Study: In South Africa, Omicron's hospitalizations are down 90% compared to previous waves. And among the hospitalized, death rate is 2/3 of the previous. I'd take Omicron over Delta any day.
Some countries (China, Russia) have tried very hard to play down their Covid situation. And yet in other countries (us, US), the government is doing its best to exaggerate and try to make it look as bad as possible. Interesting indeed.
