Hamburg researchers find that even mild Covid courses cause organ damage.

The study participants infected with the coronavirus reported no, mild or at most moderate symptoms at the time of infection. The vast majority of them, namely 93 percent, were treated purely on an outpatient basis; none of them required intensive medical inpatient treatment.

The result: In a direct comparison with the group of those aged and otherwise comparable non-infected, the test subjects showed signs of medium-term organ damage after surviving SARS-CoV-2 infection. In a communication from the UKE it says literally: “In the lung function test, a lung volume reduced by around three percent and a slightly increased airway resistance were documented in the participants. The heart examinations showed an average decrease in pumping power of one to two percent and a 41 percent increase in a marker protein in the blood, which provides information about the stress on the heart.



A central result also concerned the legs: According to the information, the ultrasound examination showed signs of a leg vein thrombosis two to three times more often. Likewise, a decrease in kidney function of around two percent was found in the test subjects after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

And China, short before the euophemistically socalled Olympic Games, has a very, very big problem and it will impact like an asteroid in its society, I think: the vaccines made by Chinese manufacturers have shown to be practically completely impotant against Omikron.

In other words: this bug now meets a society of 1.4 billion unvaccinated people.

Well, they prevented Taiwan for acchieving a deal with Biontech-Pfizer earlier last year, mobbing and pressing Biontech-Pfizer until these withdrew from it. And they abuse Olympia as a propaganda show for their own purpose, pretty much the same way the Nazis did with the last Olympic Games before WW2. - Therefore, my condolence is limited. The ordinary people mostly stand behind this government. So why not allowing them to feel the accountability of their nationalistic loyalty. Their econoym will feel the sting.

Ours too, unfortunately. But that is our accountability: to have made ourselves so dependent from them. All laughs are on our costs. Nobody forced us, but shortsighted greed drove us.

Meanwhile, I am wondering: What is Australia thinking, letting Djokovic in with a special permission? Long-upheld No-Covid regime (admitted: now collapsed)? Same rules for all? Vaccination mandatory? Obviously many people in Down Under also are angry with their officials.

People in England with a positive lateral flow test but no Covid symptoms will no longer have to take a PCR from 11 January.

This will be reviewed when the proportion of people with the virus in England drops below 1% for a sustained period of time, the UKHSA says.

And the government is expected to stop asking for pre-departure Covid tests for UK arrivals.

Boris Johnson will face MPs at 15:00 GMT in the first Prime Minister's Questions of 2022

At a news conference on Tuesday, he said he hoped the country could "ride out" the Omicron wave.

Sir Keir Starmer will miss PMQs as he has tested positive for Covid

In Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon reduces self-isolation for Covid cases from 10 days to seven.

And fully-vaccinated close contacts of cases in Scotland no longer need to isolate for ten days.

The number of infected on our little island keep on going up.
Yesterday it was 69 infected, today the number is 78

If I wrote in one of our local groups that curfew would be the right thing to do and only one member of the family are allowed to do the shopping 2 times per week - I would be ridiculed

Getting a booster shot decreases Covid-19 mortality by 90% compared to being fully vaccinated, according to data highlighted Wednesday by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
During a White House coronavirus briefing, Walensky shared data on booster dose efficacy from studies conducted in Israel while the Delta variant was dominant.
The data Walensky presented indicated that a booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine:

• decreased infection by 10 times compared to those who were fully vaccinated
• decreased severe disease by 18 times in people over age 60
• decreased severe disease by 22 times in people ages 40 to 59
• decreased mortality from Covid-19 by 90% compared to those who were fully vaccinated

“While these studies were done when Delta was the dominant variant in Israel, we expect to see a similar trend of increased protection over those who are boosted with Omicron,” Walensky said.

World No 1 tennis star Novak Djokovic, who has not been vaccinated, has been denied entry to Australia.

Speaking about his rival's predicament, Rafael Nadal says the vaccine "is the only way to stop this pandemic"

"Everybody is free to take their own decisions, but then there are some consequences," he adds.

A court hearing on deporting the Serb star has been adjourned and he remains in a Melbourne detention hotel.

Elsewhere, Italy’s government announces compulsory vaccinations for people over the age of 50

The UK reported 194,747 new cases on Wednesday, plus 334 deaths.

Covid testing for people travelling to England has "outlived its usefulness", Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says.
