Sounds like RJ & Obi have it, though may be asymptiomatic. If it were just being exposed, they would take two tests, get negative and be cleared. |

Urgh, I hate waiting for the info we need about this- cross everything it's less severe, but even if it is it's spreadability is so horrific (really don't see how it can be stopped or slowed down enough) things could get bad so quickly (better hope that means it's over pretty quickly too.

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Even if omicron is less deadly it will be infecting people side by side with the delta. What I am worried about is the eventual person who is infected by both at the same time and how that might create new mutations. Our medical field can barely keep up with delta alone. When Omicron infection clog up the hospitals those delta people who get left out will die when in other situations they might have had a chance. Apparently I am not the only one who fears dual infections. "Covid infections normally only involve one mutant strain, but in extremely rare cases two can strike at the same time. The article says this has been rare with COVID since there is usually 1 dominant strain. However, with both the Delta and Omicron with such high transmissible rates its possible if outbreaks are left unchecked due to the high numbers of infected. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Still feels like a lot of people don’t get what’s coming. I know it’s the least of our problems, but Is the nba even planning anything? Don’t see how there isn’t major distruption/ stopping crowds again in a few weeks time |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Notice he said first known. With how quickly these positive tests has started occurring once the new variant was discovered I have a feeling there is a lot more cases were we don't know is omicron. |

Even so, that’s still a lot of deaths. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: "Omicron’s genetic traits bear more similarity to forms of the virus circulating last year than more recent strains, such as Beta and Delta. “It seems to have been hiding for a year,” The most popular view among virologists is that it spent months mutating in an immunosuppressed person with a chronic infection. Other ideas include evolution accelerated by the use of anti-Covid drugs, and crossover into an animal species that later jumped back into humans.
The immune response of an untreated HIV patient would be “too weak to clear the virus but strong enough to drive the process of evolution”, explained Lessells. He said this process would allow coronavirus to mutate without being “picked up” as many of these patients are asymptomatic and therefore do not get tested." |
