Covid Wave number 7 is upon us in Australia
Sigma (BA.2.75.*) is in Australia and has been for over a month but is now starting to grow in prevalence compared to Pi (BA.5.*). Don’t forget to get that fifth jab in. Klaus Schwab recommends it. The nomenclature is a bit confusing. Greek letters should have been assigned to BA.2.* (Rho), BA.5.* (Pi) and now…

New Omicron variants of concern are exploding in number. Next wave will be BA.2.75.
Some time ago I questioned why BA.2 and all subvariants like BA.2.* (* being wild card) where even listed under Omicron as they were vastly different to the BA.1.* subvariants. BA.3 was a lot like BA.1 but has since vanished because it was less contagious. Anyhow people have now separated all the BA.2 subvariants in…

Omicron XE causing new surge in Covid in Malta
Yes, Omicron XE is still active. Omicron XE is a recombinant of the variants BA.1 and BA.2. BA.2 is very different to BA.1 and virologists are just starting to relabel BA.2 variants in a class of their own. The BA.2 variants should have been given a new Greek letter by the WHO. Recombinant variants are…

Number of enumerated Omicron subvariants now 119
That is where people have got to in updating the number of Omicron variants anyhow. There are more likely 300 to 400 of them, but the number of variants are going too fast to keep track of of all of them. Variants like B.2.23 and BA.2.33 had been seen in Australia and the USA but…

Any immunity to BA.1 is useless against the new Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5
Immunity to BA.1 is useless against the new Omicron variants. I have always said that BA.2 is different to BA.1, and BA.4 and BA.5 are more like BA.2 with the extra mutation L452R found on the Delta variant, so I am not surprised by this at all. It is concerning that the immune escape of…

Director General of WHO wants China to lift lockdowns, but at what cost? 100,000 deaths a day?
The WHO wants China to end lockdowns because global companies are being affected. hmm. Do not trust the WHO to manage a Pandemic Response Treaty. They mucked this one up.

What is happening to the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of Omicron in South Africa?
I largely recorded this on video and uploaded to youtube. The world will have a new wave of BA.4 and BA.5 coming soon. I just looked up to see how these variants are faring in South Africa because they be dominant here in Australia soon. BA.1.* has essentially been wiped out, whereas BA.2.* have been…

BA.4 and BA.5 are growing fast in South Africa. Detected in Australia now. Get ready for a new deadly winter wave.
Australia is heading to catastrophe with BA4 and BA.5 now in Australia and the removal of the one mandate that was strongly supported by science, namely masks. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/04/three-new-covid-omicron-subvariant-australia-ba-2-12-1-ba4-ba5-detected BA.4 and BA.5 are growing fast in South Africa with respect to BA.2. See graph. South Africa is almost certainly heading into fifth wave. See graph. BA.4…

Covid19 deaths in Australia are on the rise.
Don’t let the dropping of mask mandates for the election fool you. Look at this. It is much clearer if you look back 60 days. Meanwhile, Prof Paul Kelly (CMO Australia) had a brilliant idea (for him anyhow) to get covid19 deaths down to zero. Stop counting them! LOL. Lump them all into the excess…
