This is sort of outdated by now since there's been such a dramatic increase in cases over the last week, but the CDC recently posted "oopsie, lol, most of these cases are actually still delta cases". Omicron didn't magically displace delta. It's an ongoing process. So there's going to be a spike in deaths even if omicron really is less severe, and they don't really know that either.
