Omikronvariant corona zorgt voor minder langdurige klachten dan voorganger

Een op de tien mensen die besmet zijn geraakt met de omikronvariant van het coronavirus heeft na drie maanden nog steeds klachten. Dat aandeel is bijna twee keer zo laag als na een besmetting met de deltavariant van het virus.

> #RichNations.. hoarded vaccines for many months, and the consequences are now visible.. - recent data show that more than 1 billion #Covid vaccine jabs have been wasted. Millions of lives could have been saved, if these doses had been shared last year, when the #DeltaVariant killed millions of people. I cannot forget the ferocity and brutality of the Delta surge that killed millions in #India last year. India was a dire warning to the world and we ignored the warning.

How Many Variants And Deaths Are We Willing To Accept, Before We Protect The Whole World?

Millions of people worldwide are getting infected or re-infected with highly transmissible Omicron subvariants. And yet millions of people in low and middle-income nations are still lacking access to vaccines and tools. World leaders have failed to unite against the virus.

‘Next to Impossible to Escape’: Omicron Is Like Nothing We've Seen Before

The United States is shattering new case records, and that's almost certainly an undercount.

On the face of it, it seems that we have been fortunate with the #OmicronVariant of the #Coronavirus in that it seems to be less lethal than the last major one, the #DeltaVariant. However, the more it is allowed to circulate amongst the population, particularly the unvaccinated, the more generations it will go through and the more chances it will get to mutate into a form which both evade contemporary treatments and is more deadly.

Really — the leaders of the most powerful nation on Earth, with a metric buttload of information and resources at their disposal, didn't see the latest'n'greatest Covid variant coming? Y'mean, they couldn't get hold of somebody at the WHO, the CDC, the NIH, the Salk Institute who actually knew a thing or two about virology who could've thrown them a heads-up?
