Dutch health authorities on Friday said that a significant number of passengers on flights from South Africa over the past week have tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival despite having been vaccinated and testing negative before departure.
“It shows that the virus is spreading easily and that is worrying,” said Bert van de Velden, director of the regional health authority for Kennemerland, which includes Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

perhaps the BC can sell some tests in USA https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/03/us-coronavirus-omicron-testing-biden.

unlikely.

" I am sure he is lining up another fantasy order for this POC test as we speak."\

Mr Budd said he expected to sell 2000 units next year and 3000 the year after, but that was before omicron. I expect POC sales in December considering the infectiousness of the new omicron variant and the importance of accurate on-site testing. Especially since 1 in 4 OAP in retirement homes have not received a booster.

Do the right thing indeed... unfortunately hypocritical, corrupt, criminal and, of course, dishonest behaviour of our leaders over many decades has lead to a huge amount of mistrust amongst a significant portion of the public which has manifested itself in many ways, one being the anti-vax movement and anti-covid vaxxers.

"Same reason it was 200p last year!!"

.. it was over-bought. Fingers crossed... unfortunately pumpers are dumpers.

rampers vs derampers

whatever helps collect ones thoughts is a good thing.... I believe omicron will not be any more serious than the delta variant however if it is indeed more infectious then many more people will catch it, and if many more people catch omicron than delta then many more people will need hospital treatment. Lockdown and testing can prevent rush-hour at hospitals, the current vaccine may yet still work effectivley against serious covid but if the shear numbers of people getting infected by omicron increases then only lockdowns and testing can keep hospital numbers down to manageable levels, relatively speaking. Fingers crossed the current restrictions are enough though. Ramp up testing and quarantine rather than restricting the lucky majority.

the after-lunch dump.

Tories maybe be piling into GDR now. Perhaps they know something.

"James they are not the same, AVCT are in cancer and other multi billion pound fields. Also own millions in assets, genedrive have a tiny lab in a university in Manchester and no assets, not even close"

I think Mr Budds salary may be similar to the CEO of AVCT. lol

Quite right to complain send your complaint to

Never forget rampers are SELLERS not buyers. They've already bought and are waiting for the moment to sell. They are narcisistic or deluded too in that they believe their own ramps actually increase the share price. Fingers crossed sp will end above 40p today.

This could turn out to be a great christmas party after all! It's approaching my GDR break-even price!

Brilliant. Almost above placement price.

Whuch suggest in nl alone, 60 people arrived with new variant. It has r of 2, so they infectes 120 people amd so forth. Christmas is ruined... Unless the vaccines work and keep it mild and people out of hospital.... Fingers crossed. Obviously rampers will be hoping for the worst, coz thats the type of people they are.

If omicron is extremely mild and highly infectious then natural global herd immunity will be attained in a matter of months. Look to india and delta. But i agree, they would be a hectic. If its not mild and an escape variant then we have a new pandemic.

"Wall Street’s Dow Jones industrial average is on course to shed around 2.5% on Monday and the broader S&P500 is tracking for losses of 2.2%. Other major indices are heading the same way with the FTSE100 expected to drop 3.8%, the Hang Seng seen losing 1.2%%, and the Nikkei to drop more than 3%.

However, there’s a lot that could happen in the meantime. If evidence emerges that the new variant is not as dangerous as previous ones, markets could rebound very sharply so the futures indices will be closely watched for the next 24 hours in the build up to the next session opening in Asia Pacific.

Worth quoting comments by Dr Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association and a practising GP based in Pretoria, who said it was “premature” to make predictions of a health crisis.

“It’s all speculation at this stage. It may be it’s highly transmissible, but so far the cases we are seeing are extremely mild,” she said”"

Its almost summer in SA and i read the variant has an r value of 2. But this guy reckons there is a good chance vaccines will still work.

Speaking on BBC’s Radio 4’s Today programme, Professor Sir Andrew Pollard said:

If you look at where most of the mutations are, there are similar to regions of the spike protein that have been seen with other variants so far and that tells you that despite mutations existing in other variants, the vaccines have continued to prevent very severe disease as we’ve moved through Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta.

At least from a speculative point of view we have some optimism that the vaccine should still work against this variant for severe disease but really we need to wait several weeks to have that confirmed.

But it is extremely unlikely that a reboot of a pandemic in a vaccinated population like we saw last year is going to happen

Pollard added that it was still too early from the data in South Africa to make any decisive conclusions of the impact the Omicron variant will have.

He was also hopeful that a new vaccine, if needed, could be developed rapidly. He said:

The processes of how one goes about developing a new vaccine are increasingly well oiled.

So if it’s needed that is something that could be moved very rapidly.
