Omicron and Delta were both more deadly and more contagious than the early 2020 versions of COVID, so you don’t need to imagine. It was only the prevalence of vaccinations that prevented things from getting much worse. As far as the unvaccinated were concerned, the impact was devastating.
To add to this lockdowns saved a lot of vulnerable people from early exposure until vaccines became available. The fact that omicron is now considered mild is because we are facing it while vaccinated.
At least where I live (UK), seems to me that we all sat confined under house arrest while all of the vulnerable old people were discharged from hospitals (presumably, to make space for the tide of sick people that never happened) and gave each other Covid in retirement homes.
