Lag time....give it two weeks or so and the numbers dieing from the Omicron variant will go up especially amongst the un or partly vaccinated. Delta hasn't gone away. Its not just deaths or hospitalizations that are the issue....those unwell enough to have to remain home will be in their 10s of thousands. Then the knock on effect to the NHS/emergency services/logistics etc. At least Scotland and Wales are leading in their advice and guidance. England's PM dithers.
