Could Omicron be even LESS deadly than seasonal flu <0.1% mortality rate?
Could Omicron be even LESS deadly than seasonal flu? Scientists believe ultra-infectious strain may kill 100 TIMES fewer people than Delta (and mortality rates were ALREADY similar to influenza before the variant emerged)
- Researchers expect the ultra-infectious variant to kill between 97 and 99 per cent fewer people than Delta
- UK advisers estimate the infection-fatality rate (IFR) it stood at 0.25 per cent before Omicron emerged
- Others suggested it could be 0.1 per cent — similar to flu— compared to 1 per cent before the vaccine rollout
- But experts queried 99 per cent estimate, insisting it does not look plausible and there too much uncertainty

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases according to the CDC, with a mortality rate of 1.45% significantly higher than COVID before Omicron at 1%. Yet we have not seen a press outcry and behavioral science teams deployed to instill fear in the general public.
Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, up to 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected.
