TThe fatalities are a concern of late, but not nearly what we saw in previous waves.
They added 500 earlier cases on Friday, so it's less of a spike, but the daily deaths are still over 100.
The question is who was healthy prior to the Omicron Wave and have died as a result of being infected.
The number in Canada show a low rate of deaths associated with Omicron.
Most cases are folks with lingering health issue unrelated to this virus but have recently unfortunately been infected with the Omicron Wave and their immune system is unable to cope with additional virus.
Mostly elder folks with lingering health issues living in poverty or in care homes.
Presently drug related deaths are close behind yet no issues with that TIDAL WAVE.

UK cases drop by almost 50% today from 1 week ago.
Although kids are going back to school soon, which may slow the curve.
The few Covid restrictions in place now are expected to be removed during the course of the month.

That is good news going a different route from the USA. The Governor of Florida has minimized restrictions virtually totally is under constant attack by the Biden Administration and the fake media for "murdering his people".
However, there is a flood of Democratic Party Congress members, Governors and Mayors holidaying in Florida so the Governor is justified to say if he has a dollar for all those - he would be a very wealthy person.
The Governor is in fact correct. The Democrats lay down rules and mandates - but they all take time out to go and have a great time partying it away in Florida . So they have rules for the plebs that do not apply to the political elite.
And dear Nancy Pelosi has bought a $25 million mansion in Florida getting out of the hell she has created in San Francisco.. Not good for the Democrats - for the first time in 50 years there are more registered Republicans in Florida than Democrats - with Latino voters joining up in their hundreds of thousands. Bad news for the Biden vegetable and his Party.
The US got 1.4 million "reported" cases yesterday.
The rate of Covid is dropping by around 20,000 infections per day. The wave is reducing faster than it rose. It is surprising how it can reduce so quickly without lockdown. Maybe just running out of people to infect.
It’s not surprising at all, you blithering twit.
Unless one is tested in a health facility and/or dies in one then a number cannot be assigned....in SA the numbers are way above the figures published.
So ButtPlug, provide a simple explanation of how Omicron has dropped so quickly.
I would.
Only, you’re a massive wast of time my dude.
so you cant.

Just more conspiracy nuts, Draad. Dr Fauci said it's alright, so it's alright 
Ja Pakie, but I'm still glad I didn't take my kids for the clotshots.

"He called a few of his friends and they have seen cancer increasing"...
One Washington is a religious cult, not a scientific body. They need to stick to Bible studies and leave science to people who can think objectively.
The whole way this person describes things, it is obvious he does not think scientifically - even if he actually is a doctor. Although most likely a grifter and this is just a money-making scam. FFS even the Vatican and the Taliban recommend the vaccine...
Once it became clear the vaccine does little to prevent transmission, no one cares if you don't want to take the vaccine - except healthcare people who see anti-vaxxers make up most of the deaths.
If the world is becoming overpopulated and/or global warming is changing the environment, it is Survival of the fittest. It is nature...
Covid is history now, so why go on about it? It only remains a significant factor in China.

"A religious person pretending to be a scientist/doctor. "
He's a pathologist and a good one and there are many scientists and doctors, regardless of religion, questioning the way the vaccines have been rolled out...if you had any sense, you would too.
"Safe and effective"
Well we know now it wasn't as effective as they said it would be, but I guess they were right about the safe...
The UK is past Covid long ago. It was a storm in a teacup. I remember all the graves they were digging, but where were the bodies? It came and went in a few months in 2020. Interesting...
Watson is a bit over dramatic, but he's got a few valid points.
He is good sometimes. However, he is part of the right whingers who have become useful controlled opposition. He strays into some racism too. I tend to look elsewhere.
Nothing has destroyed my faith in science and the medical community more than the past few years of Covid madness. So much lying, nonsensical measures, absurdity. People need to learn to take care of their own health. The fuckers in the white coats just want to sell you as many pharmaceuticals as they can and charge you R800 consultation for the 5 minutes it takes them to stuff the next bottle of pills in your hands.
If only this was the worst of it. Western science and medicine have been doing this from the beginning. Witchdoctors, in a different culture.
Safe and effective...

It took 1 month to peak in SA, the shortest wave ever.
The UK appears to be just past the peak of the wave, and cases should start to decline.
However, the wave decrease has stalled over the last week in SA, but hopefully, that is a reporting lag, and the wave continues to decline.
