When do we stop using cases as the measure of Covid severity?

Unfortunately the "disease severity" drop is not looking very well supported:Initial results suggest that Omicrons' ability to spread VERY rapidly comes at the "cost" of its disease severity.
This is a good thing for the majority of people, however, if lots get infected then lots of those will, in turn, end up very poorly. That is just a percentage/numbers fact.
Combine that with people isolating on a scale not seen before and things could get very tricky.
Get jabbed, pop a mask on, avoid people.

The study finds no evidence of Omicron having lower severity than Delta, judged by either the proportion of people testing positive who report symptoms, or by the proportion of cases seeking hospital care after infection. However, hospitalisation data remains very limited at this time.
Given that delta was 3 or 4 times as severe as vanilla sarscov2 infections, a more infectious and no less severe covid could be unpleasant.
How is that a u turn? He and the government hoped to not have one but there was always the possibility that there would be one, they just never mentioned it.Talk is now of a circuit breaker lockdown.
Another u turn by the government looking likely
That’s not a u turn, that’s monitoring and taking account of a developing situation. It’s probably a good idea, if Johnson can get it past all the Tory MPs paid to lobby for the hospitality and travel industries.Talk is now of a circuit breaker lockdown.
