Milder Omicron A Major Health Issue

Michael from Trentham

Don't take the foot off the pedal just yet in NZ in the war against Covid 19.
Omicron is less severe than other variants including Delta but IT IS NOT MILD and its spread is far greater than any other variant thus far.
In the USA, Omicron death toll has surpassed the highest 7-days average of the more severe Delta variant, reaching so far over 2500 deaths in a single day.
From Russia to Brazil record Covid case numbers are being produced as the Omicron variant continues to spread world-wide just as it is in New Zealand.
On January 28 - just a week ago - Australia had nearly 100 deaths in their deadliest ever Covid day so far. That is almost twice as many as those who have died in over two years of Covid in NZ.
Of course the virus targets the unvaccinated and not fully vaccinated so kids under 5 are highly vulnerable and while Cuba has vaccinated 2-4 year olds, the USA and China among other countries are gearing up to make this happen.
