I am not sure what the panic is about, so far the death rate from Omicron has been low, the Uk still reports deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test, so you can die from a heart attack and it seems to be recorded as Covid (which from a science viewpoint is just ridiculous)
If Omicron is a varient of the previous strains then surely those with Underlying health conditions are also more at risk of death, but the number with other health conditions are never really mentioned either.
Meanwhile the UK hospitality industry is facing a huge drop in income at the key time of year when they make money that helps them through the year.
I am pro vaccine (my choice), but I am against all this scaremongering, confusing data
Before comments re vaccines I respect that others may not want to be vaccinated for a range of reasons.
