Calculating a CFR for a variant that has only been around for one mean time to death is certainly something.

Just because it came across my Twitter:

If anyone heard me in the media today (Dec 13), I would like to retract any comments that suggest Omicron may cause less severe disease. A lot still unknown right now and things look like they will be MUCH worse than I thought. Watch for more news in the next 24 hrs. 1/

I would expect we get some indication about severity this week or the next. Letting it run wild before we have anything is pure lunacy.
