       | One communication problem here is that "both sides of the Covid
       | debate" (for lack of a better phrase) may interpret "Omicron
       | Variant as Deadly as Previous Waves" to be favorable to their
       | perspective.
       | 
       | People who are scared of Covid will see that and say "You see,
       | it's as bad as the thing that already killed a million
       | Americans".
       | 
       | People who are not scared of Covid will see that and say "Omicron
       | wasn't a big deal. You see, it's been a big nothingburger all
       | along".

       | The last stats I heard was then when you remove co-morbidities
       | and existing medical conditions the deaths were less than 13.9%
       | for at least the UK (2022 data) and in the US was less than 9.3%,
       | but the latter was back at the beginning (May 2020). Follow Dr.
       | John Campbell on YouTube and he goes into all the papers and
       | research when it comes to covid and it's treatment.
