@divegeester saidI already did. It is false reporting.
Anyone want to address the point in the OP?

@shavixmir saidThe first post after the OP to be exact.
Sky news isn’t reporting very accurately.
https://www.who.int/news/item/28-11-2021-update-on-omicron
The WHO has labelled it a variant of concern. It may be transmitted more easily than other variants, it has lots of mutations and for the rest more research is needed.
@divegeester
Biden called it “Omnicron". Shame on everyone for disrespecting our great, intelligent president by mispronouncing it as “Omicron"
I watched the corporate news and the headline was literally "Sounding the Alarm" for the omicron variant. More fear propaganda.
Nobody knows if the gene vaccines are effective at all against the omicron variant. That doesn't stop Fauci and others from giving their opinion that it does or mostly does though.
Opinions are not science. That is called a "guess".
Nobody in the news media will call Fauci on it and ask him if it is his personal "guess". They want to keep their jobs.

@divegeester saidOne of the main takeaways from the op is probably don’t rely on Sky news for important info. Everything we are hearing about this variant is saying that it is more transmissible but anecdotal evidence seems to be pointing to less severe symptoms.
Anyone want to address the point in the OP?
The point is that it wasn’t WHO that advised countries like the UK to unilaterally ban people from Southern Africa from entering their countries.
Given that it has twice the number of mutations as the Delta variant it’s probably not unreasonable to assume the worst case scenario and act accordingly.

@jimm619 saidThanks for stating what we all already know.
Thought I did....New variants
may be more transmittable
simply because;
There's no 'natural resistance''
and they (new virus) may ave defeated vaccine immunology.
There is a point in my OP, if you can’t figure it out I’m afraid this thread I may not be for you.

@kmax87 saidOh dear. The question is this..
Because maybe they have scientists who are plugged into a larger scientific community and the mutated virus, once identified and modeled suggests a problem for human physiology. I would argue that the scientific community are dealing with Covid on a rolling 24/7 basis, and have no doubt been spitballing the dangers that could arise if the virus started to mutate in a particula ...[text shortened]... e and probably have a strong sense of how a trend in mutation might make the virus more devastating.
How can the WHO be making proclamations about how dangerous this variant is, and at the same time be saying it’s only been reported a week and it will be a few more weeks until we know enough about it?
There have been scientists all over the media today saying we don’t know enough about it.

@shavixmir saidNo I watched the head of the WHO say it at a podium. Last night with my own eyes.
I already did. It is false reporting.

@kevcvs57 saidI watched the President of WHO on TV at a podium saying it.

It then cut to the studio where other scientists were saying it’s only a week we don’t know anything about it.
The President of WHO was lying. I saw it with my own eyes.
