First person in UK dies from(?)/with(?) Omicron

One Omicron death (though sad) against 50,000 pending preventable deaths from undiagnosed cancers.
And that number will be bigger as medics are diverted to the booster campaign.
Has our country lost its mind?

“There are 200,000 Omicron infections a day.”
“Correction: There are 200,000 cases of Omicron in total.”
“Correction: There are 200,000 Covid infections a day, 20% of which are Omicron.”
“Correction: Our model reckons there were 200,000 Covid infections today.”

What a shower.

So the first person has died. 1 person out of a population of 70 million, and the government is suspending civil liberties and threatening to suspend more.

Now a few questions for this government that will probably go unanswered are:

1. How old was this person?
2. Did this person have any co-morbidities?
3. Did this person die from Covid-19 or did they die with Covid-19?

The reason we probably won't have any answers from the government on this is because, as the statistics reflect, the vast majority of people who have died from Covid-19 are those in their 80s and 90s above the life expectancy age and who have significant co-morbidities such as hypertension and dementia.

We also likely won't be given an answer as to whether this person's cause of death was down to Covid-19 itself or a co-morbidity.

And yet, the government is suspending your civil liberties, ruining businesses and causing cancer deaths... over this. 1 death with no details. Astounding.

More and more medical experts now speaking out and asking questions.

Professor of medicine and consultant oncologist Karol Sikora said the Government should release more details about the death to put people's minds at ease.

'Have they had booster? Are they elderly?,' he said.

'There are all sorts of nuances to this thing, and we're not being given proper information.'

He added that given the average age of Covid fatalities in the UK, and that the individual may have died while being infected with Omicron, as opposed to because of the variant, there was no reason to panic and the Government should calm fears rather than stoke them.

'The average age of death of Covid is 82.5 so a lot of 82-year-old people die in a year, at any one time,' he said.

'No details have been released, I suspect it's just some old boy that's tested positive, he may have died in his sleep or with a heart attack, who knows?

'It is unnecessarily alarming.'

Professor Sikora said his suspicion is that the silence regarding whether the person was vaccinated or not indicated to him that the person died of another cause while they had Omicron.

'I suspect that it's a death, which is unfortunate, but is due to something else, and it just happens to be Covid positive that's why they're not making a big noise about them being vaccinated or not,' he said.
