Omicron 75% less likely to cause death than Delta COVID-19 variant: South Korean data

Omicron coronavirus variant are nearly 75% less likely to develop serious illness or die than those who contract the Delta variant, real world data released on Monday by South Korea’s health authorities showed.A study by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) of some 67,200 infections confirmed since December showed the Omicron variant’s severity and death rates averaged 0.38% and 0.18%, respectively, compared with 1.4% and 0.7% for the Delta cases.The KDCA classed severe cases as people who were hospitalised in intensive care units. COVID cases exceed 400 million globally as Omicrons spreads Around 56% of 1,073 people who died over the past five weeks were either unvaccinated or had received only one dose, the study showed, with people aged 60 or older accounting for 94% of deaths.More than 86% of South Korea’s 52 million population have been double vaccinated and nearly 60% have received a booster shot.South Korea had kept cases and deaths relatively low thanks to widespread social distancing measures and aggressive testing and tracing.The Omicron variant has led to a surge in cases — daily new infections topped a record 100,000 last week — but authorities have pushed ahead with slightly easing social distancing rules amid the lower fatality rate and ahead of a presidential election next month.Contact tracing and mandatory isolation for vaccinated people was scrapped in favour of self diagnosis and at-home treatment to free up medical resources.

New IHME study says COVID-19 has caused over 905,000 deaths in U.S., 6.9 million deaths globally

SEATTLE - A new study concludes that COVID-19 has caused more than 905,000 deaths in America and more than double the global deaths that have been reported. The updated analysis by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington School of Medicine found that COVID-19 deaths are significantly underreported in almost every country. The United States, for example, has reported roughly 577,000 deaths as of this week, but the 905,000 counted by IHME is much higher - more deaths than any other country. Researchers say roughly 6.9 million people have died around the world, compared to the 3.25 million that have been reported. Mexico's numbers more than doubled, according to IHME, with 617,000 deaths.

Pain relief caused by coronavirus may help explain COVID-19 spread: Scientists

Houston: The novel coronavirus which causes COVID-19 may relieve pain, according to a new study which could explain why nearly 50 per cent of the infected people experience few or no symptoms, even though they are able to spread the disease.According to the scientists, including Rajesh Khanna from the University of Arizona in the US, nearly half of COVID-19 transmission occurs prior to the onset of symptoms, and 40 per cent of COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic."It made a lot of sense to me that perhaps the reason for the unrelenting spread of COVID-19 is that in the early stages, you're walking around all fine as if nothing is wrong because your pain has been suppressed," Khanna said.In the research, published in the journal PAIN, the

Coronavirus causes uncertainty for state lotteries

BOSTON - The coronavirus pandemic has been a rollercoaster for state lotteries across the country, with some getting a boost from the economic downturn and others scrambling to make up for revenue shortfalls.Since March, Texas, Arkansas and Montana and several other states have seen an increase in sales, in part, driven by housebound residents putting cash down for scratch-off tickets. But lottery officials say other states, like Massachusetts and Oregon, confronted revenue drops due to stay-at-home orders that forced the closure of restaurants, bars and some retailers selling tickets.
