I have worked in and have family and friends in South Africa.
Omicron is understood to have emerged there. This may or may not be true. South Africa offers an unusual combination of poverty, low vaccination rates and low volume but high quality medical capabilities. It is thus highly likely to identify variants whether or not they began there.
Omicron to date has killed noone, globally. Anywhere. The South Africans, WHO, USA, British.... not a single death reported to date.
Loads of folk without symptoms. The poor in South African townships interviewed on TV stating that they do not even bother with masks as it is just a cold. South Africa has not locked down, whereas it enforced stringent lockdowns during previous outbreaks - alcohol bans, cigarette bans, travel bans ...
This mega virus that infects double jabbed and triple jabbed people, even those who have had covid before.... we are told we need boosters. Kids aged 5 need vaccines.....
But noone seems to die
Is there at least a chance that we all learnt about this one as children. Wisdom from centuries ago .... ?
