The new variant is named Omicron

The variant shares similarities with the Lambda and Beta variants, which are associated with an innate evasion of immunity, said Richard Lessells, an infectious diseases specialist at the KwaZulu-Natal Research and Innovation Sequencing Platform.

“All these things are what give us some concern that this variant might have not just enhanced transmissibility, so spread more efficiently, but might also be able to get around parts of the immune system and the protection we have in our immune system,” Dr. Lessells said.

The new variant has largely been detected among young people, the cohort that also has the lowest vaccination rate in South Africa. Just over a quarter of those ages between 18 and 34 in South Africa are vaccinated, said Dr. Joe Phaahla, the country’s minister of health.

While cases of the variant are mainly concentrated in the country’s economic hub, particularly in the country’s administrative capital, Pretoria, it is “only a matter of time” before the virus spreads across the country as schools close and families prepare to travel for the holiday season, Dr. Phaahla said.

Apparently it has reached Europe, Belgium to be exact

Backside Rowley better lock off the MC border.
Otherwise is slaughter house in Trinidad.

How?
Taxpayers will bail em out again.

Better cal dead than the citizens. Only 250 might lorse they high paying jobs but remain alive vs they get big money an die a take the rest of us with it.

From day 1 if trinidad an tobago was made a bubble work an school would still carry on. They want to study those who want to fly in an out an who want to run back to trinidad an fork up all of TT. Less money would have been spent bailing out the hotels an tourism in tobago an Trinidad than they spent fighting covid.

You have high hopes, if you haven't noticed we have a very reactive government, never proactive

[DMan7]

Alright fellas what we expecting today?

[hover11]

Batting for 700 today

[j.o.e]

Why close borders when we have no direct flights from affected regions ? Yes it will reach USA eventually but haven’t we learnt that the world is too small to keep a virus out ?

[pugboy]

around 700 and the "normal" 20 odd

Yes. Ban flights from southern Africa to Trinidad.

Wait. What flights from southern Africa to Trinidad?

[DMan7]

There might be indirect flights from South Africa to T&T, not all countries banning flights from SA into their country.

[hover11]

Banning African flights makes no sense when it's already in Europe

[DMan7]

I just hope the PM sticks to his word of we have to learn to live with the virus and it is "endemic" and don't decide to roll back measures soon as elections finish on the December 6th, that would be too disingenuous.

[widdyphuck]

[Chimera]

Ummmm....you think if cal isn't around only 250 people will be affected?

The whole of tobago will suffer
Families of all the employees of cal will suffer.

How do you balance lives and livelihoods during a pandemic, it's impossible

[widdyphuck]

Delta is not the king of variants.

If only we could take something that made the virus way more harmless.

I'm sure if something like that existed everyone would take it.

Omicron is..

If it can evade vaccine and natural immunity yes we'll be in some more sheit in 2022

[pugboy]
