Covid-2019 - 2022-01-12

Thursday, January 13, 2022
Summary:
The US case-fatality rate has fallen to a new low for the history of the data. Fatalities are reported with a lag, so we can't rule out that the Omicron case-wave will still prove to be more lethal than it looks now. But for the moment, our initial call in the earliest days of Omicron -- that it was far milder than its predecessor variants -- is looking very good.
