    "Omicron is an anagram of moronic..."

    I think someone at the WHO has a sense of humour.

    We have TWO Omicron cases in the UK and the rest of us must go back to face muzzles and pay £400.00 on mandatory PCR tests.

    This joke stopped being funny many moons ago.

    Special radiation can kill COVID-19 and polio virus, Israeli study shows

    https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wel...y-shows-686981

    Millimeter waves can be used as an effective tool to kill over 99% of the pathogens on different surfaces in two seconds, research by Ariel University scholars indicates.

    A special form of radiation known as millimeter waves can kill 99% of corona and polioviruses from surfaces within two seconds, new research from scientists at Ariel University has shown. The results can have important implications on how to disinfect environments and equipment in a fast and efficient way.

    “This type of radiation operates in the millimeter-wave regime, which means that they have a wavelength of about three millimeters. Just for comparison, the radiation from a cellphone has a wavelength of about 30 centimeters, and that from a microwave of about 12 centimeters.”

    Millimeters waves have many applications. In the medical field, preliminary research has shown that they can be very effective in targeting tumors and killing cancerous cells. In addition, they can be used to transfer energy and electricity without using wires, as well as in the manufacturing process of unique materials such as synthetic diamonds.
    It does not appear that the technology can currently target the virus in the human body, “but it can be very useful for rooms, equipment and all forms of surfaces that need to be clear from any virus and coronavirus specifically.

    Why is the new coronavirus variant called 'Omicron'?

    https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wel...omicron-687165

    In choosing a name for the variant, the World Health Organization skipped two letters of the Greek alphabet, Nu and Xi. Here is why.
    The new coronavirus variant has been named Omicron, skipping the previous two Greek letters, to avoid generating confusion and causing harm to the Chinese people, a World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
    On Thursday, as reports about the variant first found in South Africa began to emerge, many started to refer to it as the “Nu” variant.
    When the first new coronavirus variants emerged in the early phase of the pandemic, they became known to the public with the name of the country where they were first identified: the British variant, the South African variant and so on.
    The variants also had official scientific names. For example, the British variant is known among scientists as B.1.1.7. However, those labels did not really work for the purpose of general communication.

    “While they have their advantages, these scientific names can be difficult to say and recall, and are prone to misreporting,” the WHO said in a statement. “As a result, people often resort to calling variants by the places where they are detected, which is stigmatizing and discriminatory.
    “To avoid this and to simplify public communications, WHO encourages national authorities, media outlets and others to adopt these new labels,” it added, referring to the Greek letter designation.

    As a result, the British variant became Alpha, the South African one Beta and the Brazilian one Gamma. By the time Delta emerged, nobody really called it “Indian,” even though India was the area where it was first recorded in November 2020.
    In the following months, more variants were identified, even though many did not become known to the general public.

    According to WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris, Nu was not employed to avoid confusion in English-speaking countries.
    “Nu sounds too much like ‘new’ in English,” Harris told Corriere della Sera. “In short, the English-speaking world would have found itself in the situation of hearing two extremely similar sounds in a sentence in which it spoke of the ‘new Nu variant’ and would have thought that it was only a new variant, not the name of that variant.”
    Regarding Xi, the problem was geopolitical.......read on if interesting?

    South African Medical Association Debunks Global Hysteria – Says Omicron Variant Symptoms ‘Unusual But Mild’ – Even WHO Says No Reason to Panic

    Angelique Coetzee, the chairwoman of the South African Medical Association who first raised the alarm of the new COVID variant, gave an interesting update and now says the new variant known as the ‘Omicron’ causes “unusual but mild symptoms.”

    “It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well. So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms.

    Mass panic and hysteria now setting in. The death toll from this deadly new variant, as far as I'm aware, remains at zero. Never mind, let's shut everything down again and skulk behind our muzzles, hoping the deadly disease won't notice us. God help us, the Lockdown Loons and Mask Morons are off the leash again.

    Lunacy Rules OK.

    Food for thought ?

    "New variant Omicron arrives in Australia"

    It can only be brought in by a vaxxed person, the unvaxxed can't enter.

    I'm still smiling about euthanasia not being available in Germany for the unvaccinated.

    Just scroll down until you see Hancock's face and listen to the the truth, the science, on the efficacy of face masks.

    Then ask yourself, what changed ?
