As Omicron displaces Delta in King County so far the stats here are even much better than South Africa, in South Africa 1% were hospitalized, as opposed to 46% for Delta. So far here, it's less than 1/2%, even though cases in the last two weeks have climbed almost 500%, deaths are DOWN 62%. With the current Delta/Omicron mix, the death rate is presently at .2%, (twice the common flu), when it was 1.2% for Delta. I expect as the remaining Delta is displaced that will drop further (it has dropped to about .048% in South Africa). Of course they keep lying and telling you the vaxxes help when a recent study in the UK showed the opposite, your likelihood of getting Omicron or worse symptoms is HIGHER among the vaxxed there and in South Africa though the data for the UK is better since more people are vaxxed, only 6% of South Africa are vaxxed and none of them boosted.
