So far, no deaths are apparently attributable to the Omicron variant of COVID-19:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has informed The Epoch Times that it has not documented any deaths from the Omicron variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.

According to the WHO, “for Omicron, we have not had any deaths reported, but it is still early in the clinical course of disease and this may change.”

When reached for comment by The Epoch Times, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent its report on the Omicron variant in the United States from Dec. 1 through 8. It shows that there were no documented deaths from Omicron during that period.

It won’t be long until it’s utterly ridiculous to be basing our panics and continuing government superpowers on case numbers.  (I mean, I’m already there, but at some point even the more-timid will have to acknowledge reality, won’t they?)
