Are You Ready To Ride The 2nd Omicron Wave?

A second wave of Omicron is headed around the world. While most countries are in their peaks for the 1st Omicron, titled Omicron BA.1, the second strain of Omicron is gaining ground (Omicron BA.2).

The Omicron sublineage BA.2 is making headlines for its potentially increased transmissibility as its prevalence rises in some countries, but experts aren't too concerned about the variant just yet.

Late last week, the U.K. Health Security Agency designated BA.2 a "variant under investigation" as cases were doubling every 4 days and showing a 120% growth advantage over the original Omicron clade, known as BA.1, said Katelyn Jetelina, PhD, MPH, an epidemiologist at UT Health Science Center at Houston.

Omicron BA.2 May Be Extra Transmissable

In the UK and Denmark, Omicron BA.2 has already gained ground over the 1st Omicron strain BA.1.

So far, three subvariants of Omicron have been described: BA.1, BA.2 and BA.3. Worldwide, BA.1 account for most of Omicron-cases. However, in Denmark BA.2 is gaining ground.

The subvariant BA.2 accounted for 20% of all covid-19-cases in Denmark in week 52 (last year)increasing to approximately 45% in week 2 (of this year 2022). During the same period, the relative frequency of BA.1 has dropped.

Other countries also experience an increase in BA.2 cases: E.g. Great Britain, Norway and Sweden – but seemingly their increase in numbers are so far not on the same level as in Denmark.

Different mutations
BA.1 and BA.2 have many differences in their mutations in the most important areas. In fact, the difference between BA.1 and BA.2 is greater than the difference between the original variant and the Alpha variant.

Such differences can lead to different properties for instance concerning infectiousness, vaccine efficiency or severity. So far, there is no information as to whether BA.1 and BA.2 have different properties, but Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is continually working to investigate this matter.

Now, an Omicron variant, BA.2, accounts for almost half of all Danish Omicron-cases

Omicron BA.2 has 30 more mutations that are different than the mutations to BA.1. This means that vaccines will be even less effective on BA.2 than BA.1. And with that many mutations, even the unvaccinated with natural immunity will probably have to build up additional immunity to these 30 more mutations.

A Moroccan researcher says that BA.2 belongs to the same lineage as the omicron variant but has 30 more mutations than the original version. Several of these mutations are on the spike protein, the part of the virus that acts as a key to get into human cells and is the target for some antibodies.

25. A20055G
26. C26858T (also BA.3)
N
27. S413R (also BA.3)

So that's the rough draft list of mutations found in BA.2 that are not found in BA.1 Omicron. I think there's more. This is just a rough draft.

That means a whole new set of mutations that everyone has to build immunity to.

Have you prepared to ride the 2nd Omicron Wave?

Its all about keeping the mandates and passport system in check and alive.
Making sure the economy is hurt.

Its like they are just making things as they go along with the agenda for 2030.

Yep!



P

With all of these mutations, how long before SARS-CoV-2 is no longer SARS-CoV-2?

And how much can one virus increase it's transmissibility before you can become infected just by watching a YouTube video about it or read it's name on the screen of your computer or phone display? Seems like it has increased at least a bazillion fold in the past 2 years. :/

over 50000 cases in japan
not looking good

Didn’t Fauci mention the other day that there were 5 stages of Covid, and we are currently in stage 1. HTF does anyone know this unless it’s all planned.

Him and Bill Gates knowing in 2016 that Trump will endure a pandemic during his term is enough for me.

Fauci and Gates ?

More like the Teflon brothers.

🤬

Except that the UK is unlocking this week, and since they're more or less at the state where onicron is literally just the flu because everyone is vaxxed to the hilt they probably won't be locking back up any time soon unless covid and ebola merge into some super pathogen.

Where the UK goes the EU will soon follow because they can't risk the uk economy recovering before theirs.

And when the EU unlock the US will be forced to do the same or be left behind.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first domino has fallen.

I repeat the first domino has fallen.

flu because everyone is vaxxed to the hilt

Falsehood ignoring the reason omicron is less lethal.

New studies reinforce belief that Omicron is less likely to damage lungs

amp.theguardian.com...

A growing body of evidence indicates that the Omicron Covid variant is more likely to infect the throat than the lungs, which scientists believe may explain why it appears to be more infectious but less deadly than other versions of the virus. Six studies – four published since Christmas Eve – have found that Omicron does not damage people’s lungs as much as the Delta and other previous variants of Covid. The studies have yet to be peer-reviewed by other scientists.

Same source…

They found Omicron able to evade vaccines, but less able to enter lung cells.

50000 cases today

For covid, or with covid?

Sure.

I don't believe for one second that any dominoes have fallen, unless you mean our rights.

Sorry. Just couldn't help myself.


On a more serious note, this is going to last as long as they can make it last. Like the Flu, Covid is going to mutate and they will use that to continue with mask mandates, vaccinations, lockdowns and booster after booster after booster. God knows how many billions Big Pharma and politicians have made and they're going to ride this gravy train till the wheels fall off. They see this as a way to gain power and once they have it, they will fight tooth and nail to keep it.

The UK is ground zero for Delta, and the vax reduces Omicron to a petty annoyances.

Regardless, the UK is absolutely debunking the control conspiracy because there is a top flight economy where the government cannot wait to remove restrictions and to relinquish control.

Neighboring countries will have no choice but to follow suit, and the US will follow along afterwards because if it does not then it will be left behind with a crippled economy.

The UK was among the first to unlock in 2020 and 2021, and one of the last to lock down. In fact the wouldn't have locked down at all if it weren't for liberals having a fear fit and demanding it. Boris Johnson is walking talking proof that dozens of conspiracies are rubbish because he bucks the narratives so often.

The UK is the first, the English government is handing back most powers this week, schools are open, entertainment venues are open, covid passports are optional,all that's remaining is masks on public transport. Where England leads Scotland and Wales will be forced to follow otherwise their own people will simply cross the border to go to nightclubs or watch live sports.

Once the UK has unlocked France and Germany will be forced to do the same otherwise the UK will steal business opportunities from them.

From there it's a short hop to the EU unlocking. Which will force the US to unlock.

Sounds good in theory.

Instead I think we'll all be in lockdown for the foreseeable future. They'll find a reason to freak out, again.

That's what I think anyway...I'd really prefer that you're right though.

Didn't you yourself say that these figures were artificially kept high to make covid seem worse than it really was?

By your own measure, take this numbers and cut them in half.
