Omicron symptoms mild so far, says South African doctor who spotted it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59450988
Let’s hope this is right, spreads easily but very mild symptoms
Football related evidence that the Omicron variant seems very contagious.

On BBC news tonight Cardiff Rugby say that the squad was tested again and reported that still only the two players with Covid, one of whom has the Omicron variant. So maybe not so contagious??
Taken from the Guardian’s rolling coverage.
Early figures from South Africa show that fewer than a third (31%) admitted to hospital with Omicron related Covid are suffering what qualifies as severe symptoms. This compares with two thirds suffering severe symptoms in the country’s first two waves.
Sounds encouraging.
Better get that Christmas party in quick:

Had my booster today. My first 2 were AZ, this was Moderna. Wiped me out, light headed, fell asleep, nausea, just coming out of it 6 hours later. Unusual, I’m normally robust to injections
Had my booster yesterday.
First 2 were also AZ, but the booster was Pfizer. Arm a bit more sore than for the first two, but otherwise OK. Is there some value to the mix and match approach to the booster, or doesn't it matter?
For the first two jabs the NHS were insistent on using the same vaccine. For the booster from what I have read there may be a benefit in changing it?
Had flu like symptoms after my first AZ jab, felt fine after my second one and then it was a pleasant surprise when I didn't have any side effects from my Moderna booster a fortnight ago - I was certainly expecting some after hearing one or two horror stories from people who'd had the same combination as me, but nothing at all.
Hoping that Omicron is the beginning of the end of Covid (As a big issue anyway).
Very transmisable and so far very mild.
If it’s not mild we will all be in lockdown again for January at least…..

People have been advised against attending Christmas parties to ease "increasing pressures" on the NHS.
Drakeford announces that it would be desirable if we all carry out a lateral flow test before we go shopping or visiting other people. Wow, are there enough test kits in Wales for everyone to be able to do that on a regular basis? I got our first test kit this week from our local pharmacy as my wife has cold-like symptoms and we wanted to check it out (negative thankfully). It was ironic to read that the kit was made in China - a nice little earner there. Start a pandemic and then supply the test kits!
January 5th.
3 months? Best pop to the pub now coz there won’t be any left by the summer
I think January 5th is the 1st day back for most after the holidays, perhaps 4th. No way will they impose a lockdown before Christmas because most people won't comply, and hospitality will be wrecked. After Christmas the morons will assume everyone has had as much travel, booze and food as they can take, so will be more compliant. Also the morons can take credit for 'allowing' Christmas.
Me too. It is the natural end-game for a virus really. A mild one coming in to dominate might actually be good news overall.
I have to admit, there does seem to have been a rapid escalation in the last week or so. Where there might have been people getting isolated incidents, whole groups suddenly seem to be taken out. In our work, all of a sudden I'm having 3-5 colleagues a day testing positive (despite the last-minute cancellation of any Christmas parties etc). A mate of mine has said the same thing - an entire department of 7 people all tested positive on the same day. Projects are getting put on hold all over the place because people are out with it - I've personally not seen it have this effect before.
I myself currently have it (classic version it seems, rather than variant). Had I contracted it 6 months ago I'd be at a loss to guess where it came from as nobody I knew was contracting it. Whereas now, I am at a loss to guess where it came from as it could be from multiple sources.
good luck with it, appears to be everywhere again
Lockdown restrictions extended in Holland
I was rough 12-36 hours after my Booster.
Felt worse than the second I think.
Arm hurt for probably 4 days.

Top South African doctor saying symptoms of omicron are mild….could be the best present anyone gets this Christmas
I'm beginning to form the opinion that this news might disappoint some of our lectern hoggers..
The problem of something being very transmissible while being “mild” is even if it’s 10 times as mild but 100 times as transmissible we still end up in the same situation.
Get your booster and stay safe everyone. Hopefully this is the first sign of it becoming endemic but I feel like we’ve a rough few weeks ahead.
The roll out of boosters to vulnerable and old people seems to have gone well at least and should hopefully help a lot. I’m surprised it hasn’t been open in Wales yet to younger people. I’m early 30s and got mine today.
