Omicron variant perhaps as severe as others

Although there are studies that indicate the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant less severe although more contagious than other variants, the researchers state that it is intrinsically severe as the previous ones having verified how the risk of hospitalizations and mortality would be almost identical in the two periods compared depending on the variant taken into account and comorbidities; however, there are several limitations represented by the number of patients vaccinated in the various waves of the Covid-19 virus and the actual total number of infections (patients who used home diagnostic kits with rapid tests were excluded). It should be noted by changing the subject that in Beijing the health authorities have closed dozens of metro stations and suppressed bus rides to prevent the virus from spreading in the metropolis and avoid what happened in Shanghai where the quarantine has lasted for more than a month.
