@no1marauder saidIn the US over 7000+ die per day, from all causes, why does only 1000+ die per day "with" covid. seems small to me.
You ignored the gist of my post to spew out your usual COVID minimization propaganda.
There's certainly not enough known about omicron to make the definitive statements you make and besides there's still plenty of Delta and other variants around.
Are the hospitalized children "a function of media sensationalism"? How about the 1000+ dead on an average day?
Why do you insist on your covid maximization propaganda.

@jimmac saidYou think an increase in a country's death rate of somewhere between 15 to 20% because of one disease is no big deal?

I already debunked the silly "with" v. "from" claim. It's on page 6 of this thread.

@no1marauder saidI was not telling you to look at the chart into the future.
LMAO! From your link:
"NOTE: All 2020 and later data are UN projections and DO NOT include any impacts of the COVID-19 virus."
Perhaps you can provide an accurate chart?
@eladar said2020 isn't "the future" for us though it was for those who originally made your chart.

From my post on page 6 of this thread:
"In 2019, there were 2,854,838 resident deaths in the US, an increase of only 15,633 from 2018. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db395.htm
In 2020, there were 3,358,814 resident deaths in the US, an increase of about 500,000 from 2019. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7014e1.htm"

@no1marauder saidSo, do you have an official chart or not? You would think someone would have official numbers put in context by now.

But I guess getting a chart is really asking too much of you.
@no1marauder saidThat number seems to falling by more than 10% per week. It was 87% a few weeks ago. Omicron will swallow Delta whole soon just as Delta swallowed Wuhan original.
Even if the premature claims regarding omicron's supposed "mildness" prove accurate, the CDC presently estimates that 41% of US COVID cases are the Delta variant. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/28/cdc-drops-omicron-prevalence-estimate-526210
Assuming Omicron is mild and that Omicron generates antibodies that protect against other variants (both seem likely), Omicron may be the Deus ex machina that ends this pandemic once and for all.
