What a spike without any news...

[crazi] 04/12/2021 17:00

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said there is early evidence to suggest Omicron has an “increased risk of reinfection” and its rapid spread in South Africa suggests it has a “growth advantage” compared to Delta.

Therefore, virologist Marc van Ranst pointed out that “if the omicron variant is less pathogenic but with greater infectivity, allowing Omicron to replace Delta, this would be very positive.”

In fact, Omicron could turn out to be “a storm in a teacup” and may blow over within a few weeks, according to a former head of the British government’s vaccine task force.

Clive Dix said that, if the new variant did turn out to be milder but more infectious than Delta, it would be worth easing travel restrictions so to let the milder Omicron mutation spread further.

He told UK newspaper i he is “pretty calm and not really worried” about the new variant, adding that “if we look at all the facts that we know so far, none of them are heading in the direction of being a super concern.”

“We’re not seeing serious disease yet and we’re not seeing death. The picture looks like it’s now a milder virus – and that’s what you expect with viruses. They mutate to become more transmissible – they’re not looking to be deadly, because otherwise they don’t get transmitted,” Dix explained.

He added: “I think this could even be a storm in a teacup. It could be that in two weeks time we’re back to just measuring the number of people with Delta and there’s less people in hospital and we may be at the tail of this.”

In fact, Omicron may even turn from a curse into a blessing by diluting the severity of the disease and eventually banishing Delta, Dix stressed.

“There is a school of thought that if it’s weaker in terms of what it does to people then we should let it wash over us, we should get rid of Delta and then we’ve got a weaker virus in circulation that we’re not worried about. That’s really good,” he said.

Friday = Panic Omicron
Monday = No problem Omicron
Tuesday = Panic Omicron
Wednesday = No problem Omicron
Thursday = Panic Omicron

It's truly pathetic...



* Scotland - all cases of Omicron are mild and no hospitalisations
* South Africa - all cases of Omicron are mild and no hospitalisations even with the Un-vaccinated

etc etc etc

Coronavirus U-turn: Japan reverses Covid travel ban as Omicron variant increasingly appears to be ‘mild‘ variant




BUT - the DOW sneezed a bit yesterday so of course the FTSE catches a cold as it sucks on big mamma's titty in New York and can't make it's own decisions... ;-)

240 isnt even a resistance level. First one is 260 then 280.

Banks rallying today.

If this doesn't hit at least 245 today then someone needs to look very closely behind the scenes to see who is manipulating the order book...


Yep - when you remove the 3p from yesterdays stupid UT closing trade this is only up 1.5p so far today at 238.5p

Getting manipulated... should be well over 240p by now. Crazy to think this was 290p just last month and they have just bought back 1 Billion Euros of stock and yet it's 25% down from recent highs...

Under 250 these are cheap as chips so at 238 worth a good punt :-)



Omicron mutation is ‘super mild‘ variant, WHO and Coronavirus experts say -->


The WHO and Coronavirus experts around the world are calling this morning for countries to drop travel restrictions and end the mass hysteria and instead be cautiously optimistic as initial reports out of South Africa suggest the new Omicron variant is not more lethal than the previous Delta variant.

In fact, there have been no reports of hospitalisations or deaths as a result of anyone being diagnosed with Omicron.

Fhasson - perhaps you could explain the content of your links to encourage people to view. Nobody in their right minds would open a randomly posted hyperlink.
