Omicron enhances neutralising immunity against Delta

Good news! Not only is Omicron far less serious than the Delta variant but the graph shows that it is dying out in South Africa!AA6F2B65-AE79-4218-A560-9BFC5C4AC7DD.jpeg

I find that hard to believe as any figures from SA are suspect as many are not reported. Not the fault of any department as that is the way of Africa. No mention of it in the local SA newspapers. However if true it is indeed very good news.

It’s been on the news now for a few nights with South African experts giving guarded comments that it may be passed it’s peak. Regarding its virulence again SA scientists expreseed views on that quite early in the wave. Heres a very recent link:

The graph and data came from Nigel Farage GB News. Not any fake news😉😉

Neither of those sites are South African. The znbc is Zambia so not sure how they would know anything?
If it is true, why isn't it appearing in SA newspapers? Not seen anything on Sky news either. See iol.co.za

Dr Ridhwaan Suliman features a lot in the data provision. Google him . He’s been studying the Omicron progress in SA for months.
Newspapers don’t know it all😉
 
You cannot assume that what happens in on region will be repeated else where. Different regions of the world have evolved different embedded responses and immunities to certain types of infections. The SA's preliminary results and actions are of course encouraging, but the evidence needs to be properly reviewed, and verified.

Hate You say this, but SABC news is a total joke and no one watches it any more or believes anything it says as it has really gone downhill. However the headline is correct that curfews have been lifted for New Year.
Doing a search I found this so apologies to Dusty. See HERE.

Thank but doesn’t it say the same as BBC Africa, and SABC and even ZNBC regarding the lower rate of hospitalisations, and reduced severity. So basically all are saying the same thing. It has added nothing to what seems to be a pointless discussion.
As they say in Dragons Den “ I am out”
 
I did! Partying in Durban👏👏.
What is clear from this mornings news the Omicron infection rate managed 186,000 yesterday. Surprisingly, or maybe not, the areas with the highest infection density have the highest number of anti vaccers. Stay safe everyone and look forward to your next caravan trip.👍👍👍👍

Family in Durban now mostly infected with Covid. Daughter's BIL & SIL, FIL and MIL now all have Covid. Obviously FIL & MIL are elderly and in the seventies, but are not vulnerable. Strangely her immediate family no issue although she had the Covid about 2 weeks ago.
 
Three regulars in our local pub have contracted covid, but strangley enough, the barman who is from SA, and is in his late 20's has not got it.
But it never made it into the local or SA news.
🙄
 
Just come back from visiting two local pubs. At one a family sat outside in the cold to have a drink. Both were very quiet however both were like that prior to Christmas. Seems people are staying away from places that could be crowded.

I’m Scottish by birth and don’t have it😁 Sadly the Wilts and Gloucester Standard didn’t mention me 😉 I think within the next six weeks most of us on here will get Omicron. Yesterday’s infection figures were staggeringly high😥😥
