Omicron may have peaked or ‘plateaued’ in parts of the world, giving experts cause for optimism PUBLISHED WED, JAN 5 20224:29 AM ESTUPDATED AN HOUR AGO
KEY POINTS In a matter of weeks, the Covid omicron variant that was first detected in November has surged around the world. There are early, tentative signs that the omicron wave has peaked, or is plateauing, in the places that were among the first to be hit hard by the strain. The U.S. and Europe have been rolling out booster shots as fast as they can following research that the extra doses significantly increase the level of protection against the variant.

Gallo Images | Gallo Images | Getty Images In a matter of weeks, the Covid-19 omicron variant — first detected in South Africa and Botswana in November — has surged around the world, leading to millions of new cases and the reimposition of coronavirus restrictions in many countries.
The U.S. and Europe have been rolling out booster shots as fast as they can following research findings by Covid vaccine makers Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna that the omicron variant undermines the effectiveness of the standard two doses of their Covid shots, but that booster shots significantly increase the level of protection against the strain.
Nonetheless, cases in both regions have soared, with the U.S. reporting more than 1 million new daily Covid cases on Monday, and the U.K. and France also among those reporting staggering numbers of daily infections, upward of 200,000 a day in recent tallies. Hospitalizations are also steadily rising in affected countries, although admissions and deaths remain far below previous peaks.
As well as an increasing body of evidence suggesting that omicron causes less serious disease than its predecessors, experts are cautiously optimistic that while the omicron wave is proving to be sharper than those associated with previous variants, it could also be shorter.
South Africa believes its omicron wave has peaked, for example, and London — where omicron cases surged in December before the variant really took hold in the rest of Europe — may be seeing cases starting to plateau, according to experts, fueling hope that the wave could soon peak elsewhere, too.
Omicron ‘may have passed the peak’ South Africa’s government issued a statement on Dec. 30 in which it said that the country’s Department of Health had reported a 29.7% decprease in the number of new cases detected in the week ended Dec. 25 (89,781 cases), compared with the number of new cases detected in the previous week (127,753).
“All indicators suggest the country may have passed the peak of the fourth wave at a national level,” the statement said, with cases declining in all provinces except the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, which recorded increases of 14% and 18%, respectively.
Nonetheless, there has been a decline in hospital admissions in all provinces except the Western Cape, the statement added, noting that admissions had been generally lower with the omicron variant.
“While the omicron variant is highly transmissible, there has been lower rates of hospitalisation than in previous waves. This means that the country has a spare capacity for admission of patients even for routine health services. There is a marginal increase in the number of deaths in all the provinces.”
‘Flash flood’ of infections Global experts have been watching South Africa’s Covid data closely, as it was among the first countries to detect the omicron variant and to alert the World Health Organization, which designated the heavily mutated strain a “variant of concern” on Nov. 26.
Real-world studies from South Africa and the U.K. suggest that people infected with omicron develop milder illness compared with the previously globally dominant delta variant. Omicron is far more transmissible, however, meaning that a larger number of cases could translate into more pressure on health services.
When omicron was first detected by doctors in South Africa, they observed that their patients appeared to be experiencing milder illnesses more akin to a cold than the flu, symptoms of which were associated with earlier strains of Covid. South African doctors also found that most people hospitalized with omicron had been admitted to the hospital for other reasons and did not require oxygen.
Another study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases on Dec. 28 suggested that the omicron wave of hospital admissions in Tshwane (a city in South Africa’s Gauteng province where omicron cases surged in December) had peaked “within 4 weeks of its commencement. Ho

@SSP888....Wow, your good friend making strong come back....haha :p -----------------------------------------------------------
Tao Kay stkoay ho sey bo? I have been in good form for those months that I disappeared. Spotted GentB bottomed at 4.50+ twice and this time at again at 4.40. Feels good to be trading well. To be "trading in the zone".
I think posting less on social media or totally avoiding it is definitely much better for my trading performance. New badminton world champion Loh Kean Yew doesnt take phone calls from home or use social media during his tournament seasons.
Stock trading is a very serious endeavour. A zero-sum game where bullish and bearish market participants (gladiators) battle out against each other. One careless mistake will lose money (kena slash and wound). Need full focus and serious attitude especially when milions are on the line.

Singapore may have no choice but to tighten measures if COVID-19 spread amplified by 'unnecessary' risks: Lawrence Wong
SINGAPORE: Singapore may have no choice but to tighten measures if COVID-19 transmission is amplified by "unnecessary" risks and the healthcare system is overwhelmed, said multi-ministry task force co-chair Lawrence Wong on Wednesday (Jan 5).
Speaking at a COVID-19 multi-ministry task force news conference, Mr Wong stressed the importance of Singaporeans adhering to safe management measures amid an expected rise in cases due to the Omicron variant.

What we know so far about IHU COVID-19 variant symptoms
Scientists and experts in France are keeping their eyes on the new IHU COVID-19 variant that has emerged in recent days.
The new variant — called the IHU variant because it was found by academics at the institute IHU Mediterranee Infection — has been linked to 12 cases near Marseilles, France, according to Business Insider.
The variant — with the scientific name B.1.640.2 — reportedly has 46 mutations in an “atypical combination,” according to researchers.

Covid in Hong Kong: Here’s a list of everything that will be shut down starting tomorrow
Hong Kong will be re-imposing strict Covid-19 measures from Friday as the city is bracing for the spread of the highly infectious omicron outbreak.
“We are facing a very dire situation of a major community outbreak any time, and that’s why we have to take very decisive measures,” Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Wednesday.
Hong Kong recorded 38 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, and has 12,708 confirmed cases so far, according to a government website.
HK covid policy is zero covid.......not sustainable.....and realistic, need to quote countries who are dealing to live with infections, most people have very mild, symptoms such it is even less of an issue than flu in European countries and US who have a severe flu epidemic every winter. In UK flu accounts for 45000 excess deaths between Nov and February! I keep repeating, it is in the interest of certain countries to alarm weak countries, we know who are the financial winners....from pedaling doom and gloom.
China and HK have a ZERO CV policy totally unrealistic, it is not the infections numbers but excess deaths that matter! We need to get real!! Particularily, those who want to live like hermits and don't realise they are dead any way!

A BRILLIANT JAPANESE STUDENT IN AN AMERICAN CLASSROOM - adapted
It was the first day of school and a new student named Hideo, the son of a Japanese businessman, entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history."
Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death?" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Hideo, who had his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775." he said.
"Very good! Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'"? Again, no response except from Hideo:
"Abraham Lincoln, 1863.", said Hideo
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Hideo, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "F-k the Japanese."
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Hideo put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, 1982."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."
The teacher glares and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Hideo says, "George Bush, to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Hideo jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now, with almost a mob hysteria, someone said, "You little sh1t, if you ever say anymore stoopid things again, you will be sent to Tanjung Rambutan."
Hideo yells at the top of his voice, "Every sane person to pearlblack - delisting of Serba Dinamik, 2022." .
Always do home work to check on ppl historical posts....if they were credible then can pay some attention...if they were not, then quickly do the opposite of what he recommends.....haha :p
