Three things…
1. He clearly said “with" the omicron variant, not “from” the omicron variant. So here we go again… 🙄
If you die “from” getting eaten by a fucking grizzly bear, “with” the omicron variant in your system, it's a covid death and you should shut down the country. Got it.
2. “No further details, yet” probably means the police haven't finished cleaning up all the blood, flesh chunks and bone fragments from the dead guy who got eaten by the grizzly bear, or hit by a double-decker bus, or struck by lightning…“with” the omicron variant.
3. If you watch the video of Boris Johnson talking about this with the ASL interpreter next to him, turn the sound off, and play “Yackety Sax" as background music instead, it's just like watching a Benny Hill skit. (See Below 😉)
I’m sure our controllers are gleeful that someone finally died “with” omicron.
