Popular Post webfact Posted December 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2021 BANGKOK, Dec 29 (TNA) – A renowned virologist predicts Omicron will be the dominant variant of COVID-19 worldwide in a few months and Thailand may face its 5 th wave of the disease after the New Year holiday. Prof Dr Yong Poovorawan, chief of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University, said the country already experienced four waves of COVID-19 in 2021. He said that his center found 40-50 Omicron cases out of 96 cases it received for examination. The rate showed that the Omicron variant spread fast. Without public cooperation on disease control, caseloads would soar and the country would face the 5 th COVID-19 wave after the New Year holiday, he warned.

Popular Post wensiensheng Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 You mean they only just noticed all this? Ten year old kids in other countries could have spouted this based on their knowledge of world events. And what’s with the “MAY face a 5th wave”. It’s a racing certainty and everyone knows it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mostly UK) - Omnicron is increasing exponentially (the phrase "resistance is futile" springs to mind), displacing Delta, hospitalisations and deaths stable. Take from that what you will. I have confirmation bias - I always thought locking down the world was stupid, on a pros and cons basis, but now we have generals fighting the last war.. Correction ... he is not a Doctor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Tom H said: Any B or T cell responses with Sinovac? Too difficult? Probably not. Chinese companies haven't been transparent. If there we're good results it would be all over the news and easily Googled. Just silence as they realize the Billions of people vaccinated are now basically easy targets for Omicron. Just before the Olympics in less than two weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hioctane Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 We are beyond the point where case count even matters. It is clear that this strain is not as deadly and the only thing that really matters is hospitalization and death. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriesatousa Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 And it's all good - much lighter variant with less side effects. Build up those antibodies so each strain can get weaker. Let it go, let it go.....! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you there as I was reading an article from Sydney, 11,200 tested positive to Omicron, 3 deaths. Those numbers sound good enough compared to Delta, that said, no talk of ages of the deceased or whether they had pre-existing conditions which is the vital part of the information, and only 61 in ICU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
