A new study conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School among others has found that the omicron variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is just as severe as earlier variants, and not more transmissible but no less severe, as previously thought.
“Although the unadjusted rates of hospital admission and mortality appeared to be higher in previous waves compared to the Omicron period, after adjusting for confounders including various demographics, Charlson comorbidity index scores, and vaccination status , we found that the risks of hospitalization and mortality were nearly identical between periods,” the authors wrote.
See now: Omicron caused spike in deaths in vaccinated people, analysis finds, though unvaccinated remain most at risk The U.S. is averaging 67,953 cases a day, up 59% from two weeks ago, according to a New York Times tracker. Cases are climbing in all but four states and territories and have more than doubled from two weeks ago in more than a dozen, the tracker shows.
