This is their new scam. They don't want us to focus on the number of cases, particularly the ones that show that the vaccines do not prevent infection like they told us they would. One particular subreddit even changed the order in which they report COVID by presenting the number of cases last instead of first. They'll likely stop reporting them altogether in time. Also watch the propagandists swarm like vultures to come and tell us (in that cucked condescending tone) why cases are no longer a good metric to focus on, and so on.
Their experiment has failed, and it's out there for everyone to see.
Compared to earlier variants Omicron is spreading faster than the testing facilities can keep up with.
"The omicron variant multiplies about 70 times faster inside human respiratory tract tissue than the delta variant does, scientists at the University of Hong Kong report." https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/12/15/1064597592/a-tantalizing-clue-to-why-omicron-is-spreading-so-quickly
Wow for a guy who thinks of himself as intelligent you sure have a tough time answering a simple question.
What is a Case?
Sorry. A positive result on a covid test.
Right, thanks
So there shouldn't be much difficulty in counting cases, since they're just counting positive tests.
I think the issue is counting infections, which they could never accurately do.
That's why IFR has always been so much lower than CFR.
According to Wikipedia my age category IFR is 0.068%. Risk for me would be vastly lower however since i don't have underlying conditions.

Good thing the vaccines protect grandma from me. Oh wait..
