JOHANNESBURG: The omicron variant of coronavirus can help build herd immunity in societies due to its high transmissibility, South African virologists said on Thursday (Jan 13).
With milder symptoms and lower mortality rates, omicron differs from other strains, according to scientific data gathered over 50 days period after the variant was detected in South Africa and Botswana.
Gert Van Zyl, a professor at the Department of Medical Virology of Stellenbosch University, told Anadolu Agency that omicron was less deadly than other variants as it caused milder symptoms.
Due to its high transmissibility, it could help build herd immunity as it is has been observed in people who previously recovered from the coronavirus, as well as those who had been vaccinated, it quoting Zyl said.
@Goldgent , the impression that what happened to the shipbuilding companies bankruptcy and it’s collateral damage to Genting HK is of “not at risk” or “no direct impact” to Genting Berhad just because it does not directly own any shares in Genting HK is far too innocuous. It is still early days and the situation is still fluid but bankruptcy and a rapidly declining Genting HK share price is not to be taken lightly. If things get worse at Genting HK, then it would definitely impact and be very risky for Genting Berhad itself because of the 550 million shares pledged by Lim Kok Thay as collateral to save Genting HK in August 2020.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....

It is very hard to purely trade based on charts
