I’m sorry, but I have to call you in this. You were the one who made a completely baseless comparison (assuming a consistent case hospitalisation rate between UK and SA).
I mean, what you say is true but I did literally state that it was an invalid comparison. I only did it to demonstrate the dangers of comparing to a completely different nation without supporting evidence.
The only comparison I have been making is in a SA context itself, which is that on the key metrics Omicron has been better than Alpha or Delta variants.
Fair enough. I don't really care that much that its less severe than last time round, more that this time round is going to be more than bad enough to cause big problems.

I’m sorry, but I have to call you on this. Your prior post was predicated on a baseless comparison (assuming a consistent case hospitalisation rate between UK and SA).
The only comparison I have been making is in a SA context itself, which is that on the key metrics Omicron has been better than Alpha or Delta variants. I have yet to see any data that the UK experience won’t be the same (I.e. we will do better in this wave than in the prior waves, despite more limited measures).
