New Covid strain spreading across the UK that's less likely to cause symptoms

Yeah @Mitz
BTW the only thing i don't like about this guy is he thinks Covid is spelled with a K


:lies:

We're all doomed and we're all going to die unless we all get boosters and hold down the unvaxxed and jab them!

Absolute cockwomble

I was watching the news in the early hours and Africa are not worried, people aren't scared, its a bad cold, no worse. No one is on Oxygen or ventilators over there due to this Omicron variant.

As already said, he is just distracting from all the other drama thats going on

Fucking joke of a man!
 
putting aside the prime minister being a cunt, i’m still not sure how clear it is this is less harmful. the initial wave in south africa appears to have been among younger people. so obviously that would mean less serious illness. there’s still info needed before they can reach any conclusion, it seems to me. the experts are being cautious, which is probably sensible. i think dr jc may be being over optimistic, but it will be nice if he turns out to be right.

but still, it’s a cert bj jumped to plan b to try and avert some of the attention from his current woes. :D
 
this article is quite interesting. there’s a virologist postulating that omicron could be the result of an anti-covid drug that merck have been testing in south african patients, that’s had emergency approval for use here and EU. this guy seems to think it could lead to dangerous mutations.

Another theory here about uncontrolled HIV:

John's actually smiling in his latest broadcast. Definitely worth watching if you are depressed about covid.
 
Set up? Jabs are crap but the boosters aren't, 40 million more boosters to freedom, then rinse and repeat :hmm:
Makes sense to me in a way. I don't believe for a second all "immunity" (word used loosely @StrawberryRipple so don't start mate :lol1:) disappears as the body isn't stoopid. But I can see it dropping, and I can see boosters increasing protection, something that is no doubt important for the elderly and vulnerable. WHO is still only recommending boosters for vulnerable groups, arguing all other boosters would far better serve the rest of the unvaccinated world, as one shot is better than none.

Exactly how much difference it makes to the non-vulnerable re sickness level between two jabs and three, only Frieda knows.
