Bloomberg had their report
,President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser said that the omicron variant appears able to evade vaccines and some Covid-19 treatments, but that a booster shot can increase protection.
“It appears to be able to evade some of the immune protection of things like monoclonal antibodies, convalescent plasma and the antibodies that are induced by vaccines,” Anthony Fauci said on ABC’s “This Week.” “That’s the sobering news.”
“The somewhat encouraging news is that preliminary data show that when you get a booster, for example, a third shot of an mRNA, it raises the level of protection high enough that it then does do well against” omicron.
He also said that, so far, illness caused by omicron appears to be less severe, though he called that “preliminary data.” The variant is spreading rapidly in places like South Africa and the U.K., but there have been few reports of serious illness or hospitalization. The variant has caused no deaths in the EU area, European health officials said Saturday.
CW , Far East coming out of lockdown still plenty of flying , won`t be a lockdown here , they will jab up much as possible , only the unvaccinated will be the losers now , anybody can catch Omicron but all that are boostered will more than likely have no problems , if unvaccinated people die then that is their fault they have all had their chance with a vaccine , a doctors surgery did a survey with their patience and near all hospital admissions didn`t have vaccine , that is why i dont see a lockdown ,
(NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX) today announced results from an initial laboratory study demonstrating that serum antibodies induced by the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (BNT162b2) neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant after three doses.
Won`t be a lockdown near 100% , take no notice of some of the post on here , they have said on the news today it is no more dangerous than any other varient , when we had lockdown before no one had been vaccinated , now they are flooding with boosters , no one is dying the only ones who may are the unvaccinated ones , just enjoy life and get on with it ,
1 - flights are back enough for RR to keep them going
2- just seen this on the news = Covid: Three doses of the Pfizer jab 'neutralises Omicron', say experts
3- RR has got their debt down to cover any payments even slight interest rate rise ITP sales sort that and refueling system
4 - Press getting all excited about a Christmas party , i very much doubt that is going to make a difference , he will still be PM .

President later said 'there's no need for lockdown' if 'people are vaccinated and wear their mask'
Jonny , yeah there are a few Jim`s here , SP just a blip , I don`t see it down long as I believe the Covid strain is not so bad as first thought , i chat to people in Zambia and they know nothing about this new strain until i mentioned it .
You are trying to scare people who don`t buy shares much , the share won`t move from what you are saying but you might get some newbies worried , i see Crypto also had the dip yesterday and the prices are going back up to normal most are out the red into the green , people were just unsure how the new Covid Strain is going to be and caused a bit of a panic round the world , in Africa they will do a mass jab like they do any problem out there ,
yes it would be nice to see around 10p for a divi but that just isn`t going to happen not with 70 plus billion shares in issue Gordon Brown put the good divi days to rest , he was the one who super wrecked Lloyds with all the other rubbish he made Lloyds take over , Lloyds needs to break up big chunks of their assets and either give to shareholder by selling , or get the amount of shares in issue to about 20 billion , or float each chunk and give us all shares in the new floating companies . next years divi will be about 3p tops i just have that feeling .
