Thousands of Americans dying a day isn't bad enough? How much worse does it need to get before it's something we should still be very concerned about? And deaths are in fact rising. According to your chart they were around 6000/day (7 day average) on Jan 1 and are 7600/day in the most recent data two weeks later. |

And as mentioned in my above comment.
Can you show me how many are dying because of Omicron specific and how many are related to previous Delta infection that were already admitted in the hospital?
I'm not saying people aren't dying. Lockdowns aren't in place for the flu and that has also 52 k. deaths per year ( = 145 per year) and is much less contagious as Omicron. Also, Delta is not gone yet.
You have to compare numbers with reality. Otherwise I can ask you at how many deaths per year you would reduce restrictions or at what death/severity rate.
0 is definitely impossible as some people will remain unvaccinated. You could have the same argument that 10 people are dying per year...
PS. Compare it with December 2020/January 2021 which would be comparable with visiting family/friends multiple times. We aren't anywhere near that peak with *7 infections.
