Has anyone died of omicron after booster?

Tested positive for Covid and think it's probably omicron. I have quite a lot of health anxiety and have been trying to find this information. I am obese, mid thirties, fully vaccinated no other known risk factors (i.e other than weight which I know is significant). Currently feeling quite rubbish. If anyone knows the answer to this and can reassure me it would really help!

I don't know but your chances of death are miniscule. Have you got someone with you in real life to share anxieties with? I have covid currently, also omicron I think. It's not nice at all

Surely you're more likely to die falling down your stairs than of Omicron.

Sorry OP. Anxiety is a horrible thing but it won't help your recovery wasting your energy feeling anxious. You need to do everything you can to relax and recover.

I don't have the answer to your question. But I had what I assume was omicron last month after only being double jabbed in Feb and May. Hadn't had the booster, I'm overweight too and I was fine. Extreme sinus pain was the main symptom.

Even if they have that may not tell you anything. Some people dying of covid are very ill with other things. Don’t find out. Just focus on your excellent chances of being well again soon.

I think the stats are ninety percent of people in hospital with it, are unvaccinated, but the remaining ten percent ,many of them who are vaccinated are in for other things, like a car crash or falling down stairs and breaking their leg.

They pretty much know now that it’s milder than flu, so it’s like asking will I die if I get the cold. Try not to worry.

I have two dozes of vaccine, and got infected by Omicron (I think) at the beginning of December. One week before I got a positive pregnancy test too .... The worst symptom was headache, and other symptoms: cough, fever 37.5, sire throat and running nose. Do not be scared, everything will be fine....

Knowing the answer to this won't reassure you, it will just give your anxiety something to focus in on.

Even with excess weight, if you are in your 30s you are very low risk.

And that was with the earlier variants.
