Kind of slow, R0 should be less than 28.
 Quoting: whitepiedtv


Those are just confirmed cases. A regular COVID test does not tell you the variant.

They take samples at random from COVID tests and do additional sequencing which is more time consuming and expensive, which tells you the variant.

I'm not sure the ratio, but it's only a very small portion of tests that get sequenced.

What if this covid variant only causes mild cold like symptoms and rare hospitalization but no deaths…bigger, what if when infected by omnicron you become immune to all other variants of covid…this variant provides immunity through your own body’s immune response…no vaccine needed?

funny u should say that. i'm on the fence with this 1. timing of it all is too coincidental. don't think this is the real monster. just a scape goat for the failure of vaxes and deaths in young from the vax.

i do think a variant will mutate to attack vaxed more or that all vaxes won't stop someday. not sure someday is now thou.

so far the govern's are screaming way more than this thing looks to b biting.

"Experts said it will be weeks until they know how worrying the new variant is, so it is not yet clear what extra steps might need to be taken in the run up to Christmas."

"But there is no rise in hospitalisations in the region, which raises hopes it could be a milder Covid iteration."

this looks more like a flu than WUFLU. sure more contagious but less sever illness and low deaths. name it the nutinburger NB variant. but make surer too scream loud.

I think it's a pipe-dream, but here's a thought on the matter:

[link to www.centerforhealthsecurity.org (secure)]

Self-spreading vaccines have already been used to protect wild rabbits from myxomatosis and to control Sin Nombre virus in rodent populations. Additional work is targeting Ebola virus in apes and bats, Lassa virus in rats, and bovine tuberculosis in badgers….

There are 2 main types of self-spreading vaccines: recombinant vector vaccines and live viral vaccines.

Live viral vaccines are attenuated, meaning that the vaccine viruses are much less pathogenic than wild-type and would be similar to the oral polio vaccine or the live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in that those vaccines can sometimes transmit from person to person.

In the event of a grave public health threat, self-spreading vaccines could potentially be used to broadly inoculate human populations. Like the approach in animals, only a small number of vaccinated individuals would be required in order to confer protection to a larger susceptible population, thus eliminating the need for mass vaccination operations….”


KICKER:
Finally, there is a not insignificant risk of the vaccine virus reverting to wild-type virulence, as has sometimes occurred with the oral polio vaccine—which is not intended to be fully virulent or transmissible, but which has reverted to become both neurovirulent and transmissible
in rare instances. This is both a medical risk and a public perception risk; the possibility of vaccine-induced...


EDIT: The following would tend to imply this is not so mild...

 Quoting: abzzybee


That’s pretty close to impossible, Im sad to say.

The claims that it only causes mild illness are taken out of context (the lady was talking about some kids).

The claims that the vaccines still help is also nonsensical based on the data; they say 65% of their hospitalized cases are unvaccinated, but SA’s vaccination rate is 30%. It’s indistinguishable from no effect at all.

The odds that this evades all prior immunity is very high; it matches closely to experiments on the spike that were meant to create the “perfect” immune evasion (suspiciously so, even).

Now why can I say that the odds of it becoming mild are near zero?

Covid damages you with three mechanisms:

1. Viral replication resulting in cell death (all over, from heart to bowels to neural cells)
2. The superantigen site causing immune system exhaustion; and
3. Overreaction of the immune system (cytokine storm, etc).

For this variant, viral replication is much worse. The Ct values are around 18, indicating a viral load 64x higher than Delta (which was 1,200x higher than Covid Classic). So 1 is worse.

The superantigen site is still present. The immunosuppressive/exhaustive effects will be identical if not worse. That superantigen site is the main reason SARS-CoV-2 will never become benign.

A higher viral load will mean that the overreaction of the immune system is either the same or worse.

I would expect this variant to be something like 3x deadlier, or even worse, based on the viral load. Given its immune evasion properties and high contagiousness (we are now approaching the most contagious disease in human history), this is essentially a new and more dangerous pandemic.

A final note on those calling us “sheeple” for discussing it: there’s something that I’ve termed Agenda Orthogonality (AO) that matters a great deal in these discussions and is key to understanding any proposed conspiracy. The basic idea is that political agendas and objective facts are on two different dimensions (orthogonal to each other, like an X and Y axis). The fact that something is used as a political tool or an agenda has no bearing on the objective facts of the thing in question.

Now, if this came from another lab (a non-trivial possibility), then if anything the fact of the danger of the virus is positively correlated to the political agenda. By that I mean that it is MORE likely to be dangerous, not less. A more dangerous virus better serves their political ends. Authoritarianism is more appealing the greater the threat.

Either way, discussion about the variant does not somehow translate to support for medical authoritarianism. These are separate axes. And either way, I think it’s highly likely at this point that we are going to see everything get much, much worse as a result of this variant. And we are now facing that possibility while half or more of the population is (rightly) actively rebelling against the so-called medical authorities. That will make containment efforts almost impossible.

So hold on to your butts.
