   Aug 2, 2022 · Subsequent analyses further supported a lower risk of severe outcomes in infections with omicron compared with delta, although these data were limited to all cause deaths within 28 days of diagnosis.4 Additionally, many public health measures previously enacted to curb SARS-CoV-2 transmission were being relaxed in early 2022, potentially resulting in more infections in relatively low risk ...

   Apr 2, 2022 · The risk of severe outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection is substantially lower for omicron than for delta, with higher reductions for more severe endpoints and significant variation with age. Underlying the observed risks is a larger reduction in intrinsic severity (in unvaccinated individuals) counterbalanced by a reduction in vaccine effectiveness. Documented previous SARS-CoV-2 infection ...

Still, as with other health issues, age remains a factor, del Rio says. “For any disease, if you're older, you're going to do a lot worse,” he says.

   Does the Delta to Omicron transition reduce hospitalisation and mortality risk?

   • These estimates indicate that the overall observed reductions in hospitalisation and mortality risk understate the intrinsic reduction in the risk of severe infection outcomes associated with the delta to omicron transition, due to those reductions being partially counteracted by reductions in vaccine effectiveness.

   What is the difference between Delta and Omicron infection?

   • Normalized by the number of confirmed cases — the case fatality ratio — Omicron infection had about a twofold lower mortality relative to Delta (Fig. 1g). Normalized by the total number of infections — the infection fatality ratio — the difference became approximately fivefold (Fig. 1h).

   Is the Omicron wave more severe than the delta wave 9?

   • In children, the fraction of SARS-CoV-2-positive cases admitted to hospital in South Africa doubled during the Omicron wave compared to in the Delta wave 8, 9. This seems to point to higher disease severity. However, the in-hospital case fatality ratio of children under 5 in the Omicron wave was 0.5% versus 0.6% in the Delta wave 9.

   Is Omicron more contagious than Delta?

   • Omicron is between two and four times more contagious than Delta, according to a Danish study that has not yet been peer reviewed. It’s also better at evading the antibodies triggered by vaccines, which is why it’s causing more breakthrough infections.

   How is Omicron different from the delta variant?

   • With dozens of mutations, Omicron is different from the previously dominant Delta variant in significant ways, which means that, after two years of getting a handle on how to manage risk, you might need to shift at least some of your behaviors. Among the changes, Omicron is more transmissible and better at evading existing antibodies.
