These Are the Symptoms of the Omicron Variant, South African Doctor Says
Nov 27, 2021

Angelique Coetzee, a doctor with a private practice in Pretoria and chair of the South African Medical Association (SAMA), told The Telegraph that so far Omicron cases seem to present with strange but mild symptoms. "Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before," she said.

Most of the Omicron patients Coetzee has treated arrived "feeling so tired," making intense fatigue the most consistent symptom that's been reported. On the other hand, none of these patients suffered from loss of taste or smell, which has been one of the tell-tale COVID symptoms up to this point.

In terms of other surprising symptoms, Coetzee told The Telegraph, "We had one very interesting case, a kid, about six-years-old, with a temperature and a very high pulse rate, and I wondered if I should admit her, but when I followed up two days later she was so much better."

Coetzee has stressed that it's too early to make any larger predictions about what an Omicron wave would mean for the world - and if we'll even reach that point. In an interview with The Guardian, she reiterated that the cases she's seen have been mild, but acknowledged that it's too soon to know for sure if that will hold for a broader spectrum of Omicron infections.

"It's all speculation at this stage. It may be it's highly transmissible, but so far the cases we are seeing are extremely mild," Coetzee said. "Maybe two weeks from now I will have a different opinion, but this is what we are seeing. So are we seriously worried? No. We are concerned and we watch what's happening. But for now we're saying, 'OK, there's a whole hype out there. [We're] not sure why.'"

“Experts” told you if you complied with lockdowns, censorship, masks and vaccinations—life would return to normal.
“Conspiracy theorists” told you Covid was never going to end, and governments would use it to usher in a totalitarian new world order.

Who do you believe now?

That makes a lot of sense, particularly with the fatigue symptoms.

A statement by Joe based  on advice by Fauci.  Really?? Who in the heck is going to believe anything either one of them says?  President & Dr. Evil.

Of note: The 4 cases of new variant identified in Botswana were incidentally detected in well people tested before air travel, and South African Medical Association chief said - so far - symptoms seen are "mostly mild symptoms, and we haven’t seen a spike in hospital admissions."

Let’s all panic and weep over four people with a mild cold in Botswana

This might be the best thing to happen to this pandemic. The rumors are that this virus has mutated so much from COVID that PCR can't recognize it in a lot of cases. Remember, COVID's closest relative is βCov-OC43—the second-leading cause of the common cold. If the two combined to form a more virulent, but far less deadly, virus, that would be what many people predicted would be the endgame to begin with. Pandemics usually don't last more than two to three years or so.

The lack of a spike in hospitalizations coupled with its ability to crowd out Delta might be the saving grace that actually ends the pandemic as we know it.

Viruses typically weaken as they mutate.

Leave Covid the hell alone and it will become a minor nuisance.

Pfizer and Moderna should quietly return their mRNA drugs back to the drawing boards to figure out where they went wrong.

All other drug companies should manufacture and release the therapeutics we already know work.

Enough of this pandemic   :bs:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It would be no surprise if the highly transmissible omicron variant of coronavirus is already in the United States, even though health experts haven't detected it yet, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Saturday morning.

How would Fauci know this soon whether or not it is highly transmissible?

How do they know anything about this supposed variant so soon, let alone what the latest vaccine for it should look like? It's almost like they knew exactly what was coming down the Chinese pike.
