Coronavirus

I hadn't realised that. I read that it was a mixture and that some were totally new. But that was on the BBC website a few days ago, so maybe there's more of an understanding since then.

It has mutations in the spike and the body. Think the ones in the spike have appeared in other variants. The spike is what we are worried about as it's what the vaccines target.

Could be wrong though. Sometimes get conflicting information.
 
Was thinking. If omicron is that transmissable and as mild as we hope. It can end the pandemic. It could also be a way of fighting future pandemics. Isolate the virus, manipulate it so it's much more transmissable, mild and can't mutate further. Then release that into the population so people get immunity.

that's the start of so many books and movies :D
 
Just not enough data yet on Omicron to be conclusive. Not enough time has elapsed, not enough demographic to be infected. It’s all guesswork and spin so far, some of it innocent, some of it through spin.

It's going to take a few weeks. Even knowing what's happening in south africa won't mean it'll be the same in europe. Different age demographics different weather (especially as they are entering summer and us winter). It's right we're taking precautions.
 
Over 47,000 cases in france today. Big jump. Deaths at 115. Seeing as cases have trebled in the last couple of weeks can unfortunately see them rise.
