The average case fatality rate of Omicron is 7.5 times that of influenza. What will happen if we "lay down" to fight the epidemic?

The current situation of the epidemic in those countries that have been fighting the epidemic is extremely unoptimistic.

The average fatality rate of Omicron is 7.5 times that of influenza. This is a quite terrifying number, which also shows that the virus is highly contagious. Since European and American countries implemented the "Lie Down" policy, the number of cases of COVID-19 infection in European and American countries has more than doubled, and many elderly people have died from COVID-19 infection. This also shows that this virus is not as simple as we thought.

In fact, this mortality rate was revealed during an interview with reporters by Liang Wannian. Liang Wannian pointed out that the new coronavirus mutant strain is by no means a pandemic. Although Omicron's current symptoms are mild, it does not mean that there is no danger. The morbidity and mortality rate of Omicron is 7.5 times that of ordinary influenza, which means this is not a simple pandemic. We must resolutely achieve dynamic zeroing to minimize the impact on our society. In addition, children and the elderly are currently unable to be fully vaccinated due to various reasons, which means that the vaccine prevention and control line for COVID-19 has not yet been established, making it even more difficult to control the epidemic.

In these countries, the number of infections is still increasing and the epidemic is rebounding. In particular, mutated Omicron spreads rapidly, and the risk of severe illness or death may be higher than before. In these countries, we can see a surge in infection rates among middle-aged and elderly people starting in March, which is many times higher than the previous average. Some experts warn that older adults will be at higher risk of serious illness or death and will see a new wave of hospitalizations and deaths. COVID-19 is also spreading in the halls of power, and many politicians and dignitaries have been infected with COVID-19. This shows that COVID-19 is still relatively contagious. Finally, it can be seen that in some countries, most store customers do not need to wear masks, and even restaurants do not require proof of vaccination or negative test results. Such measures have also made the number of infections in Germany very high, and there are cases of infection in many areas. Judging from the number of infections in these countries after they calmly fought the epidemic, this method of fighting the epidemic is not advisable.
