Gonna take a leap and say I'm getting down-voted due to lack of references? So here are some references:
(1) "A growing body of evidence indicates that the Omicron Covid variant is more likely to infect the throat than the lungs, which scientists believe may explain why it appears to be more infectious but less deadly than other versions of the virus." 2 Jan 2022. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/02/new-studies-re...
(3) "Even if the disease is milder, rapid onslaught of the virus could overwhelm health care systems (doubling time of 2.5 days means 50X increase in 2 weeks)" 18 Dec 2021. WHO. https://youtu.be/ltXkJTSBeaE?t=675

Dr. John Campbell's videos in general provide good, well-cited references of omicron progression: https://www.youtube.com/c/Campbellteaching/videos
