与此同时,伦敦帝国理工学院的一项研究表明,Omicron 没有表现出更温和的迹象,并且该变体再次感染的风险是 Delta 的五倍多。 与此同时,英国周五报告了创纪录的 93,045 例新病例,据报道 Omicron 病例大约每两天翻一番。
来自丹麦的初步数据表明,需要住院治疗的 Omicron 病例的百分比并不低于其他变体。
在南非,在当前 Omicron 浪潮中死亡的人数似乎低于之前的浪潮,但死亡人数减少并不一定意味着人们不会生病。 该咨询小组指出,在病例激增之后,住院人数急剧上升。 南非人口也略有不同,注意到他们更年轻,可能以前已经感染过 COVID-19有自然免疫。
Meanwhile, a study out of Imperial College London suggested that Omicron was showing no signs of being milder and that the variant’s risk of reinfection was more than five times higher than with Delta. This comes as the U.K. reported a record-breaking 93,045 new cases on Friday, with Omicron cases reportedly doubling roughly every two days.

In South Africa, the number of people dying during the current Omicron wave appear to be lower than in previous waves, but fewer deaths does not necessarily mean people are not getting severely sick. The advisory group noted a steep rise in hospitalizations following a surge in cases. The South Africa population is slightly different as well, noting that they were younger and may have already had COVID-19.
