Omicron 91 percent less likely to be fatal compared to Delta: CDC study

。。。。。。

Most encouragingly, just one of the 52,297 people infected with Omicron died — a reduction of 91 percent compared to 14 deaths in the 16,982 studied with Delta. It did not say how old those who died were, or if they were vaccinated.

CDC director Rochelle Walensky told reporters that it likely means the recent increase in deaths is a lagging effect of the Delta variant, not the one rapidly replacing it.

“We may see deaths from Omicron but I suspect that the deaths that we’re seeing now are still from Delta,” Walensky revealed.

。。。 “reductions in disease severity associated with Omicron” were equally clear in “unvaccinated patients,” stressed the study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed.

The World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19 said Monday there’s an “end in sight” to the pandemic.
