Zero deaths.

I doubt there's been that few. They're not testing for what variant it is when you get tested. There's certainly been way more.

I seem to recall someone saying that as the virus (which came from China) mutates, it would be spread easier but become less lethal.
Isn't that exactly what we are seeing with the Xi variant?

What little media coverage I’ve paid attention to is reporting that it’s deadly and spreading like wildfire.

This is my understanding as well and so far my observation as well. But Maddow, Lemon, Fauci, et al need something to make a lot of noise about.

This is science.

They only test about 1-2 %.
So you can easily multiply by 50.

OK.
830 X 50 = 41,500
0 X 50 = 0
This is finally the one that will put humanity in halls of history

Just heard the national news headline on the radio full of fear porn. New York is being over run with CASES. Other states and other countries are seeing sharp rise in CASES.
That is how we know that there isn’t a huge issue with ICU’s being full or deaths going up a bunch. They aren’t referencing those numbers

Just filler between more Jan 6 fanfic and Trump criminal trial.

From my work they just reported their testing partners did sample tests from a small portion of the tests and it is looking like 1/3 to 1/2 are coming back as Omicron.
The problem with most of these testing numbers is the cost and resources to test the sequence of every sample. It’s just not feasible, so you select a small number at random to determine general trends.

This is actually like the goldilocks scenario for the world. An extreme spread of a relatively mild to harmless variant that out competes all the other strains. You couldn't hope for a better realistic situation this quick with covid. Luckily it's so contagious, vaccines and mitigation won't inhibit its spread. So the incompetents in charge are unable to fk this up.
Oh and we all going to die.

New York is still getting hit by Delta.
*edited to add that that's what happens when you continuously lock down.

More people with antibodies to fight the dreaded sniffles and low-grade fever is actually a positive, although we will be overexposed to the usual fear porn.

That's an awfully bold prediction. The incompetents in charge have excelled at fricking everything up.
