COVID deaths per 100,000: 715

Covid is listed on death certs where the flu is not, although both can contribute to deaths the same.

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

Are you suggesting that there are ICUs full of Omicron patients?

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.

Yeah... you just want Omicron to be bad.
I don't. I am hopeful it is what it is increasingly looking like it is - a milder variant that can help build immunities.
It is simply unfathomable to me that the left OBVIOUSLY resists that. From day one Omicron has looked vastly milder than the last variant.
And from day one the media started saying asinine panic porn like "it could be worse than Delta!!!! AAAUUUGHH!!!!!

Just nuts. Absolute insanity.

I suppose we should be comparing the death toll of Omi-Con to the death toll of the flu, in order to see which one is more dangerous.
