The South African doctor who first sounded the alarm on the Omicron variant of the coronavirus said that its symptoms are “unusual but mild” in healthy patients — but she’s worried the strain could cause complications in the elderly and unvaccinated.

……………

So far, she’s had two dozen patients who tested positive and showed symptoms of the new variant, mostly young men. About half of the patients were unvaccinated, she said. None of those infected lost their sense of smell or taste.

It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well,” Coetzee told the paper. “So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home.”

 

 

这位医生经手的，都是青少年，没有重症。

但不排除对老年及有基础病人群的危胁。

 

目前南非的死亡率不高，但是他们是夏天，所以疫情远没有欧洲严重。

这是Premature的说法。这几个OMICORN患者年纪都很轻,低于40,症状轻理所当然.如果感染人的年记大时会怎样。没人知道

是的，需要更多的临床数据。不过，起码提示：局面不是很糟。

世界各国禁飞南非把它搞个措手不及，他们急着出来说明不太专业，可能想安抚各国 解除禁飞, 而并非有什么根据。

他们很生气，说最早报告WHO发现新变异，却遭到国际上的惩罚。

目前全球绝大部分感染群体是年轻人和小孩。

悉尼今天确认两例南非来的Omicron感染者，还有一例因为病毒含量不高需要等待确认。

他们都接种了两剂疫苗，目前都是无症状感染。

南非好像在downplay这个事，从世界各国和华尔街的反应来看，这个病毒不简单

疫情走向看未来两周

covid testing 和variant

武汉最先发现病毒也被惩罚还被诬蔑。以后谁发现新病毒闷声比较好。

弗罗里达已经经过了洗礼，轮到Michigan了。德国之类已经是历史新高，美国还没做任何准备。我早说了，这个冬天不会好过。

就是这么回事，所以南非的愤怒是可以理解的。
