Apologies, you believe it has already mutated into the common cold. Like I said, on your planet maybe.
Agreeing? I do believe covid will evolve in a similar way to the Spanish flu and 2019 will be the year of the mother of all coronavirus'. That's hardly agreeing as you seem to think it will mutate into the common cold. Have you forgotten what you've been constantly banging on about for the last week.
Hong kong flu.... Hi mr dribbles.. A walk in the woods.... Helps relaxing... The unknown is becoming clearer
Read up about Spanish Flu. Aka mother of all flus'. I have
Dribbles point is proven perfectly with the flu virus. It's been around over 100 years and that virus has mutated itself nicely into a harmless virus. This is what viruses do. it doesn't kill anyone and we don't need a vaccine. Oh wait!
Dribbles and about others are green binned, pleasant reading today.
You all still don't get it. If you keep replying to people like Dribbles they love it!
Yet quite a few people continue to humour him/her.
Just count to ten and stop it. It's fuelling the situation and posters like that hate it when they are ignored.
TWOSHEDS you're talking this up like a newbie. The article says "MAY" BE UP TO 40 TIMES" and it was only a small test on just 12 people, I suggest people read the whole article and not just summarise it to their own needs.
Moderna habe already gone away to tweek their vaccines. They know the current one isn't good enough, thisnis widely repoted.
It seems some peopleon here don't understand what "40 times fewer neutralising antibodies" against Omicron than against the original Covid strain actually means, it doesn't mean it is 40 times less effective.
Bad news for Dribbles and Woody today with the news our only vaccination in this country isn't going to be highly ineffective against covid. Good news is a previous covid infection gives the best protection.
Best news is I have alotnof green boxes (GB) today so much better for reading this board.
Well done to all the fact posting posters here.
Lost in the fog.....covid is moving fast.. Gov hiding in the christmas tree... Shambles
Scientists all around the world are now asking for samples of the 'scouse' gene.
Its allegedly supposed to be invincible.
Well, that's what they've been told about their football team.
There will be other studies being released from the other vaccines in the next days.
If Pfizer is showing a 40 x reduction in effectiveness, then Moderna is especially likely to follow.

Dribbles, this has been posted before. What you’re saying isn’t fact, no one knows, only assumptions. There’s a lot of optimism out there but articles like this state the opposite of your ‘mild’ comment.
Grim reading.

Definitely not good news for us as the general public.
Vaccination protection appears compromised better on 2 jabs than 1 but still can evade. Best protection is if you have had covid, assuming you still have antibodies.
Looks like a bad day ahead for the markets, covid stock should go well.
Rocky weeks ahead Im afraid over the Christmas period now. I wonder if this will speed up any plans for restrictions which I assumed wouldn't be invoked till New Year?
Broken on Bloomberg now: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-07/omicron-doesn-t-escape-pfizer-vaccine-completely-lab-head-says?srnd=premium-europe
Could a rocky day ahead tomorrow for the markets.
Not good news at all.

Who is up for tweaked vaccine shots every several months!!!
