With community transmission widespread in the U.K. we are seeing more “home grown cases” than we will import. The red list is only effective if you are doing something to control transmission in your own country, but given that we are not, I don’t think it makes sense anymore.

Updated table of Omicron neuts studies with @Pfizer results (which did the worst job in terms of reporting raw data). Strong discrepancy between studies with live vs pseudo.

#Omicron update from Denmark. Omicron was 3.1% of all cases on the 5th of December. @SSI_dk is releasing daily updates in the link below (in Danish): https://covid19.ssi.dk/virusvarianter/omikron…

a rather worrying development- a (local) newspaper "fact checking" the new German health minister simply by interviewing a virologist who happens to have a different view. There's simply no established "fact" as to the severity of omicron in children at this point in time

“the severity profile of Omicron cases must be interpreted along with an understanding of its capacity to re-infect (and infect the vaccinated)“ This is what I have been trying to explain the last few days. As usual @nataliexdean does it better (and in color)!
