The Omicron Variant on 18:37 - Nov 26 with 3770 views | bluelagos | Genuine question for those that follow these things. Does the use of Omicron (which google tells me is the 15th letter of the Greek alpabet) mean we have had 11 other variants named (Since Delta) which have been less newsworthy, or is this the 5th named variant? | |

Basically yes, there've been quite a lot that got names but then didn't really repay the faith shown in them, so to speak, and sank like stone. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/variant-info.html#anchor_1632 | | | |

I'm starting to get the point where I feel like the heat death of the universe will come before promotion. | |

It's very, very quiet.

..., Hurst Variant, Lambert Variant, ... But never fear! Matt Halfcock has spoken. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-59426277 @18:35 'he says the new variant has come as a "surprise" as there hasn't been a mutation for many months now' - yes I was amazed too. Who would have thought that mutations would still occur after many months of not occuring. 'Hancock insists ministers move "as fast as you think you can and is appropriate", said Hancock standing absolutely still so that he could make words come out. Does anyone else think that we should see if we can get this heavyweight back into power if there's going to be a new mutation? [Post edited 26 Nov 2021 20:02]

The Omicron Variant on 20:10 - Nov 26 with 3532 views | Swansea_Blue | It sounds like something in Doctor Who doesn't it Gords (obviously where the Doctor Who is male and presenting himself as a positive role model to all those men who are really insecure in their gender). | |

The Omicron Variant on 20:17 - Nov 26 with 3513 views | stonojnr | it sounds like a Doctor Who episode, well I guess its the WHO who name them and they do have doctors ;) at least its not the Omicron Persei 8 variant... | | | |

I'm sure the Omega Variant will be the final one that kills all mankind 'cos that's what Hollywood demands - it's the last Greek letter. ..but then again, the music industry suggests that there will be others as in the Ultimate Hits of the '90's (volume 2). | |

The Omicron Variant on 08:31 - Nov 27 with 2989 views | Herbivore | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-59442129 What I find particularly staggering is that 61 people on a flight from SA tested positive for Covid on arrival in Amsterdam. 61 people. Clearly either people aren't testing before travelling or the tests aren't working, either way the ease with which Covid is being spread through international travel is a farce. | |

I thought that to be odd too. They do say it’s a quick spreader, so maybe only one had it when they boarded 🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸ [Post edited 27 Nov 2021 10:18]

Thank goodness it was the Netherlands.......oh! Passengers travelling from Cape Town to Manchester via Amsterdam told the BBC that they were held on the tarmac at Schiphol Airport in the Dutch capital for four hours, before eventually disembarking. | |
