Sick of me saying this, but ive been likening the pandemic, this virus to like the alien and aliens. its whole goal is to jump into different people and mutate into different kinds of aliens and the anti-vaxxers are like the guy from the corporation like we can go ahead and allow it to come back to earth. at some point, isnt it true this thing is going to mutate to a kind of virus that we cant stop with any vaccine or any treatment? >> that would be really highly unlikely, joy. youre making a go...

Expressed her executive order on stemming the omicron variant and yet to make an appearance in the united states. >> i expected to arrive fully. we have notification that it has arrived in ontario which is literally across the bridge from where i live. >> preparing for a winters spike in covids cases. boosting that capacity by 10%. the omicron variants like the delta variant but what an added threat, the ability to mutate. >> this omicron has more than 30 mutations in the protein and some of the...

Eventually they down mutate. im not sure that we are in a position right now to pass any opinion. etiquette too early in the process, quite frankly. we are probably and any dote police experiencing minor symptoms. what whaen also knows that when you are at this spark of a wage or a surge of a new variant its usually the younger population that gets infected first. and of course they have a much more resilient and robust immune system. the short answer is, ifeel robust immune system. the short an...

Family and friends during the festive season. i just think, you know, theres other ways to do this. >> again, i want to reiterate, as you have many times, it is early and we still have much to learn. but the epidemiology, when were talking about the history of pandemics or viruses, there has been a tendency for mutations toward the more mild. there have been viruses, and theres scientific reasons for it, why when they do mutate, they mutate to becoming more mild. you say it is possible that if t...

Up to see increased hospitalisation was up but certainly in south africa this is attributable to patients largely that are unvaccinated. again indicating that we need to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible to get over this. there is some evidence _ possible to get over this. there is some evidence though, _ possible to get over this. there is some evidence though, we - possible to get over this. there is some evidence though, we heard | possible to get over this. there is - some evid...

Worried about, or at least the ones that i understand better, first of all they say that there is a large number of mutations in this variant. and a large number compared to other non variants like the delta variant. right? why is that bad? why is that worse to have large numbers? of the mutation, in particular if they appear to be a large number of mutations on the spike protein. we know that the spike protein is what was targeted by vaccine makers, as effectively the way to activate our immune...

To do and with rates like 60% to 70% in the u.s., 7% on the african continent, you have to wonder whether we really love our neighbor. the point i want to make here is it is the smart thing to do because it is self-defeating not to do it because this is the way to make variants is to let the virus rage and mutate. that is what we dont want to do. >> a couple things. who do we know is getting sick from this variant in south africa and when you talk about the mutations what does that mean the spik...

Were made with the delta variant coming out of india and a failure to shut down flights from there quickly, they had to act precipitously, even though a case hasnt been found here. but youre seeing the politics of this covid problem play out throughout all this and the hope is that, you know, they can — the vaccines will be able to deal with this new variant in time. thomas, back a few months ago, cyril ramaphosa was one of a number of african leaders who were saying to western leaders, "look,...

Last shot of pfizer in august, they are the ones that now -- that we have picked up with breakthrough infections. >> doctor, given what we know and what we dont know, whats the best course of action here? >> yes, so a lot to unpack. let me start by saying the fact that the new variant has e american second down really no surprise to any public health expert. we know with 42% of the globe fully vaccinated, the virus is going to continue to replicate and mutate and new variants will emerge. we nee...

World the fear that the variant evades immune at this. bancels team is speaking with other scientists. some of these samples are packed to be shipped to other research institutes in the country. they will know within ten days whether existing vaccines can stop omicron. stephane thinks they will provide some protections. the virus will continue to mutate. >> we will continue to learn the rest of the greek alphabet unless we understand why the variants evolve, how they evolve and be able to predic...
