....of omicron .
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/15/omicron-found-to-grow-70-times-fas
"The Omicron Covid variant has been found to multiply about 70 times quicker than the original and Delta versions of coronavirus in tissue samples taken from the bronchus, the main tubes from the windpipe to the lungs, in laboratory experiments that could help explain its rapid transmission.
The study, by a team from the University of Hong Kong, also found that the new variant grew 10 times slower in lung tissue, which the authors said could be an indicator of lower disease severity."
...maybe cause for some relative optimism.

Any reason you quoted that passage but not this one in the same article:
“Therefore, taken together with our recent studies showing that the Omicron variant can partially escape immunity from vaccines and past infection, the overall threat from the Omicron variant is likely to be very significant.”

Maybe it's my cheery optimistic disposition, what made you choose yours?
I will be expecting fully balanced quotes from any articles that you link in future! | |

As an aside fellow hortic, how are you and Mrs Slave?
Are you both still negative or having to isolate atm. |  |

I chose it to illustrate that you're cherry picking the information from the article to support a view you've been pushing for 24 hours or so. You might well end up being right but the data really isn't there yet to make that conclusion.
Feel free to pull me up if I cherry pick information from within the same article.

PCR tests dispatched only an hour ago. Both feeling fine thanks, must be the vit D spray and all that dirt!
We have been informing our customers and letting them decide....obviously being in their gardens we are suitably distant. If the result is favourable then will be at the match on Saturday, if not then a lovely quiet Christmas awaits (whatever my Mum says!!) | |

Thanks for asking. Btw, regardless of the result of the test Miss Slave (Junior who will still be isolating), feckless single mother neighbour and son have taken full advantage of the situation to decide against going on Saturday.
Result!! ;) | |
