Epidemiological characterisation of the first 785 SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant cases in Denmark, December 2021. Euro Surveill. 2021;26(50):pii=2101146.

This one looks like pretty good news. Of the 785 omicron cases, only 9 required hospitalization, 1 patient went into intensive care, no deaths. Only 7.1% of the Omicron cases took place in boosted patients.

Note that these statistics do not include people who did not get either variant of Covid.
