Kings and queens and politicians. LOL Sweden had like zero deaths this summer before any stab passport. Ranking like 60th in the world in deaths per million. With no masks no lockdowns practically nothing. Just keep lying. You have been wrong about everything - why stop now?
This is where i fall down on your description. A virus does not "want to survive", because a virus does not have will. It is not self-aware, it is not a conscious entity. We, as a self-aware species and one which can choose our own destiny, is not chained to evolutionary drives. The prime mover of survival is the universe itself, and not the individuality of simple virii. Because they do not have individuality, and personalities, and self-awareness, and consciousnesses of self. Go back to the Lucy principle...
You should really take note that Sweden only approached low deaths after they implemented restrictions broadly across society. This has been well documented.
Omicron appears to ‘evade’ some protection from COVID vaccines, Fauci says Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday said “sobering” preliminary studies show the Omicron variant of COVID-19 appears to evade some of the protection provided by vaccines. But the White House chief medical adviser added that at least booster shots appear to help increase efficacy against the variant. “The thing that’s important is that [Omicron] appears to be able to evade some of the immune protection of things like monoclonal antibodies, convalescent plasma and the antibodies that are induced by vaccines. That’s the sobering news,” Fauci told ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.” “The somewhat encouraging news is that preliminary data show that when you get a booster, for example, a third shot of an mRNA, it raises the level of protection high enough that it then does do well against the Omicron,” Fauci added.
Nope. Totally wrong. More lies from the COVid Vaccine Pope. What kind of Christmas party is your wife’s J&J division throwing this year? Probably a good one!
Some more news from South Africa... Omicron cases may already be peaking in South Africa, less than a month after the COVID-19 variant first surfaced https://fortune.com/2021/12/13/omic...th-after-the-covid-19-variant-first-surfaced/ Nearly three weeks after the Omicron variant was first identified by South African scientists, the COVID-19 mutation has whipped across the world, with infections in at least 63 countries. But in South Africa itself, the cases seem to be nearing their peak, and could already be headed for decline. Cases of Omicron in Guateng, South Africa’s most populous province and home to its biggest city, Johannesburg, rose slightly from a seven-day daily average of 9,645 last Thursday, to 10,131 on Sunday. At the same time, the positivity rate of those being tested and the number of hospitalizations have both been falling. Data from the country’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases show positivity rates dropping from 30% to around 15% between Thursday and Saturday, while the number of new hospitalizations fell from 207 to 64 over the same period. “The positivity rate in South Africa has been flattening and now declined for the past two days,” Scott Gottlieb, a senior fellow for the American Enterprise Institute and former FDA commissioner, tweeted on Sunday. This and other COVID data suggest that the infections from the COVID-19 mutation could peak during the next week before beginning to drop, says Pieter Streicher, a coronavirus analyst at the University of Johannesburg, who compared the wave of infections with case numbers from the Delta strain. “The peak is now likely to end up in the window specified,” he tweeted, marking out a period between last Friday, Dec. 10, and next Monday, Dec. 20. Streicher says the continued, albeit slow, rise in average daily cases is "most likely" the result of a reporting delay, which saw 16,716 new Omicron cases reported on Sunday, Dec. 12. This optimistic assessment is in contrast to the deep anxiety that Omicron has stoked in the U.S. and Europe, where policymakers worry that the variant might be the one scientists have dreaded since the start of the pandemic: A vaccine-resistant strain capable of infecting massive numbers of people. These worries may be overblown, at least in Streicher's reading of the situation. “A major fear in Europe seems to be the expectation that Omicron will infect up to 70% of the population,” Streicher tweeted. “Omicron will infect only 15 to 25% in South Africa, and we only have light restrictions (a curfew from 12-4am).” In Omicron’s very short history, two features seem to have emerged: First, it spreads at wildfire speed. Second, it appears less deadly than COVID-19’s original strain—perhaps because 56% of the world has now received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. A study last week of patients in the South African city of Tshwane showed that few COVID-19 patients needed ventilators, and of those that did, most had been admitted to the hospital for other health reasons. Even so, it is the lightning pace of spread that worries governments, which fear the variant could quickly become dominant among COVID-19 cases. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned on Sunday that the country faced a “tidal wave” of Omicron infections, and on Monday he confirmed that at least one person had died of the variant. Infections in the U.K. are doubling in the country every two or three days, according to epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who is on the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies. The World Health Organization warned on Monday that Omicron spreads faster than the Delta variant, and that there was still little hard facts about whether it was less deadly. “It remains unclear to what extent Omicron may be inherently less virulent,” the WHO said. But South Africa’s data shows Omicron has indeed been much less deadly there than previous COVID-19 strains—at least so far—even though only about 23% of the population is fully vaccinated. “Even if peak daily case levels exceed Delta by a factor of 3 (34,000 per day), the number of patients ending up on ventilators will only peak at 140,” said Streicher, the University of Johannesburg analyst, adding his calculation is based on a 10-day lag between people being infected and then placed on ventilators.” The number, he says, “is extremely low.” The U.S. and European Union imposed a travel ban on southern African countries within days of South Africa first reporting Omicron on Nov. 23—a move that those countries protested as unfairly punishing them for having revealed the new variant.
It should be noted however that many believe the hope that South Africa has reached a peak is premature... and the appearance of a decline is merely due to data issues.
Interesting divergence between smoothed case and deaths in S Africa with omicron circulating. Note the decline in deaths (red) with an uptick in cases (grey).
