How worried should we be about the new Covid variant?

The latest is the most heavily mutated version discovered so far - and it has such a long list of mutations that it waswhile another told me it was the worst variant they'd seen.

Immediately there are questions around how quickly the new variant spreads, its ability to bypass some of the protection given by vaccines and what should be done about it.The variant is called B.1.1.529 and is likely to be given a Greek code-name by the World Health Organization on Friday. "This variant did surprise us, it has a big jump on evolution [and] many more mutations that we expected," he said.

Zooming in even further to the receptor binding domain , it has 10 mutations compared to just two for the Delta variant that swept the world.A lot of mutation doesn't automatically mean: bad. It is important to know what those mutations are actually doing.

BREAKING: Chairwoman of South African Medical Association says Omicron coronavirus variant is causing 'mild disease' and 'no prominent symptoms'

Another big scare tactic right before Christmas Like literally people wake the fuck up How many more different variants are there going to be before you think Hold on something not right Let go of the fear use that brain you have it's not hard to work out that your being played

Omicron was discovered 1 year ago

Reshuffle Omicron and you get Moronic.

So the article basically says - we don’t know what to think about it, usually it’s let’s wait and see but then we can’t afford to with this , It’s too risky.. someone should do something… Wow thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen let's get ready for round shitty shit 5th. The era of biochemical war has begun. Everyone knows. Let us live the way we're living.

😂

But as the Nigerian doctor stated on BBC 24. The vaccines promised by the UK and Europe have never arrived. The manufacturers refused to supply because the UK & Europe were a priority. This has come back to haunt us now.

People will eventually stop laughing and sneering if a variant emerges that is much more dangerous and spreads more easily.

First Climate Change problem now Pandemic, what are All the Gods up there upto ? I think in next 10 years time everything will change in the ways we live, let us hope that it will be Beautiful though different.

You can get the DIY vaccine kit now, just take some virus membrane and mutate it on your own. Comes with all you need, petri dishes and two paper masks. No worries. 100% safe. Made in China. No refunds.

If only we could see the true figures covid has actually been the sole reason of deaths.

That's why they are called variants

We are Strong. So we Don't Need The Stupid Way To Control World By 'LOCKDOWN'

Spike Protein dynamics

Answer this vaccine is suppose to protect the vaccinated so how r unvaccinated a threat. Why no early proven treatment are allowed. What’s the % of recovery around 99% so how is this pandemic. Vaccine are eua so why trust them when evermectin & other work. ✋🏻 fear & junk science

'Gain of function' virus gaining functions.

Bbc just lovin the new scarient

MANDATORY VACCINATION COMING SOON!

Human extinction. How does the GOP feel about indigenous aliens taking back their planet? Just a theory I'm working on... Hey I'm not bat shit jfk trump crazy.

Absolutely worried

Honestly this world is a mess and Muslims being treated in different countries is why this world is done, Allah isn’t happy and it just needs to stop…

It is certain and historically usual...that humanity is in a struggle and race with a new epidemic that will take some time, and scientific research efforts must be intensified and continued...and the most suitable tools and means available for that battle must be determined.

I'm all for basic safety and responsibility, but I'm gonna need a bit more info than some vague descriptions

Carry on shopping online 😂

Stop fanning fear with this covid propaganda. Mainstream media should be avoided at all. No critical thinking.

Bye bye Neanderthal descendants.. We will miss you...

Don’t care. Time to get back to normal.

Get on Amazon folks. Quick delivery. 👍❤️

And strange things that this nouveaux 'scary ' virus always wants to immigrate to Europe;)))

What. A. Surprise.. Bullshit. Scaremongering. Again

Blah blah fucking blah

Chances are its spread around the world already and no one even noticed. Now back to some real news please. I'm sure you dont get paid extra for focusing only on covid! 🤔

No shit sherlock

According to scientists is South Africa its very mild so not at all

BBCLBicker Every 2 minutes, bbc a is a disgrace pushing fear to enable state control.

still not worrying

I am NOT a Covid denier. But, sadly this just feels as if it has been made up so government can continue controlling our lives.

UK Summary Last updated on Saturday 27 November 2021 at 4:39pm Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK. Deaths within 28 days of positive test. Daily 131 Total Deaths 144,724 Cases. People tested positive. Daily 39,567

We could end this now or We could allow the beginning of the deadliest pandemic known to mankind

BBCScotlandNews Not belittling this but there is new flu strains every year. That’s why the real flu vaccine is different every year.

😂😂😂when will it end

It's losing its potency. Good news.

Focus: UKWeather 🌎?

Lies lies lies 😴

The mere sight of this virus in these photos is scary enough.

Scaremongering

It causes mild disease, don’t panic Captain Mannering!

NEVER TRUST THE BIAS BROADCASTING CONSERVATIVES .

Sooo it’s just a cold then

Of course we shouldn't be worried

So what should we panic buy for this variant?

I’ve seen that name somewhere before…

very different variant every year? Or do you mean world communism

When are we going to be without the new virus? My guess is never. Better start living with it, I reckon.

Scientists say… lol the whole covid mania and governments around the world made people more averse and more sceptical to the phrase “scientists say….” than it was in Galileo times

We have just went through the process of giving as many as possible 3 jabs that won't keep us safe from the new strain.

How are the people in South Africa with the new virus. Are they more ill? Are they dying at a higher rate?

Covid is a virus that unpredictable it mutates faster. The questions should be what animals did it come from, who made for what, why does each nation has a different strength. Who decided to play GOD. As human we need to go back and look at our history. Are we own enemy. .

About as worried as the last south african variant from this time last year along with the kent variant, rinse and repeat.......

Are we having this all day today as well?

What new covid variant

Based on how this shower of a government have handled things so far the answer is Very. Next question.

Not at all

I'll answer that for you.. Not at all

Not at all These things happen so let’s get on with life

We shouldn’t be. Life goes on and this diatribe is exhausting.

The only people panicking are the media .

Depends, if we're comparing it to a volcano erupting down the park, I'm not too bad. If it's V the chance of Killer monster alien clowns from Venus moving in next door, I'm quite worried.

How worried should we be that quite a few football players where taken ill last week , could it be the jabs and where is your reports of the mass protests across Europe over these lockdowns haven't seen one on your bullshit channel yet defundBBC

Vaccine resistant, let's continue with the human experiment and mix more new vaccines shall we, so will that be another 3 jabs for this new strain plus 6 monthly shots for the existing one.

Very worried.

😱

And the major pharmaceutical companies start writing their own pay cheques again. Cough up BorisJohnsonMustGo £££££££££££s

Not in the slightest.

Another lockdown is imperative.

Stop the fear mongering , BBC.

A year ago I might have been worried, triple jabbed, 12 year old had Covid and I didn't, the amount of times this has been posted, not worried. More worried about an inept government trying to privatise the NHS!

I’m more worried about a lifetime of CNN.

Terrified.

Not worried

Not worried at all, still got plenty of plans with friends & family that aren't being cancelled restrictions or no restrictions. How much over time are you being paid to post this nonsense 24/7?

Wrong side of history…look forward to five years ahead.

How worried should we be about government response to 'the new variant'?

garethicke sajidjavid the varient in time for Christmas or the trojan varient when we stop worrying about this in time for Christmas varient

Stop scaremongering on news when you don’t really think it’s a big problem for Uk. This is why people start panicking and believing false statistics and reports.

Not at all. It’s more BS fear porn. And I’m not buying it.

Going to be 3 weeks till they know. So the Beeb cant shut up for now.

no worries, because we went through a lockdown and it brought the cure, we have a health passport that is also the cure for all evil so the new variant is just a detail and that's all with the approval of WHO .

Not in the slightest.

Didn't come from S Africa. 1st found Botswana then seen S Africa and Hong Kong. Botswana a rural country not massive population. How does this strain type start there? Natural or planted? Heavy Chinese involvement in that country but World focus not usually on it.

Always the degree of worry for the BBC, never 'none at all'. If it transpires that this COVID is not really any different from that last lot, we'll hear little about it.

Very! But easy to protect ourselves by simply wearing masks EVERYWHERE + very careful for next 3-weeks till scientists test+prove if our UK CoViD19 jabs+booster able to protect us from this variant! If not, carry on masks everywhere till new adapted booster jab in 6-months..?

I'm sure one of the twitter experts on the comments will be able to answer this question

There’s another then anther for the press to get excited about

how worried do you want us to be?

not worried at all - in July the govt decided that the pandemic was over in the UK. They can't be wrong, can they?

Not at all

It will be in the UK already as the Government yet AGAIN did not put an immediate travel ban on. They actually let the horse bolt before strolling out to close the barn door.

Be afraid pussies...

More lies...yawn

A lot less than than the propaganda spewed out by YOU

The reason why most of us do not make any beneficial remarks in forex trade and bitcoin investment is because we are quick to give up. Have you tried Miss Stella? Well if you have you won't leave or look for another, she's real stellafxjeffrey
