Omicron variant: Move over, Delta
-
Any word on the severity of the cases? Is this the hoped for you incredibly transmissible but much less severe variant that everyone has been keeping an eye out for?

The waaaaaaayyyyy too early reports seem to indicate that cases are milder, but then again, most cases of COVID are mild to begin with. There will need to be a much larger sample size to really know.

Yes - low grade fever, myalgias, fatigue. No loss of smell/taste.
But - young population, and small sample size.

The W.H.O. wouldn’t want to offend China, now, would they?
This really is absurd.

I’m glad I’m flying home today (Sunday). Monday the airports will probably be messy as the US implements its ban.
We all had negative antigen tests Friday. We’ll be wearing N95s on the plane.
Only non-witches get due process.

I saw an article quoting a doc in South Africa who's taken care of patients with the
NuXiOmicron variant.First of all, his patient population was young, and afaik, had no co-morbidities.
He says the symptoms were very mild, no anosmia, no loss of taste. One kid had a very rapid heart rate. Most common symptoms were overwhelming fatigue and some fever.
All resolved in a matter of days.

And meanwhile, in New York, the governor has cancelled all "elective" surgery because of the Omicron variant, which hasn't even been found in the US (though undoubtedly it exists).
