Can anyone point to an official worldwide number of deaths attributable to Omicron?

Such a number would be difficult to interpret, or entirely meaningless, without understanding the classification methods and policies of each constituent region. This also holds true of overall death statistics.

Finally with local statistics, you still have political dramatics like https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1473480933579923456

Take this with a heap of salt but I looked for this figure yesterday and found it to be 12 in several sources, but hard to find the official figures. Share them if you do find them!
