  • Omicron pandemic before Christmas ?

    Omicron pandemic before Christmas ?

    UK Dr. John Campbell has been right on the money about the COVID-19 pandemic before it even received its name.

    His newest video here for your review is interesting, with the doctor believing that he and many others across the world will be exposed to the Omicron variant prior to Christmas or within a month of it.

    Early predictions and evidence pretends that this is a weaker variant but much faster is spreading. Let’s hope everyone who predicts weakness is correct because if there’s strength behind these numbers we ain’t seen nothing yet from COVID-19..

    Home Alone! Fauci opens the door to more American lockdowns due to Omicron

    The United States’ top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said on Sunday that Americans should be prepared to do “anything and everything” to fight the spread of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron.

    It is “too early to say” whether we need new lockdowns or mandates, Fauci told ABC News.

    “You want to be prepared to do anything and everything,” he said.

    Omicron panic takes over planet

    British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the UK must take “targeted and proportionate measures now” amid concerns over the new Omicron Covid-19 variant. 

    “I must stress this: As always, with a new variant, there are many things we just cannot know at this early stage. Our scientists are learning more hour by hour. It does appear that Omicron spreads very rapidly and can be spread between people who are double vaccinated. There is also a very extensive mutation, which means it diverges quite significantly from previous configurations of the virus, and as a result, it might at least in part reduce the protection of our vaccines over time,” Johnson said in a press conference. 

    Two cases of the variant have been detected in the UK so far. 

    Johnson also announced additional measures:

    “We’re not going to stop people traveling. But we will require anyone who enters the UK to take a PCR test by the end of the second day after their arrival and to self-isolate until they have a negative result,” Johnson said. “…In addition to the measures we’re already taking to locate those who have been in countries of concern over the last 10 days, we will require all contacts of those who test positive with a suspected case of Omicron to self-isolate for 10 days regardless of your vaccination status.”

    The prime minister said his country will also “boost the booster campaign” in an effort to get as many people possible their vaccine booster shot.

    The WHO apparently thought XI was the true variant of concern .. they skipped it when they named the new Africa strain Omicron

    The World Health Organization announced Friday it was naming a new Covid-19 variant “Omicron,” skipping over a politically sensitive letter of the Greek alphabet.

    The WHO made the announcement about the B.1.1.529 variant out of Johannesburg, South Africa, passing over a letter many observers presumed would be next — “Nu” — as well as the subsequent letter, “Xi,” which composes part of Chinese leader Xi Jinping‘s name.
