WHO’s Covid-19 Technical lead Maria Van Kerkhove has said that ” We should not consider Omicron Covid-19 variant as a just mild disease we should treat this variant also like other two, or it can be very dangerous and it can make the situation much worse”. Cases are unstelling and even with lower risk, we will experience hospitals flooded. Further, she also added that “Please be careful as I don’t want to scare the Public ”
Yes, oversimplified narratives can be dangerous. While we see lower risk of hospitalisation compared to Delta, to suggest that Omicron is “just a mild” disease is dangerous.
