As so often we turn to Ivor Cummins for a cool look at the topic of virus variants.
Those with not very long memories will still remember the fuss surrounding the Alpha and Delta variants - the fact that this new one is the Omicron (greek for letter 'o') variant tells us how many letters-variants we have skipped-ignored since those days. Why were we not told?!
Like / Dislike this video here. Or not - perhaps he upset someone?
Also here Ivor and Donal discuss the facts on the ground in South Africa - how does the real impact of the new variant on South Africa contrast with the reaction of the rest of the world, and likely knock-on effect of the new travel restrictions on South Africa's tourist industry?
"we've gone beyond mismanagement ... into truly sinister behaviour"
Coming from the always unflappable, consistently non-conspiratorial, and relentlessly evidence-based Ivor Cummins, that is a very big statement.
Like / Dislike this video here. I guess he did upset someone.
Slightly preceding the announcement of the Omicron variant, Ivor has released his Covid Chronicles feature film which documents the Covid story from his perspective right through to October 2021.
Sadly we can't bring you the full film as there is a small charge (no free lunch guys!) but we can bring you the trailer:
The full film can be accessed here for a small contribution.
Recommended.
