I misinterpreted some data. Omicron death rates are not higher than delta, but not much lower, either. The data I was looking at shows that red/Trump counties have significantly higher deaths now, relative to blue counties, than prior to the vaccine release.I the total number of deaths was higher I could see that, because now everyone has had it basically, even multiple times. But the death RATE? I honestly just don't believe that. Doesn't at all pan out with what I'm seeing or hearing, from anyone. I lost 2 family members to alpha/delta, and almost everyone I know lost someone they or a family member or close friend knew to it. I don't know of anyone who has died from omicron. Do you? Does anyone in here? Obviously I know people have died and are dying from it, but given the number of cases is astronomically higher, for the death rate to be even AS high, let alone "much higher", you'd think people would be dropping like flies.
Personally I don't know anyone who has died from covid, or anyone who has died in the last 3 years at all.
