Spreading rapidly in Europe, Omicron variant sparks a wave of new restrictions
In fact, on Wednesday, when the WHO announced that the variant had been detected in 23 countries — a number that soon rose to 24 when a case was discovered in California — 13 of those countries were in Europe, among them Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Portugal and Spain. By Thursday afternoon, another four EU countries had reported cases, including Norway, where Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre told reporters that 50 fully vaccinated people had tested positive for Omicron after being infected at a Christmas bash in Oslo.
The sudden jump in cases, which by Thursday afternoon totaled 171, may be more a reflection of diligence than incidence, Salvador Macip, a cellular biologist and author of “Modern Epidemics,” told Yahoo News. “We’re finding it more in Europe, because now we’re looking for it,” he said. Those detection efforts include performing genome sequencing on positive tests from previous weeks. But some epidemiologists are now predicting that Omicron will overtake Delta as early as next month.
Have all the unvaxxed passed away? Why aren't they reporting unvaxxed cases if they are all dying? How many died in South Africa with only 24% vaxxed?
