Death is probably closer to 0.05-0.15% in many parts of the world for actual estimated infections; it has become very manageable. Long covid is more of a mystery. Was super high for previous variants but long covid means long and omicron isn't quite at that point yet. I'm sure we'll get data soon enough. Same goes for the data that shows a substantial increase in risk of diabetes, heart issues, etc. with even mild infections. It's still covid so the risk is never gonna go to 0 but with omicron we don't know really.Do we have any idea what the current death, hospitalization and long covid rates are? Seems like it settled in around 0.7% for death, and maybe 10% for severe cases, but the last time I saw actual data was quite some time ago. I wonder how much effect vaccines / previous infections / better treatments / mildicron have had.
I suppose it is harder to argue about the dangers these days since things seem to be better, though 0.7% is still a lot of death for a virus that spreads like a forest fire. 10% hospitalized, 10% long covid also seem pretty high. But if it's like 70-90% asymptomatic to medium flu, it does become a tougher argument to make.
