In reply to the discussion: How to Reduce Your Chances of Dying From Covid by 99 percent! [View all]Johnny2X2X
(22,168 posts)27. Omicron is the worst version of Covid, period
The fact that scientists allowed it to spread that it's less severe is a crime, it's not less severe to society although it on average is less severe for indicviduals.
Omicron infects more people and thus kills a greater number of people. If you had 2 totally separate pandemics and 1 infected 100 Million people while killing 500,000 and another infected 50 Million people while killing 400,000 people, everyone would agree that the one that infected and killed more people was the more severe pandemic.
But people are so consumed with themselves that they only think of Covid in terms of how it affects them, not the toll on society. Omicron is taking a heavier toll on society than any previous version of Covid.

The graph needs to show the timeframe, it could easily be very misleading.
