And just for the record, this variant has been known since at least July:

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/07/how-scientists-detect-new-covid-19-variants/

Fly, when did you first read this article ?
Did you read it in July 2021 or yesterday ?

The article spends most of its time discussing the Alpha and Delta mutations and the research and study of them.
I ask because I was reading an abc article where they quoted the SA Dr as saying she detected the Omicron mutation in early November 2021 when some peoples symptoms weren’t “classic”
I’m of the belief that the weforum.org has rehashed the July article and basically added the first 3 paragraphs to provide an updated perspective of the changes and mutations of virus, in particular Covid.

It’s a downside of the digital age… the written word can mutate faster than any virus. 🤣

The biggest concern with the Omicron strain is the press hyperbole that follows it - the media scrum is creating their own spin which almost inevitably will be far worse than the reality.   That is more dangerous than the virus itself, as it will lead to an ill-informed public that demands that the politicians do something, and we don't need knee-jerk reactions right now.

Agree on stopping flights from Africa, but let's not all crawl back into our bunkers....

Sure gather facts from your trusted news source, but the chief medical officers are the only ones anyone should be listening to, certainly not Slowmo and his mates/enemies

Who doesn’t know how what works?

My son in law’s company followed the procedures to the letter and, despite a couple of days’ exposure to their infected colleague, escaped infection.  One of the partners is severely immuno-compromised.

The only mistake they made was allowing the former anti-vaxxer to attend the workplace until he was fully vaccinated.

So that's why when the WHO are staying in motels they chain the TVs to the walls, and put bars on the windows! ;D

They don't check for variants all the time, it could have already been here for weeks hiding in plain sight given most cases are mild!I

A traveller, a migratory bird, some goods, cargo, lots and lots of ways, it might even be naturally evolving at more than one location! Perhaps the precursors were already here!

I think that the pertinent question is why wouldn't the Omicron variant in the country.  Vaccination isn't 100% proof against infection and Omicron is apparently more infectious than previous variants.  As we've seen recently, travelers to Australia from other parts of the world may have begun their journeys in southern Africa.  I'm not sure why the Commonwealth isn't requiring overseas travelers to quarantine, perhaps because we don't have the quarantine facilities we should have established at the start of the pandemic.

It seems that, while the Omicron strain is highly contagious, its symptoms are relatively mild.  This could be the virus mutating itself to the point where it's no longer a pandemic.  Here's hoping!

By the way, the suspected Omicron case in Victoria has turned out to be a false alarm.

Yes, the version of the article with several sentences added to make reference to the omicron variant was published on 26 November 2021, shortly after the South African scientists identified the new variant.

Digital authors/publishers have a responsibility to maintain and explain version control.  Failure to do so means that the unwary disseminate fake news.

Sorry to but in... Aqualung - classic. Ian Anderson, genius... and just a little dash of crazy.

Back on topic. Good to see a measure of backing off the alarmist stuff from the mainstream media on the new Covid strain. I'm trying not to be reductionist, dismissive or in denial of something that may become more nasty. But this state and its peoples are still in 'lockdown fatigue'.

Why can't you just give the real answer? Saying the fully vaccinated brought it in doesn't make you an anti vaxxer.

Why do you ask questions like this when you know the answer?

Why do we have to incorrectly blame anti vaxxers for spreading the virus?
It's not going to convince them, mocking them when they die actually has a better effect. The Herman Cain Awards have changed a few minds.

Saw a news segment yesterday on ABC where an 'expert' whose name I missed actually suggested that omicron could displace delta, which could be a good thing if it causes people to get a lot less sick even if it is more virulent.
I offer no personal opinion I hasten to add.
Reality always wins in the end.
