TO ALL THE GLOVE LOVERS...

YOU SHOULD HAVE ALL COME TO THE REALISATION THAT JPMORGAN HAS BEEN RIGHT ON GLOVES

ON 11 DEC 2020 JPM GAVE TOPGLOVE A TARGET PRICE OF RM3.50

TOPGLOVE SHARE PRICE THEN WAS RM6.90

ALONG THE WAY, JPMORGAN HAS CONTINUED TO DOWNGRADE TG

TODAY TOPGLOV IS RM2.81


NOW JPMORGAN SAYS BUY THE OMICRON DIP

"While it is likely that Omicron is more transmissible, early reports suggest it may also be less deadly, which would fit into the pattern of virus evolution observed historically, strategists Marko Kolanovic and Bram Kaplan wrote in a note on Wednesday (Dec 1). This might ultimately be a positive for risk markets because it could signal that the end of the pandemic is in sight, they said.

"Omicron could be a catalyst for steepening (not flattening) the yield curve, rotation from growth to value, sell-off in Covid-19 and lockdown beneficiaries and rally in reopening themes," the strategists said. "We view the recent sell-off in these segments as an opportunity to buy the dip in cyclicals, commodities and reopening themes, and to position for higher bond yields and steepening.

It would fit with historical patterns for a less severe and more transmissible virus to quickly crowd out more severe variants, which could turn Omicron into a catalyst to transform a deadly pandemic into something more akin to seasonal flu, the JPMorgan strategists wrote."

Covid-19 update: 106 new community cases reported in New Zealand today

The number of new Covid-19 cases has risen back into triple figures, with 106 new community cases reported in New Zealand today.In a statement, the Ministry of Health said there were 77 people in hospital with the coronavirus, with seven in intensive care.

There were new cases reported in Northland (3), Auckland (93), Waikato (8), Whanganui (1) and Canterbury (1).

The three new cases in Northland include two who are close contacts of previously reported cases in Kaitaia, and have already been isolating.

The third case is an essential worker based in Whangārei, who regularly travels to Auckland for work. They were picked up through routine surveillance testing.

The eight new cases in Waikato include two in Hamilton, two in Te Kūiti, three in Piopio (near Te Kūiti) and one in Huntly. Seven of the cases have been linked to previous cases.

Whanganui District Health Board confirmed its first case of Covid-19 in the current Delta outbreak last night.

The Ministry said today it appeared the case recently travelled out of the city and is likely to have links to previously reported cases outside the region.

They became symptomatic on Thursday and were tested on Friday before receiving their result yesterday. The person has been isolating in a dedicated community facility.

The Ministry said a number of locations of interest have already been released today and more are expected this afternoon on the Ministry's webpage.

The one new case added to today's tally was revealed yesterday and has been clearly linked to other cases in the Nelson-Tasman area.

The Canterbury DHB said that as soon as the person learned of their contact, they got a test and had been isolating at home since that time.

"The person's prompt actions have reduced the chances of further spread and underline the importance of getting a test immediately if you have been to a location of interest, are identified as a contact or possible contact of a case, or if you have any cold or flu-like symptoms."

Two other cases in Canterbury will be added to tomorrow's tally. They include a young child from the same household as yesterday's case and another close contact of yesterday's case.

There were also two cases in managed isolation reported today, one from Ireland and one from England.

There were 98 new community cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand yesterday, with cases in Auckland, Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Nelson Tasman and Canterbury. There were 92 new cases on Friday, the first time it was in double digits in more than a month.

There have now been 9037 cases of Covid-19 in the current community outbreak and 11,825 since the pandemic began.

The Ministry said 67 of today's new cases are yet to be linked.
Vaccine update

The Ministry said two DHBs - Auckland and Capital & Coast - have now reached the milestone of 90 percent of their eligible Māori population having had their first vaccination.

"This is closely followed by four other DHBs - Waitemata, MidCentral, Hutt Valley and Wairarapa DHBs, all with eligible Māori population vaccination rates at or above 87 percent for first vaccinations.

"We continue to close in on the 90 percent vaccination milestone with 88 percent of the total eligible population nationwide (aged 12 and over) now fully vaccinated."

There were 26,957 vaccine doses given yesterday: 5636 first doses; 13,998 second doses; 253 third primary doses; and 7070 booster doses.

"If you are not vaccinated, now is the time, as vaccination is number one defence against Covid-19. Your DHB or local health provider will have plenty of opportunities to make this happen."

Coronavirus Highlights: India's Fourth Omicron Case Detected Near Mumbai


Coronavirus Highlights: According to a government note, the patient is a resident of the Kalyan-Dombivali municipal area and had not taken any COVID-19 vaccine.


New Delhi:

A 33-year-old man from Maharashtra who travelled to Mumbai from South Africa via Dubai and Delhi late last month has tested positive for the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, in the fourth such case confirmed in India. According to a government note, the patient is a resident of the Kalyan-Dombivali municipal area and had not taken any COVID-19 vaccine.

India's first two reported 'Omicron' cases were detected in Karnataka. The new strain of the virus has triggered a global alarm with several countries announcing restrictions to arrest the spread of the 'Variant of Concern', declared by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

India also logged a daily spike of 8,603 Covid cases on Saturday, taking the total tally of COVID-19 cases to 3,46,24,360. The country further recorded 415 new deaths, pushing the total death count to 4,70,530.

The active cases increased to 99,974, according to the latest Health Ministry data.

Coronavirus digest: German vaccine body says omicron jab update will take 'months'


The head of Germany's top vaccine body has said vaccine manufacturers would likely need a few months before they could create a vaccine for the omicron variant. DW has the latest.

The head of Germany's Standing Committee on Vaccination (StiKo), Thomas Mertens, said he did not expect possible new vaccines against the omicron variant of the coronavirus for months, according to a report on Saturday.

Mertens said it was entirely possible that a new vaccine would be needed to be effective against the omicron variant.

"Omicron has many changes to the spike protein, which could make it harder for antibodies to fight the virus," he told the Düsseldorf-based newspaper Rheinische Post.

"Three to six months is likely to be needed by the manufacturers in the laboratory. That's not trivial — they have to create a vaccine that works against omicron and delta because delta is still widespread," he said.

Mertens also urged people to get booster shots despite a possible new vaccine.

"Boosters are definitely worth it. The fight against the delta variant continues," he said. "And it would be no problem to get revaccinated a few months after the booster vaccination to protect against omicron if necessary." Germany has reported 64,510 new infections in the last 24 hours, while 378 more people died due to the coronavirus, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). The new figures take the country's total cases to more than 6.1 million, with at least 102,946 fatalities.

The seven-day incidence rose slightly to 442.7 from 442.1 the previous day, RKI reported.

Meanwhile, outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel made what may well be her final appeal for people to get vaccinated, before leaving office.

In a video address Merkel called on Germans to get their vaccinations. “Get vaccinated, no matter whether it's a first vaccination or a booster,'' Merkel said. “Every vaccination helps.”

Merkel also lamented the loss of life as the country recorded another 378 deaths in a 24 hour period. "Every one of them leaves behind families or friends, stunned, speechless and helpless," the outgoing chancellor said. "This is so bitter because it is avoidable. With the effective and safe vaccines, we have the key to this in our hands."

Here are some more coronavirus headlines from around the world:
Europe

Police in Vienna, Austria, said "over 40,000" people took part in demonstrations against government plans to make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory and enforce a partial lockdown until November 22.

Police said the march turned violent when some protesters threw "pyrotechnic objects" at officers, who responded with pepper spray. Police arrested some people for public order offenses.

About 1,500 people held a counterdemonstration against the main protest, police said.

A dentist in Italy who tried to get a vaccination using a fake silicon arm could face criminal charges of fraud, authorities said.

A nurse in the north Italian city of Biella discovered the phony limb as she was about to give the man the injection.

"I understood immediately that the man was trying to avoid the vaccination by using a silicone prosthetic, into which he hoped that I would inject the drug," said the nurse, Filippa Bua.

Italy will require the vaccine pass to enter restaurants, cinemas and theaters from Monday.
Africa

In South Africa the Deputy Health Minister Sibongiseni Dhlomo confirmed that the country was in its fourth wave.

Dhlomo also said that just 2 percent of hospital admissions were among those who had received jabs. "A whopping 98 percent were not vaccinated," he said.

As the country that first identified and alerted the world to the new threat, the next few weeks will be crucial in understanding the level of threat it presents.

While there has been a rise in children being admitted to hospital for COVID-19, an official at one hospital near the capital city Pretoria, said infections have so far been mild.

Its unclear exactly which variant the children are infected with, but its suspected omicron may be driving the country’s fourth wave.

Ntsakisi Maluleke, a public health specialist in the Gauteng province told Reuters news agency that out of 1,511 COVID-19 patients, 113 were under the age of nine, representing a higher proportion than seen in previous waves: "We are comforted by clinicians' reports that the children have mild disease.”

Scientists are still trying to determine what is causing illness in younger age groups.

BREAKING NEWS: Covid silver lining: ‘Extremely mild’ Omicron variant is rapidly exterminating much more deadly Delta coronavirus mutation

SATURDAY 04 DECEMBER 2021 3:47 PM

Delta displacement in full swing
Infections in South Africa have started to rise rapidly in recent days, a sign that displacement of the lethal Delta variant is in full swing, according to Adrian Puren, the acting executive director of South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD).

“What will outcompete Delta? That has always been the question, in terms of transmissibility at least, … perhaps this particular variant is the variant,” Puren told Reuters in an interview earlier this week.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said there is early evidence to suggest Omicron has an “increased risk of reinfection” and its rapid spread in South Africa suggests it has a “growth advantage” compared to Delta.

Therefore, virologist Marc van Ranst pointed out that “if the omicron variant is less pathogenic but with greater infectivity, allowing Omicron to replace Delta, this would be very positive.”

In fact, Omicron could turn out to be “a storm in a teacup” and may blow over within a few weeks, according to a former head of the British government’s vaccine task force.

Travel restrictions by country following the Omicron variant outbreak

(CNN) — Just as many countries around the world were beginning to loosen their border restrictions, reports of a newly detected coronavirus variant in South Africa sent many of those doors slamming shut again.

The new B.1.1.529 variant was named Omicron by the World Health Organization on November 26.

Different countries and territories have taken different approaches toward preventing the spread of this new variant.

Full summary in the first few minutes of this video, its good news examination of the 166 patients admitted since the Omicron variant arrived

snapshot of the clinical profile of 42 patients currently in the COVID wards at SB

The majority of hospital admissions are for diagnoses unrelated to COVID-19.

The SARS-CoV-2 positivity is an incidental finding in these patients and is largely driven by hospital policy requiring testing of all patients requiring admission to the hospital.

76% of patients are incidental COVID admissions.

This very unusual picture is also occurring at other hospitals in Gauteng.

The high proportion of COVID incidental admissions may reflect higher rates of community transmission compared to previous waves (variants)

That is not translating into higher admission rates for a primary COVID-19 diagnosis.

Omicron variant: Cathay Pacific cancels 23 more Hong Kong flights, as airlines brace for tougher Covid-19 rules

Cathay Pacific has cancelled a third of its Friday flights amid the fallout over Hong Kong’s planned tightening of aircrew rules to prevent the Omicron coronavirus variant seeping into the community.

According to live flight data, 23 Cathay services had been axed out of the 67 scheduled to depart Hong Kong International Airport, as of 1.30pm. None of its cargo flights were affected.

On Thursday, the Hong Kong flag carrier withdrew 28 out of 61 planned passenger flights and five out of 15 cargo-only services.

Do you have questions about the biggest topics and trends from around the world? Get the answers with SCMP Knowledge, our new platform of curated content with explainers, FAQs, analyses and infographics brought to you by our award-winning team.

The wave of cancellations follows the government moving a host of countries into the highest-risk Group A category for inbound travel in response to fears over Omicron, the potentially more transmissible coronavirus variant first detected in southern Africa. Travellers and aircrew arriving from those places must undergo 21 and 14 days of quarantine on arrival respectively.

Singapore could be the next destination to be elevated into the high-risk category after the detection of two preliminary-positive Omicron cases there on Thursday.

The short-term cancellations come on top of the airline’s intention to this month cancel up to a third of its closed-loop inbound flights and return the aircraft to Hong Kong only loaded with cargo.

It is understood that most of the passengers affected by Thursday and Friday’s cancellations were shifted onto other same-day flights.

Omicron variant found in nearly one-third of U.S. states

WASHINGTON (Dec 6): The Omicron variant of the coronavirus has spread to about one-third of U.S. states, but the Delta version remains the majority of COVID-19 infections as cases rise nationwide, U.S. health officials said on Sunday.

Though the emergence of the new variant has caused alarm worldwide, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease official, told CNN "thus far it does not look like there's a great degree of severity to it" but he added that it was too early to draw definitive conclusions and more study is needed.

Fauci, U.S. President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, said he also hoped the United States would lift its ban on travelers from southern African countries in a "reasonable period of time." The South African government has complained it is being punished - instead of applauded - for discovering the new variant and quickly informing international health officials.

Fauci, in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," praised South Africa for its transparency and said the U.S. travel ban was imposed at a time "when we were really in the dark" and needed time to study the variant.

At least 16 U.S. states have reported Omicron cases: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin, according to a Reuters tally.

Many of the cases were among fully vaccinated individuals with mild symptoms, although the booster shot status of some patients was not reported.

Despite several dozen Omicron cases, the Delta variant still accounts for 99.9% of new COVID cases in the United States, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told ABC News in an interview.

"We are everyday hearing about more and more probable cases so that number is likely to rise," she said.

The United States over the last seven days has averaged 119,000 new cases a day and lost nearly 1,300 lives to COVID each day, according to a Reuters tally https://tmsnrt.rs/3xYOdI4.

Louisiana currently has one Omicron case from an individual who traveled within the United States, its health department said on Sunday.

On Saturday, it said a Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd cruise ship set to dock in New Orleans with more than 3,000 passengers found 10 cases of COVID-19 on board. Officials said passengers on the Norwegian Breakaway, which stopped in Belize, Honduras and Mexico, would be tested and given the CDC's post-exposure and quarantine guidelines.

Governors of two other states with reported Omicron cases -- Connecticut and Colorado -- said they hoped their higher-than-average vaccination rates would blunt the impact.

"We want to see how well the vaccinations hold up," Colorado's Jared Polis told ABC.

As U.S. Omicron cases emerge, COVID-19 vaccine makers aim to quickly tweak their shots to target the variant and U.S. regulators have vowed speedy reviews, but that could still take months.

"Certainly, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) will move swiftly and CDC will move swiftly," Walensky said.

Moderna Inc has targeted U.S. approval of an updated vaccine as soon as March, but company officials on Sunday said it will still take time to increase output.

Moderna Co-founder and Chairman Noubar Afeyan told CNN it would take another seven to 10 days to gather key data. Then, it "will take a good 60 to 100 days" to deploy an Omicron-specific shot, although other options like a higher dose of the current booster are being explored, he said.

U.S. government officials are also working with Pfizer Inc and Johnson & Johnson on updated shots, while Pfizer and Merck & Co Inc are pursuing COVID-19 pill treatments.

@YellowLion9117:

Apparently, no Omicron positive patient has so far ended up in the hospital, let alone died.

Anecdotal evidence from doctors treating it in Africa, Europe and Asia is that patients are either asymptomatic or the symptoms are much milder than the Delta variant.

If that is the case (a big IF), Omicron may paradoxically start the end of the pandemic by replacing Delta with a strain, yes, more contagious but way less lethal. In that, its alleged higher transmission rate would be an advantage.

Either way, the hysterical and panicked reactions that we see everywhere are completely misplaced and unwarranted. One has to be cautious while remaining rational.

Needless to say, the press coverage worldwide has been shameless. Don't let them take you for a ride - stay calm, get information from trusted sources and carry on with your life.
