"Another worrying statistic has been revealed regarding the unvaccinated: their risk of becoming seriously ill is 2.4 times that of the original strain of the corona, the one that arrived in Israel nearly two years ago. In "unvaccinated" the reference is also to those vaccinated in two doses who are entitled to a booster and have not yet been vaccinated and therefore their protection is insufficient. "
no one knows, but AFAIK all recorded omicron cases have been mild. here's the thing though, if it's more infectious then it's bound to kill more people just because it infects more people, even if it is just as or less severe as delta, that's like the whole deal with new variants. also tbh this is something that health officials should worry a lot more than individual people, because while it might drastically change how waves behave, it doesn't change thaaat much on an individual level, and the precautions you might or might not be taking are still effective.

Early data says it's risk is similar to delta if you're vaccinated, twice as deadly if you're not.
