That might go straight to hospital and be admitted. but we are also aware that the numbers are very, very slightly going up in the icus, that it is nothing compared to what we have seen with delta. we understand that this is early days, and that is why we say it is not a storm in a teacup now. but it might change. two weeks from now, we might say something different. but i'm afraid that, looking at the symptoms, i think it has been missed by other countries as well, and i want to applaud south african scientists for doing their due diligence to pick up this variant, they picked it up at the sa...

Movement. it's to see if hewe can slow th spread. knowing there's probably already transmission with this variant is something we should prepare for and make sure we have a good response. i agree it's one of those double-edged swaords. you're punishing people that are doing evidence and data sharing. there's some good news here. the good news, as we talk about this variant, we can detect it through pcr testing. we're able to find out about the variant earlier on, compared to delta where it was already spreading throughout the world. as we look at vaccine effectiveness, i think our vaccines wil...

The Health Service Executive (HSE) has responded to the reported lack of PCR appointments in 18 counties, including Kildare, which occurred earlier this we...

Just a matter of days until we get that information. >> so there are less than 100 cases confirmed worldwide. they're spread across the world in countries like south africa, botswana, hong kong, belgium, israel. at this point we're tracking cases -- not a high number of cases but there's some decent spread. they're in almost every continent already. is it until a matter of time until we have a case in the u.s.? >> it's quite possible it's already here and we haven't picked it up with the pcr testing. again, if you are vaccinated, you probably likely have a lot of protection against this new va...

Mutations, 30 of them being in a key protein that we study and use to vaccinate against, which is the spike protein which sits on the virus surface. this spike protein engages our receptors and gains entry into our cells. it is also the target of the response following vaccination against natural infection so it really is a critical part of the virus and we are seeing a large number of changes occurring in this new variant. and of course now the race is on to try and find outjust how contagious it might be. how long will that take and whether or not it stands up to the vaccines that we have? i...
