From what I've been reading on the net, scientific stuff etc, it seems that the scientists don't know yet what Omicron is or how it affects vaxxed or unvaxxed individuals, its just a lot of numbers being thrown around and no substance to verify that it is what they say it is, the first 4 cases were reported in Israel on the 21st November, all 4 travelled from Botswana as did 600 others?..all 4 people were fully vaccinated, but it dident state if they were sick, in hospital or otherwise healthy?
From a Wikipedia page. |

''AHPRA and the TGA are threatening the medical staff with deregistration if they speak up about vaccine injuries'' And I'm the wacko conspiracy theorist. |

And just to be clear, I have no doubt the vaccine works, and I'd still take it, its just the deal that has been struck that is the smelly part.

More weekend protests against vaccine mandates across the nation
Thousands of protesters have gathered in Melbourne's CBD once again, in another weekend of demonstrations opposing the Victorian government's vaccination policies and proposed pandemic laws. The group gathered on the steps of parliament, before weaving through the city's streets with anti-government placards and flags. A heavy police presence was monitoring the demonstrators as they walked through Bourke Street Mall amid chants, whistles and drums. According to Victoria Police estimates, there were 20,000 at Saturday's protest. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-...-cbd/100656014 |

It’s a situation that concerns me greatly. If the government cannot be wholly transparent on a matter that pertains to national health/welfare, I think they are at risk of making further related decisions on a basis other than genuine commitment to that health/welfare.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT November 27th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 1,467 new cases for Australia and 5 deaths so the CMR is 0.963%. 148 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.378%. The UK had 39,567 cases yesterday and 131 deaths for a CMR of 1.431%. 48,126 new cases in the USA yesterday and 428 deaths sees CMR at 1.629%. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Global cases pass 261M, the last 1M in 2 days Only- Vietnam (16,067) .... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and Lithuania drops below.

The current fortnight of UK data for cases and elapsed mortalities has finished.
There were 551,147 cases in the period to 13/11 and 2,046 deaths between 14-28/11 for a CMR of 0.371% which is fractionally lower than the previous period which was 0.373%. Case numbers are also down by 120k (17%) over the previous period but it’s still the second highest period since freedom day. Thus, in the 120 days since 'freedom day' they have totalled 4,005,751 cases and 15,141 deaths for an overall CMR of 0.378% which is slightly below the 0.379% at day 105. Here it is graphed - note that the base column at the end is the 2 week period prior to freedom day. To put that into an Australian perspective: If we had similar CMR and case rates to the UK we'd have about 11.2M cases and 42.5k deaths per annum well above the 900 deaths in a bad flu year like 2019.

(An antivax friend of mine has attended a couple of weekends, she reckons the first weekend was the biggest one.....which contradicts reporters views that "this is the biggest one yet" week after week...) On a serious note, whilst these protesters want to "kill the bill", which is nonsensical IMHO, if they have at least achieved to pressure MPs to water down some of the powers and improve the governance, then its a win.

Inevitable, what it doesn't say below but does mention in the video (link) is that they are chasing 29 other people from the flight that were allowed to isolate at home.

I’m sure Professor Sutton and others will want to keep up the hype.
https://www.9news.com.au/national/co...d-ae9e6aee41ef And where is the Betoota Advocate? They’ve seemed a bit sluggish on Omicron. |

Not looking like it's anywhere near as bad as Delta and no lung complications...?

It's mentioned elsewhere in the thread that people with the new strain are "asymptomatic".....what does that really mean? |

A new strain that is way more contagious than any but extremely mild is probably the best thing we could have hoped for. It could push out the other strains and provide good immunity from them.

Asymptomatic simply means that the person isn't actually showing 'symptoms' but has the virus.
