Using the numbers in that paper the death rate was something less than 0.25% meaning you have something more than 99.75% chance not to die. BUT, that is a misuse of those numbers.
How many paragraphs should have been spent explaining that new cases *might* have gone into the hospital last week (more likely this week) but any deaths won't come for another couple of weeks? The fewer than 20 deaths weren't from the 8,057 new cases last week, those deaths were from the cases two or three weeks ago.
When the media tries to explain the data they are called fear mongering and ratings whoring. When they don't try to explain it not only are they still criticized plus people tend to misunderstand and misuse the data.
Still, these numbers appear to be relatively low and hopefully they will stay that way.

Many Doctors are now saying that the Omicron surge may ALREADY be DECREASING - or that it will begin in a few weeks with 1st cases and later hospitalizations and deaths beginning to decrease.
.....As to the media.......the legitimate ones (those around before about 1970 or you could say before RUSH ) - are NOT being alarmists. They are the factual TRUTH-tellers in a sea of misinformation and outright propaganda!
