There was an interview with a South African doctor on the national radio here in Ireland this afternoon , She was insistant all the scare mongering relating to 'Omicron' going on in this part or the world is utter bullshit , she said there simply not seeing anywhere near the numbers of deaths or serious illness from the new variant , she was cautious about the reasons for this ,but firmly pointed towards a weakening in the new variant .
I never cease to be amazed by the names people call the latest variant ,
Omicron , Omacron , Omnicron and Omnicon ,the latter might be closer to the real truth of the matter , a con job on a grand scale . Interested to hear any other misspellings in common usage also .
Incidently just because Im highly scepticle about whats going on does not mean Ive abandoned the basic precautions Ive used right from the start , facemasking in enclosed spaces ( which I did long before it was manditory) , maintaining good hand hygiene and avoiding large crowds of drunk people , I know several vaxed and boosted people in good health who let their guard down and guess what , they went down with a dose of Delta , and made a good recovery like the vast majority of people in good health would have had anyway . I strongly believe now that we shouldnt have been as greedy about trying to vax entire populations and made sure people in poorer places with poor health with bad living conditions got prioritised .
