly.

Kind of a softball question, for any halfway educated person not in a coma.

The common cold spreads rapidly too... since when has that alone meant dangerous?
I simply don't understand the left's resistance is seeing the potential promise Omicron looks to represent.
At this same timeframe there were 1000s of deaths from Delta. (September 2021) And climbed steadily after that.
With Omicron... one person out of 197,000 cases.

How many confirmed deaths are there, so far, from the Moronic variation of COVID-1984?

How many deaths claimed, even by the same blatantly dishonest mythology that has been in use, all along to count as COVID-1984 the deaths of decedents who actually died from entirely other causes, but who were suspected of being infected with COVID-1984? How many Moronic deaths counted that way?

So you're saying Biden better never get this question?

I simply don't understand the left's resistance is seeing the potential promise Omicron looks to represent.
At this same timeframe there were over 13,000 deaths from Delta. (September 2021) And climbed steadily after that.
With Omicron... one person out of 197,000 cases.

The left is counting on continuing to use the #CoronaHoax2020 as a vehicle of fearmongering and lies, to frighten us into submission to the tyranny and abuse that thy want to keep imposing on us.

They will never acknowledge the truth, which is that COVID-1984 was never anywhere close to as dangerous as they have been trying to deceive us into thinking that it is, and that with each new strain, it is becoming less and less dangerous; because this truth is a direct threat to their power and control over us.

The common cold spreads rapidly too.

Then show me the ICUs full of people during cold season.

I am not your assistant. Make your point.

That is not Omicron. By the CDC's only analysis, Omicron is showing an 80% less hospitalization rate than Delta

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That is not Omicron.

Some of it indeed is omicron. And some isn't. Because omicron is not the only variant, and we are in the midst of a raging g global pandemic. It adds to the stress on our healthcare system.

So even with milder disease, if a lot of people get ill in a short span of time, that can silll mean a large number of people needing care at the same time.

These are simple concepts that should not have to be explaiined to functioning adults. Get a grip, you insufferably stupid retards.

It's definitely not the common cold. It may be for most people, but if you are older and have obesity or respiratory issues it is not. Obviously any other significant health issues would add to it. To the normal person it is just the cold + with maybe taste and smell loss and fatigue. To others you may not even know you have it or think you have a cold. Vaccinated or not. They all can spread it though. Not a good thing for the few (population speaking) that are at risk.

Do you understand that for people who have the issues that you describe, that the common cold or flu is troublesome to them, in exactly the same way and to exactly the same degree that COVID-1984 is?

Calling a cold or flu by a different name, and stirring up a huge fearmongering campaign against it, does not change in the least how dangerous it actually is or is not, to which people.

The flu would be for sure. Not a "common cold". I suppose for some people the common cold would be an issue. Not like it is with the flu of Covid.

How about Omicron deaths like the title of the thread and opening post describe?

 

[EvMetro]

Are you suggesting that the speed of spread is connected to the danger level?
