It’s the new Covid-19 variant that has put the world on edge, and a doctor treating some of the first patients discovered some rather strange symptoms.

B.1.1.529, said the symptoms are usually “mild” in healthy people.Dr Coetzee believed she’d found a new strain of the virus when she began noticing Covid-19 patients at her practice in Pretoria were showing strange symptoms.Telegraph.Dr Coetzee, who has been practising for 30 years and is chair of the South African Medical Association , said she called South Africa’s vaccine advisory committee on November 18 after a family of four with extreme fatigue tested positive to the virus.

“So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough.None of her patients lost their sense of taste or smell.“We had one very interesting case, a kid, about six years old, with a temperature and a very high pulse rate, and I wondered if I should admit her,” Dr Coetzee says.She is concerned about how the elderly and those with co-morbidities will be affected by the new strain.

NSW Health has confirmed urgent genomic testing undertaken on Sunday shows two overseas travellers have been infected with the new Omicron B.1.1.529 Covid-19 variant of concern. The two passengers were among 14 people from southern Africa who arrived on Qatar Airways QR908, Doha to Sydney, which arrived around 7pm on Saturday November 27.

The UN health agency said it could take several weeks to complete studies of the variant to see if there are any changes in transmissibility, tests and treatments.

Lol this was the first article I've read about the new variant & she's saying a 6 year old was sick for 3 days before getting better 🤦 didn't bother reading the rest of the crap after that. Idiots with their new variants every few weeks so we can go back into lockdown for life.

we need to lock victoria down

So it’s milder end of story can we stop the drama now?

NSW have it so the rest of Australia will quickly be intimate with all it's symptoms... Ruby Princess - FAIL Delta of the North Shore - FAIL Omicron -🤔

as the same doc says, storm in a tea cup

Depends if you are optimist or pessimist which to believe Let's see how Dan Andrews gets the blame for this one!
