As much as I hate to say this, that's still good news.
You have to remember that when we were setting those death tolls at the peak of Delta we were testing at 275,000 to 335,000 cases per day. We're testing at three levels above that right now and just now matching the Delta death tolls.
The means, at least on its face, that Omicron is roughly 1/3rd to half as deadly.
