As long as there are new variants, any increase in death can be blamed on that. If they decide to decrease the testing on people in the hospital, then less people will be hospitalized with covid. If they only test unvaccinated people in the hospital/ICU, then they can say 99% or 100% of people in the ICU with Covid are unvaccinated.
Barely anyone looks into the numbers that listen to the MSM.
Statistics is the science of changing your mind under uncertainty. What might your mind be set to? A default action or a prior belief. But what should you do if your mind isn’t set? What if you have no opinions whatsoever? Just go with your estimate (that’s just a fancy way of saying “best guess based on what you know”). How do you get one? Just look at the data and report what’s there. This is called analytics (a.k.a. data-mining) and if you’ve ever used a spreadsheet, you’ve already done it. The good news is that your gut is actually pretty good at giving you the right estimate. No need for complex mathemagics.

Even the mildest cases can cause long-haul COVID
The largest study is in preprint, meaning it is still being peer reviewed. Researchers examined the medical records of 1,407 people seen at a range of University of California outpatient clinics and found that 27% of those patients suffered from shortness of breath, chest pains, coughs or abdominal pain two months after being sick with COVID-19 – and that nearly a third of those patients had no symptoms during their original infection.
“Among outpatients, risk factors made very little difference in the study numbers. That’s also what we’re seeing. Anyone can get long-haul COVID.”

A little premature to say it is now as dangerous as a cold. If deaths stay low through winter into spring, and this latest uptick in deaths shows to be the winter top, then maybe I will agree, but certainly not now.
Covid is worse than a common cold. Long haul covid cases can happen to anyone. Sure feels a lot stickier than a common cold virus.

Long haul any disease happens-this happens with the flu or Lyme disease for instance. It is due to the immune system still being stimulated causing residual inflammatory issues. You’re right, we do not know a lot about Covid or Omicron-due to all the misinfo on both sides, wild anecdotes on both sides and misleading authorities and censorship.
