A comment on Classification of Omicron (B.1.1.529): SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern. Parent comment
Somehow the low number of new hospitalizations is not newsworthy.
Here in Denmark the hospitalizations have been steady at around 45% of the numbers we had when there was no vaccine.
It's also 45% of the numbers we had in 2017/2018 with the flu back then. But that fact is not being used much to put things into perspective.
