Corona Virus Treatment

Going by the news, this new variant is already in the UK. Two cases being confirmed in, Chelmsford and Nottingham today.

 

Boris is on tele at 5 tonight - to tell us about Omicron.

 

I heard that he tripped over a kerb stone and accidentally decapitated himself - but hey - that's the Chinese media for you...

 

I can't wait

 

Dozens of passengers arriving in Holland from South Africa test positive for Covid. I thought you had to show proof of a negative test prior to flying, seems that is not the case.

Think Matt Lucas nailed it:

 

You'd be a bit mad to believe anything written inthe Daily Mail...Paul Dacre noted that his job was to give the British people something new to be angry about every day. He was very good at it.

 

Yes it does!

Omicron: Covid vaccine developer says jab could be tweaked in 100 days if new variant evades immunity

And 100 days to tweak a vaccine might be reasonable. I'd leave it to the epidemiologists. If they say that works - happy days. But that's very far from 'it arrived this morning; they are claiming to have tweaked the vaccine by tonight' after all.

 

They actually said that tonight FC in the briefing that it could be achieved in 100 days. Lets believe them and keep positive.

 

Unless of course they knew about the new strain some while ago and have only just released it to the public, giving time for Astra Zeneca to update the vaccine.

 

Hmmmm.... food for thought there @Sheal .
