I am writing this to the extensive aunty and uncle networks that flourish via WhatsApp and Telegram groups. I am sure all of you are aware of the Omicron variant, but may have a limited picture of what to expect. Allow me to share with you and your networks what we can expect with this variant in Malaysia.

Possible Omicron Wave In Malaysia From January To March 2022

The current detected cases of Omicron in the country may appear low, but we must realise that our genome testing is very limited (0.25 per cent of cases), compared to countries of our level of development.

If you look carefully at the data, you will see a steep rise in the number of infections in imported cases. Most of these are probably the Omicron variant. It is very likely, in many countries, including Singapore, that Omicron is beginning to spread locally in the community.

As we know from good data, Omicron spreads very fast and has a rapid doubling time of 1.5 to 2.5 days. This means that small numbers can rapidly escalate in a short time.

Note that the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) has already predicted a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases in Malaysia due to the Omicron variant, with a peak happening in January 2022.

Looking at what has happened in other countries, especially South Africa and the United Kingdom, Malaysia can expect a sharp rise in cases in the next one to three months, but we hope this will be short-lived.

How Will Omicron Impact Our Health?

What we know so far from the available data is that Omicron causes breakthrough infections more easily for those who are vaccinated, and appears to be less severe, but we have no idea of the risk of long Covid.

The latest technical briefing from Public Health England has data that offers better estimates of vaccine effectiveness (VE) against getting infected. To summarise:

Two doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines do not protect against the Omicron variant three to four months after vaccination (unlike with Delta).
For those who received Pfizer vaccines, another Pfizer booster dose pushed up protection initially, but this dropped to about 45 per cent after 10 weeks.
For those who received AstraZeneca vaccines, a Pfizer booster dose pushed up protection initially, but this dropped to about 35 per cent after 10 weeks.
Boosting Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine recipients with a Moderna vaccine produced better results.
This data suggests that anyone can get infected despite being vaccinated, and that boosters have a moderate effect in reducing infection. Vaccines can reduce hospitalisation.

Note that VE against hospitalisation was not shown, which is of more value and importance to us. South African data suggested that hospitalisation was reduced significantly when one is infected with Omicron compared to Delta, but we must realise that their population has lower vaccination rates and higher natural immunity from extensive Covid-19 spread.

A detailed analysis of UK data by the Imperial College London suggests a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in hospitalisation risk when compared to the Delta variant.

This data suggests that Omicron is less severe, but bear in mind that being so much more infective means that it still can put many people in hospital.

What about the Sinovac vaccine and Omicron? There is no real-world data, unlike Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and we have to rely on laboratory antibody studies, which may not reflect what will happen.

Studies from the University of Hong Kong showed that two doses of Sinovac produced insufficient antibodies against Omicron. This was also the case for a Sinovac booster dose. The University of Hong Kong team recommended that Sinovac vaccine recipients receive a Pfizer booster dose.

In summary, Omicron will infect many of us, some of us will be hospitalised, and certain vaccine boosters offer protection. We have no idea at present of Omicron’s long Covid risk but experts in the United States do not expect it “to be any different than previous variants”.

What Are The Concerns For The Health Care System And Society?

The concern of a new Covid-19 wave will put stress on our health care system. Health care workers are beyond the point of exhaustion, and ICU beds are limited. Another wave will increase bed usage, put additional strain on the system, and limit health care for other medical conditions.

We should also worry about our children, especially those aged below 12. They are unprotected and will be difficult to shield from the very infectious Omicron variant.

Their schooling may be disrupted again. We need to seriously consider using the Pfizer vaccine, originally meant for teenagers and adults, at a smaller dose for children aged 5 to 11, as well as improve classroom ventilation.

What Can We Do to Improve Our Protection (Reduce Our Risk)?

None of us are looking forward to any form of a lockdown, as it will further harm the poor, the economy, and the mental health of all. In medicine, we often talk about a return to

Moderna Sees Struggle; China Vaccines for Africa: Virus Update

Moderna Sees Variant Challenge (1:22 p.m. HK)

Existing vaccines will be less effective at tackling omicron than earlier strains of Covid-19 and it may take months before pharmaceutical companies can manufacture new variant-specific jabs at scale, Moderna Chief Executive Stephane Bancel said in an interview with the Financial Times.

WELL SAID AdCool!!

Yes....

Life is a long road.... People who are constantly getting curses from others, usually live a very painful & miserable existence.

Americans are now getting infected with COVID-19 at 10 times the rate needed to end the pandemic, which will persist until more people get vaccinated, NIAID director Anthony Fauci tells Axios.

Threat level: "The endgame is to suppress the virus. Right now, we're still in pandemic mode, because we have 160,000 new infections a day. That's not even modestly good control ... which means it's a public health threat."

"In a country of our size, you can't be hanging around and having 100,000 infections a day. You've got to get well below 10,000 before you start feeling comfortable," Fauci says.
Once enough people have been vaccinated, he adds, "you'll still get some people getting infected, but you're not going to have it as a public health threat."
Between the lines: Despite all of the buzz about the Mu variant, which appears to elude some protective properties of authorized vaccines and prior infections, the Delta variant continues to dominate in the U.S. and around the world.

The good news: Fauci says this means currently authorized vaccinations are still effective.
The bad news: Not enough Americans are taking measures against the Delta variant, which has already upped the stakes.

And, the longer it takes to end this pandemic phase, the bigger the chance we'll end up with a "monster variant" that not only eludes vaccines but also is dangerously transmissible.

Lambda has a unique pattern of seven mutations in the spike protein that the virus uses to infect human cells, according to the Financial Times.
"One reason why it is hard to make sense of the threat from Lambda, using computational and lab data, is that it has rather an unusual set of mutations, compared with other variants," he said.
The Lambda variant has since spread to 27 countries including the UK, causing concern as the country expects to return to pre-pandemic norms by July 19.
A doctor in molecular biology in Peru's Cayetano Heredia university, Pablo Tsukayama said that when the variant first caught the attention of medics in December, it accounted for “just one in every 200 samples”.
“By March, however, it accounted for about 50% of samples in Lima and now it’s about 80%. That would suggest its rate of transmission is higher than other variants,” he said.
FT, citing WHO, reported that Lambda "accounted for 82% of new COVID-19 cases in May and June in Peru, which has the world’s highest coronavirus mortality rate".
Lambda was designated this June by the WHO as the seventh “variant of interest” so far.
The global health body believes that the other four more widely reported strains are of greater concern — Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta which were first detected in the UK, South Africa, Brazil and India respectively. It says that the Lamdba variant, however, does need to be closely watched.
According to FT: "Lambda has a unique pattern of seven mutations in the spike protein that the virus uses to infect human cells. Researchers are particularly intrigued by one mutation called L452Q, which is similar to the L452R mutation believed to contribute to the high infectiousness of the Delta variant."

PETALING JAYA: A new Covid-19 strain that is much more dangerous than the Delta variant has been detected in more than 30 countries in the past four weeks, says the Health Ministry.

“The Lambda strain was reported to have originated from Peru, the country with the highest mortality rate in the world,” it said in a tweet on Monday (July 5).

The Health Ministry also linked to report by Australian news portal news.com.au saying the Lambda strain had been detected in the United Kingdom.

The portal reported that six cases of the Lambda strain have been detected in the UK to date.


It noted that researchers are worried that this variant may be “more infectious than the Delta variant”.

There’ s a growing sense in Indonesia that the current coronavirus resurgence is turning out worse than the last peak in January. Already, daily cases have tripled from May, and the number of deaths is climbing despite an ongoing vaccination program.

Brazil recently surpassed 500,000 official Covid deaths, the world’s second-highest total behind the U.S. About 1 in every 400 Brazilians has died from the virus, but many experts believe the true death toll may be higher. The virus situation there is not easing, with an average of nearly 70,000 new cases per day.

There was a consensus that the Gamma variant vastly accelerated contagion earlier this year, and it played a pivotal role in pushing Brazil’s health system to the brink of collapse. There have been a number of cases that have been conclusively traced to the Delta variant in a few parts of the country, but Brazil doesn’t have the capacity, or the political will, to have a far more aggressive sequencing program. So by the time we have the first glimmers of where the variants are changing the dynamics of the virus, it’s too late to do something about it.

A global decline in cases has masked a rise in infections and deaths in regions such as Africa, which has the “least access to vaccines, diagnostics and oxygen,” he added. Vaccines are also vital to counter new coronavirus variants, such as the recently designated Lambda, or C.37, first detected in Peru and now associated with “substantive rates of community transmission in multiple” countries in the region, the WHO said. Per a CNN report.

Growing Cases of Delta Plus Variant
A new, slightly altered version of the Delta COVID-19 variant – called Delta Plus – is spreading through the US, UK, and India, health officials say. What differentiates you two strains, you might be inquiring. Well, Delta Plus has an extra mutation called K417N, which distinguishes it from the regular Delta variant, per a CNN report.

Only 10% of World Population is Fully Vaccinated
Only 10% of the world’s population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to new data. Moreover, data show that Black people have been disproportionately affected by the virus, accounting for 15% of total deaths, and only 12.5% of the population. The average age of people dying from the virus has also been trending younger.

Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO Technical Lead on COVID-19, said, “the world situation is very fragile” and “countries must be cautious”.

Noting that Delta has proved “extremely contagious in any country it reaches”, she cautioned that it is being transmitted among unvaccinated people, “even in countries with high percentages of immunization”.

“The delta variant can make the epidemic curve exponentially”, added Dr. Van Kerkhove.

‘Constellation of variants’
But Delta is not the only worrying mutation. According to the WHO expert, “there is a constellation of variants circulating”, including subvariants, four of which are very worrying.

“Vaccines and treatments work, but these viruses can evolve” she said, and the existing shots “may not work” over time, emphasizing again that to minimize outbreaks, everyone must continue to maintain public health measures.

Noting that Delta has proved “extremely contagious in any country it reaches”, she cautioned that it is being transmitted among unvaccinated people, “even in countries with high percentages of immunization”.

“The delta variant can make the epidemic curve exponentially”, added Dr. Van Kerkhove.

‘Constellation of variants’
But Delta is not the only worrying mutation. According to the WHO expert, “there is a constellation of variants circulating”, including subvariants, four of which are very worrying.

“Vaccines and treatments work, but these viruses can evolve” she said, and the existing shots “may not work” over time, emphasizing again that to minimize outbreaks, everyone must continue to maintain public health measures.

The prevalence of Covid-19 in England is increasing exponentially, driven by younger age groups that haven’t been vaccinated, according to the latest round of results from the React-1 study, led by Imperial College London.

The research shows the national prevalence of the virus has increased by 50% in its latest round of analysis recorded between May 20 and June 7, compared with its last round from April 15 to May 3.

A doubling time of around every 11 days was now estimated, with the R number at 1.44, the report said. It also found a re-convergence between prevalence and the pattern of hospitalizations and deaths since late April for those under 65.

Researchers, in a media briefing, said this is consistent with the Delta variant now dominating across the country.

Recent attempts to revive social life and financial activities have resulted in another surge in cases and hospitalizations

The world is bracing for a new wave of Covid-19 infections, as the coronavirus pandemic has infected more than 175 million people and killed more than 3.8 million globally since late January 2020.

Yes I am a supermx trader here already made about $40k from trading in previous rebound. So what? I am fine. If u think people posting some negative views and comments here are crazy then u are crazy u need to find a good psychologist for yourself not me.

--------------------------------------

There's a difference from expressing negative views.... as compared to someone who's become a nuisance to the rest,has no insight into human interactions, is displaying obssesive and compulsive traits and is so self absorbed that he can't see it!

Please get some profesional help, before you end up hurting yourself ( or others who care for you ).
