I'd be interested to know if overall the severity of Omicron is closer to Delta or similar to the normal flu. In South Africa, that seems to be the case. I know that population is very different to the UK, so we can't compare the two, however, if the severity of Omicron is close to the regular flu, when do we realise that it is time to ease restrictions?
The other thing I'd like to know is how severe is Omicron for a population that is heavily jabbed?
all the evidence is that it’s milder - the only debate really is by how much.
