As the world waits for studies that give a clear picture of the Omicron variant, early clinical data emerging from South Africa hint at a virus that may cause less severe cases of Covid-19.
The South African Medical Research Council posted a report Saturday of the early experiences at several hospitals in Gauteng Province, where Omicron was first spotted in the country. Strikingly, most hospitalized patients who tested positive for Covid did not need supplemental oxygen. Few developed Covid pneumonia, few required high-level care, and fewer still were admitted to intensive care.
Experts caution against reading too much into these early reports, which are based on small numbers of patients. They suggest it will take time for the true profile of the Omicron variant to come into focus. But several note that while early discussions about previous variants of concern have hinged on trying to figure out whether they caused more severe disease, with Omicron the questions relate to whether it is associated with milder infections.
The report included an analysis of 42 Covid patients in the hospital on Dec. 2 which showed that most were actually hospitalized for other medical reasons; their infections were only detected because hospitals are testing all incoming patients for Covid. Many did not have respiratory symptoms. And the average length of hospital stay was 2.8 days, far shorter than the average of 8.5 days recorded in the region over the past 18 months, the report said.
The relatively low number of Covid-19 pneumonia hospitalizations in the general, high care and ICU wards constitutes a very different picture compared to the beginning of previous waves,” said the report, authored by Fareed Abdullah, director of the SAMRC’s office of AIDS and TB research.
Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy, told STAT he has “really been impressed by the relative lack of severe illness” seen with Omicron so far. “We’re just not seeing the number of patients that have been seen in previous surges who are seriously ill, even this soon into the surge.”
Amesh Adalja, an expert on emerging infectious disease and pandemic preparedness at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Health Security, said more data are needed but the early indications are “very intriguing.”
“It’s part of a trend of anecdotal reports that we’re hearing that the clinical spectrum seems to be more mild, especially in vaccinated people,” he said.
Where are the Nightingale Hospitals? Were they ever used?
This is not Covid day 1, we are in a better position whatever the headlines might suggest. The media wants to create fear, and doom, as that gets clicks.
The issue we have is Government getting in the way of allowing the Private sector to move forward and if need be to evolve to the landscape.
The constant moving of goal posts is just shooting yourself in the foot.
IF this new strain is more infectious and milder - good. Let it take over the Delta Variant, and lets get on with our lifes.
Lockdowns are expensive, and a misuse of state capital ... doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes as we know is insane.
The situation is more political than anything else.
We are at a greater danger of WW3 than anything Covid related imo. It wasn't that long ago the testing measures changed, when was the supposed freedom day, June, July?
We are well versed in how this plays out we have been through it before when it was a complete unknown. It is no longer an unknown.
This too shall pass.
All the best.
Omicron variant cases up 50% since yesterday. The horse has bolted it would appear. Global restrictions on travel coming back no doubt?

Omicron could be twice as infectious as Delta variant? Surging cases in South Africa

If any of the doom about covid was true, then shut pubs, schools, eateries, Parliament drinking rooms, malls, restrict numbers in shops to 1 person per 28sq meter, close unis, close parks, cease all public transport or have a PCR or flow test before using London Underground or public transport of any kind, lock it all down!
The only way to safely stop the spread of covid is to cull the population, there is no alternative. People spread covid, get rid of people, no more covid, simple.
The banker health minister is just another flip-flopping POS W4nk3r, what would expect from a fully paid up shill?

RE: China’s Bio Weapon to attack the world!
China created Covid 19 in Wuhan lab as a bio weapon, and it escaped?… forget about any fury animal in the Wuhan market, that is a complete joke!!! China has started a biological war with the rest of the world and they have managed to almost escape the effects of the virus, obviously they had it all planned to disrupt the western economies for their benefit. Maybe the West should send in some agents with Omicron to balance things up a bit?

This is how the super soaraway Sun was reporting it before the announcement:
COUGH UP Holidaymakers face extra £400 bill as pre-departure tests could return, government warns.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/16929961/holidays-pre-departure-tests-omicron/
The Sun is very popular with easyjet customers, or so I understand, so this anti-marketing will doubtless hit hard... Turns out that £400 is for a family of four, so just £100 for individuals. Presumably that about doubles the cost of the flight. Some people will pay it but many others will be put off flying. That Q1 update in January is going to make very interesting reading. I wonder what avocet's long list of 'analysts' make of all this - buy recommendations with unachievable targets again, I daresay. Do they EVER put their hands up and say, 'sorry, we got this totally wrong'?

More bad news; two Belgian zoo hippos have tested positive for Covid - so they won't be getting on an easyjet flight anytime soon either.
