Covid rocketing, 2 years after Wuhan

If anyone says all countries (suffered rocketing died) reported Covid deaths today are due to the Omicron surge*, that’s a useful sign that you can ignore anything else they say about Covid, ever. *They’re not, they’re due to a big reporting backlog over Christmas. No rise in deaths by date of death.

Omicron being disproportionately dangerous for children - it's continuing the trends from the recent delta wave, and with more cases, which means more admissions.

Implications of a shorter generation time: need to detect and isolate cases even quicker (rapid tests), but then once we do, they could be released quicker too.
