Okay 5x, 6x whatever, not 500 times. The 500 number is based on something I have not yet read about in terms of spike/ACE-01 affinity and how that translates to infectivity and how they arrive at these numbers.
Switching off all news for the coming weeks as they headline ‘Where’s Whally’ been detected around the world.
It’s here it’s spreading. Death by a thousand cuts. Five here and there, then 10 next day then 20 then 30 ahhhhh we don’t need updates it is and will spread. Full stop.
500% more is x6
500% more infectious is 5x, not 500x, more infectious I think. Otherwise I would be rich. LTH here and scientist. We need to observe mortality rates with this one which will become clear in the next months. This becomes less about the virus but the resilience of society which is what keeps me awake at night.
Two cases of Omicon in UK, Chelmsford and Nottingham, Sky News.
xviolet. The Isle of England??
kiwi
try not to let the br*xit thing get to you. it was inevitable. england is an island. english people are island people. they don't like to share (not even their food), join in etc - english people are have many strengths (sense of fair play, robust, the queen, skeptical, sex pistols, digestive biscuits etc) but being european is not a good fit.
We absolutely know what’s coming as do the politicians and top medical bods.
Prof Whitty talking yesterday about deep concerns around people complying with new lockdown measures ‘if’ they are imposed.
I was pretty sceptical about even the Numis £9.90 forecast. The SNG guys are as credible as they come so very confident about the readout and certainly coming round to the Numis figure or even more as this plays out.
Yes but you can guarantee that if 10% of these flights had COVID already then this has defo past on to some of the other passengers that at the point of test at the Airport when landing tested negative at this point. Reading the article the ones that tested positive have been held and not the other passengers.
So sure as eggs are eggs, this variant now going to be in Netherlands come after the weekend. If is impossible to think that the remaining 540 passengers have not been infected and will spread this variant! So it will not belong now before it ends up in every country in Europe. By end of December we will be in trouble if this reads out as it is now.
Morning. Same news is also here:

You can find the article on NewNow website...If you got to Covid section and then scroll down you will find the article.

Kevin. The news source is News18..Com.
Have you got the link pls?
Dutch authorities confirm that 2 flights from Africa to Holland had 61 passengers out of 600 that tested positive with coronavirus.
Meanwhile at Heathrow yesterday people were flying in from Africa without being tested.
Our government really hasn't learned anything from the past.
Thanks ppeye, that’s a bit more believable but 5x more transmissible is still massive. We await scientific analysis over the next couple of weeks to see how relevant. 5x more transmissible and less virulent could still be good even if it has vaccine escape. Sounds like they are worried it could be more virulent also though
Rights and freedoms! Oh, the irony…
We just about managed to leave, kind of. Others couldn’t leave, even if they wanted to.
I'm not sure. The UK political classes aren't exactly overflowing with talent at the moment. I do know that a lot of people in the UK seem to enjoy a good phony war with Europe. It's embarassing.
Kiwi if this country was to face another Covid or War who do think could step up and lead this Country at the moment ?
Yeh, but I have lost my rights and freedoms in the EU27. Or has that not dawned on you yet?
Have you seen the state of the pound since 2016?
You do realise you can still travel around the world with a UK passport, right?
I’m sure you would have had us using the euro, too…
Yep being an entitled shameless lying smoozer has got him a long way.
Jennifer Arcuri played him like a love lorn oaf and sadly I very much doubt it is written in the stars to end well for BJ.
I'm more irritated with people taken in by Johnson's rather obvious attempt at pleasing his xenophobic base. Congratulations.
Instead of Omicron, I think in our household the new variant will be known as “Macron” after our irritation with the obvious across the water! (Wink emoji)
Fruits - yeah I saw that. Thx though. I made a general statement, but then too lazy to type more.
So this variant is called 'Omicron' and its symbol is 'Oo' ... how fitting. Seems like it was chosen to represent the reaction of the scientists when they found it.
I agree no point in being morose.
