Oslo, Norway, Christmas party

Scatec solar power company

One or two returned traveller

Had returned days earlier

120 people (all double vaccinated)

Mingled with outside groups later

70 of the 120 plus 50 others tested positive

Half tested positive for omicron

13 proven in sequencing

Dr. Tine Ravlo, Oslo, infectious diseases

They have symptoms like fever, cough, headache, muscle pain, fatigue,

but for now none of them have become severely ill and none of them have been treated in hospital

The next day, one of two employees,

recently returned from South Africa tested positive

Norway's state epidemiologist, Frode Forland

Sheer number of people infected at a single event, omicron considerably more infectious than delta

Prof Forland, Norwegian Institute of Public Health

One of three scenarios for omicron,
it would be both very mild and very transmissible

That is the hope
That is the best scenario we can have

That it's getting minder,

most people will get it,

and they will get a natural immunity

It might be that it has now replicated and mutated so many times,

that this is the optimal position from the virus' point of view,

to spread widely and not kill the hosts

That's what we've seen with other diseases beforehand.

And of course, then it gets into more like an endemic phase

Now this is not the end
Nor is it the end of the beginning
Rather it is the beginning of the end

Sally
I've had Delta, this time last year (pretty rough, took 6 months to fully recover) and I have Omicron now. The symptoms of Omicron are as you state. I am vaccinated.

Helgard
Living in SA (Gauteng) and have tested (+) 2 days ago, The symptoms is 100% correct as stated. Also after 1st symptoms, 3 days after i don't even know that i was sick.

Body and muscle aches and pains

Headache

Tiredness (1 to 2 days)

Slight sore throat

No severe cough

No runny nose

from pandemic to endemic where this becomes a more regular infection like flu over time

This virus has mutated a lot, quickly and that is sort of what you would expect at this stage

the good news is that, so far, it looks as though when you get very high antibody levels with the booster vaccine it's definitely having some effect against it in the laboratory studies

Thanks to you ! It's prolly your filthy unvaccinated @$$'s Natural Immunity that had countered the virus and causes it to scale down it's fatality into infectiousness instead to survive Naturally just like a common seasonal flu, not saying that it is not it all along lol...........

Meanwhile, HOLD YOUR HORSE there's good news for Vaxxers too ! Wooohoooo.......... so happy for y'all ! BOOSTERS ~~ ! :

Pfizer CEO says fourth Covid vaccine doses may be needed sooner than expected due to omicron​

PUBLISHED WED, DEC 8 202112:06 PM ESTUPDATED WED, DEC 8 20211:51 PM EST

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/08/omi...covid-vaccine-doses-sooner-than-expected.html

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech.

Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.




Bourla noted that a preliminary study by the company was based on a synthetic, lab-created copy of the variant and more data is needed from tests against the real virus. Those real-world results will be more accurate and are expected in the next two weeks, the Pfizer CEO said.

“When we see real-world data, will determine if the omicron is well covered by the third dose and for how long. And the second point, I think we will need a fourth dose,” Bourla told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed 12 months after the third dose. “With omicron we need to wait and see because we have very little information. We may need it faster,” he said.

The Pfizer CEO said what’s most important right now is to roll out third doses for the winter. Public health officials are worried about a spike in Covid infections as people gather more indoors to escape the cold.

“A third dose will give very good protection I believe,” Bourla said. He also said that treatments such as Pfizer’s oral antiviral pill, Paxlovid, will help prevent hospitalizations and control Covid during the winter.


Pfizer submitted its application to the Food and Drug Administration last month for emergency authorization of the pill. Bourla told CNBC on Wednesday that Pfizer will have the full results from clinical trials in days, and he expects the pill to demonstrate an 89% reduction in hospitalization and death as it did in interim data last month.

The Pfizer CEO said the company has already shipped pills to the U.S. and can begin rolling out the product this month if the FDA approves it for emergency use. President Joe Biden said last month that the U.S. has bought 10 million courses with delivery slated to start by year-end.




Bourla said he’s confident the Pfizer pill will remain effective against omicron, because it targets a different part of the virus, an enzyme used for replication, that is not as susceptible to mutations. The vaccines target the spike protein that the virus uses to invade human cells. The spike protein has mutated repeatedly over the course of the pandemic.

Pfizer and BioNTech can develop a vaccine that specifically targets omicron by March 2022 should that prove necessary, Bourla said. He said he anticipates new variants to emerge in the future, and the company is monitoring to see if vaccine adjustments are needed.

Europe’s biggest omicron outbreak ‘appears mild’, say Norway Covid experts

Two employees of solar power company who attended a party after which 120 guests tested positive had returned from South Africa
By Richard Orange in Malmo 7 December 2021 • 10:29am

The omicron outbreak at an Oslo Christmas party seen as "the biggest in the world outside South Africa" is so far only causing mild disease, with Norway's state epidemiologist expressing hope that it might mark the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

As many as 120 people who attended the Louise Restaurant and Bar on the night of Nov 26 tested positive for Covid. Around half of those have screened positive for omicron, with 13 proven to have the variant in sequencing.

"They have symptoms like fever, cough, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, but for now none of them have become severely ill and none of them have been treated in hospital," Tine Ravlo, an Oslo infectious diseases doctor, told The Telegraph.

Scatec, a solar power company, booked the biggest room at the restaurant, on the Oslo waterfront, for a "Julebord" Christmas supper on the same day omicron was named and designated a "variant of concern".

The company's 120 employees enjoyed a traditional Norwegian Christmas meal. For most of the evening they were isolated in their own room, but according to Joppe Gjelseth, who owns the restaurant with his brother, they began to mingle with other guests after 11.30pm until the nightclub closed at 3am in the morning.

The next day, one of two Scatec employees who had recently returned from South Africa tested positive. When others got tested over the coming days, 70 of the 120 at the party turned out to have the virus, together with 50 other guests at the restaurant.

Norway's state epidemiologist, Frode Forland, said the sheer number of people infected at a single event added to evidence that omicron was considerably more infectious than the delta variant.

"We don't know if it will be more transmissible, but we suspect that is the case after the first investigations we have from South Africa, and also the spread we've from this outbreak in Oslo," the told The Telegraph.

Dr Ravlo said Oslo had had few restrictions at the time the party took place, and while Norway had imposed quarantine on newly arriving travellers from South Africa that day, the two executives believed to have brought in the infection had arrived days earlier.

The company went beyond what was necessary by insisting everyone who attended the event was double vaccinated and everyone took an antigen test, she said, adding: "At that time, we didn't really have that many restrictions in Oslo, so they followed the rules."

Prof Forland, director of infectious diseases at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, said one of his agency's three scenarios for omicron was that it would be both very mild and very transmissible.

"That is the hope. That is the best scenario we can have," he said. "That it's getting minder, most people will get it, and they will get a natural immunity."

If that were the case, it may mark the beginning of the end for the Covid pandemic, he said, adding: "It might be that it has now replicated and mutated so many times that this is the optimal position from the virus' point of view, to spread widely and not kill the hosts.

"That's what we've seen with other diseases beforehand. And of course, then it gets into more like an endemic phase."

Apparently C19 may have pushed Influenza B Yamagata lineage off the global stage. Win win!

if you don't die from covid, you would die from too much covid vaccine doses.
