The world has seen half a million Covid deaths around the world since the omicron variant of the coronavirus was first detected in November, the media reported. Although considered milder than other Covid variants, Omicron has infected so many people that it has driven the number of daily deaths beyond where it was last spring, before vaccines were widely available, according to Washington Post data.
