They are two types of virus-so the chance they will merge is very, very small.
(read a lot about these two virus earlier today on CDC and other pages)

One of the world's most remote workplaces - a Belgian scientific research station in Antarctica - has been hit with an outbreak of Covid. Since 14 December, at least 16 of the 25 workers at the Princess Elisabeth Polar Station have caught the virus. All are fully vaccinated and officials say cases remain mild so far. Every resident was offered the chance to leave on a scheduled flight in two weeks' time, but chose to stay and continue their work.

And so it begins! One by one, they start dissappearing. Obscure shadows haunt the lonely tunnels, and somebody desperately tries to find the number of John Carpenter to ask him what they now can do to escape their final doom... Was that a strange hizzing sound over there? A crawlign tentacle? And where does all this strange slobber on the floor come from?



We soon will not know...

Nothing in the current Covid data suggests further restrictions are needed in England, education secretary Nadhim Zahawi tells the BBC

Even though Omicron infections are moving into older age groups, most over-50s have had a booster jab, he adds.

There are nearly 12,000 people in UK hospitals with Covid but the number needing intensive care is stable, say NHS bosses.

A hospital trust in Lincolnshire has declared a critical incident due to Covid-related staff absences.

Meanwhile all secondary school pupils in England will be tested for Covid before returning to classrooms this week.

They will also have to wear masks in classrooms, which Zahawi said was "not ideal" but would help cut transmission.

Twitter permanently bans US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's personal account for repeated violations of its Covid misinformation rules.

Have just seen a longer reportage on our Danish News Channel.

Who's right and who's wrong.

Some scientist say that Omicron is slightly weaker or as strong as Delta
While some scientist like those in Denmark, says Omicron is weaker if not a lot weaker than Delta.

One of the reason should be the high percentage of infected versus the number in hospital which is lower than it was when Delta was in charge(not the correct phrase).

On the other hand-This omicron is barely some month old and the real number infected in hospital could go up in a couple of month from now.

So who's right and who's wrong ?

I say better be safe than sorry and treat Omicron as it was as dangerous as the Delta variant.

What the awareness of the public, and the debates, and sceptics, and the deciders, still do not really have on their radar screens:

What mandate Nazis never had on their radar screens are what long term side effects from any of the vaccines will be. Nobody has a clue. We don’t even know the details how the trials were conducted.

Pump’em up with the stuff what you care you’ll all be dead before anyone knows for sure what if any long haul side effects are. Bunch of unethical selfish old geezers. Nobody nver needed you to save the world pandemics run their course and fizzle with or without you. Go back to counting cases.

Millions of pupils in England and Northern Ireland are back to school today - but there are concerns Omicron may cause staff shortages.

Head teachers say staffing could be "challenging" as teachers need to isolate - and pupils might need to be sent home to learn online.

The government is urging schools to merge classes if needed and insists face-to-face teaching will remain the norm.

Secondary school students in England will take lateral flow tests in school, while those in Northern Ireland are urged to test at home.

At least six hospital trusts have declared critical incidents, meaning priority services may be under threat.

The number of daily Covid cases has shot up in recent weeks - but early evidence suggests Omicron is causing milder illness so far.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic says he'll compete at the Australian Open with a medical exemption from being vaccinated.
