I reckon its guesswork. The ONS do figures for what they think is the level of infection is the UK, looks like the last figures were 891,500. Have they tried to work something up from there based on how much more transmissible it is and percentage of positive tests that are the new variant?No, think somebody has made an arse of that, maybe 200k cumulative infections to date

No one is petrified but you'd have to be stupid to think that the variant has next to no chance of killing people.Shock, the person who died tested for Omicron while in hospital.
Still, let's get everybody petrified because of selective wording and media who can't wait to scare everybody.
Raab on TV bullshitting too.
It's been the same for the other variants. What is your actual point?Shock, the person who died tested for Omicron while in hospital.

Raab on TV bullshitting too, even though it's confirmed to be wrong it's still headline news.

So you want the goalposts moved then to make you feel better. Cheers, got you now.The point is, nobody has died from it. Yet again this morning there's been incorrect information sent to people as headline news.
Pretty obvious really.

There are currently 10 people in hospital with the Omicron variant of COVID - not 250, as Dominic Raab told Sky News.
The deputy prime minister later told the BBC that there were nine people in hospital with the variant.
But officials have clarified that Mr Raab "misspoke" on both occasions by getting his figures wrong and that there are currently 10 people in hospital with Omicron.
No, just actual facts and information rather than just cleverly worded things and letting the media run with it.
It's almost as if some people have their fingers crossed for it.
I don’t think anyone’s keeping their fingers crossed for it Nick. This is a new shitstorm for everyone to varying degrees
I do agree about the need for government and media to be transparent and factual though. Like when hospitalisations were mentioned yesterday’s between 18-85 years old...that’s handy ! Were they hospitalised due to variant or already in hospital ? Had they been vaccinated and/or even boostered ?! These are really important questions/answers for when people are making decisions on going about their daily lives
Hopefully better info and data will come out later this week
It'd be fucking stupid to not be cautious considering the lesson learnt so far just because no one has died from it, yet.The point is, nobody has died from it. Yet again this morning there's been incorrect information sent to people as headline news.

I'm not sure why you're getting yourself in such a tizz, Nick.
They have reported this one Omicron death in the same way that all Covid deaths are reported which is 'deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test'. They never say died of Covid.
They never say died of Covid.
To be fair to Nick. Some of the papers did put it down as death FROM not with.
You sure?
It's amazing how the hardcore political posters on here forget how to read sometimes, baffles me. It's what happens when people have a political bias.
I can't read what I can't see.
I haven't seen any that say that.
I've just googled 'Omicron death' and clicked on 4 or 5 stories and all said 'died with Omicron'.
Oh shock. Just saw the Daily Mail said 'died of Omicron.'
Don't complain about misleading headlines if you're quoting the DM!
Great thread on the miss information that is pushes on TV
Very alarming is that.....its going to get increasingly difficult to argue against some of the anti-vax movements by suggesting they're being fed mis-information while all the MSM are pedalling it too.....its quickly becoming a fucking alarmist panic driven farce
What is not following the narrative? Not being able to process that there’s a global pandemic that has killed millions of people?The MSM/Gov have managed to engineer that anyone who doesn't follow the narrative is an Anti-vaxer and play people off against each other. All very clever.
Soon boosted people will be used to turn against 2 jabbed people and class them as unvaccinated.
