   #SZDOpinion The release of critical #COVID-related data is very important for local officials to draw up appropriate #pandemic control and mitigation measures, and for the public to adopt a rational attitude towards #Omicron. #misinformation #transparency

     "We have to lie, to avoid a panic"✅
     This one probably killed more people than anything else because once you've lied and lost the public trust you can never get it back.

     Omicron variants killed more people than Delta in many places. While Omicron is less deadly *if you get infected*, the infection rate is far higher- so often the total mortality rate is higher.

     "It's like the flu"✅
     It's not. Omicron is up to 40% deadlier than seasonal flu- even without factoring in the likelihood of subsequent opportunistic infections.
