A South African expert announced on Tuesday that the country had passed the peak of the fourth wave of Covid-19 infections.
Associate Professor Marta Nunes added that although the number of infections remained high, hospitalisations were low.
Scientists in South Africa first sounded the alarm about the Omicron variant less than a month ago.
"Well I think it indicates that we have passed the peak of the fourth wave, so I think it was a short wave that, we predicted that when we start seeing really the huge amount of cases, so the, was a very steep increase from baseline to the first week, you know the last week of November we were really seeing a lot of cases. So we predicted it that this wave was going to be quite narrow and I think that's what we are seeing, the decrease in cases" said the University of the Witwatersrand academic.
Although average new daily cases of Covid-19 have been surging since mid-November, severity and hospitalisations did not follow the same trajectory.
"We see a huge number of infections but when we look at the hospitalisations and other severity markers for disease we don't really see that much severe cases with omicron, so I think it's really telling us good news that was not that very severe because the peak has already passed on", assures Prof. Marta Nunes.
In Europe, the World Health Organization’s top official urged governments on Tuesday to prepare for a “significant surge” in coronavirus cases across the continent due to the omicron variant, which is already dominant in several countries.
They have scientists in South Africa?
Yeah, Ok.. like Mexico has an air force right?
Mark my words that Biden will use the DUD Omicron to say he and the Democrats actions have beaten COVID!
And DemocRATS weep!
Well, the South African scientists did pin down the variant and have been saying all along that it’s nothing more than a cold
Perhaps you might want to amend your statement.
Democrats saddened
Well they obviously don’t know about the winter of death and suffering the miscreant selfish unvaxxed are in for. Just wait until they stick that home test swab up their nose. Instant positivity results. I heard raggedy jen say that there would be a limit of 4 home test kits due to the high demand. I might order some so I can through them in the trash.
Are you familiar with South Africa? That is a ridiculous statement.
Well, yeah. Everything that unstable a-hole says is ridiculous. Please don't feed the trolls.
They need an air force. Remember when L. Ron Hubbard invaded Mexico?
Sadly, they seem better than our scientists today.
South Africa has some of the best virologists in the world.
Fauci will say the booster did.
Sure they do.
Learned it from they mama's knee, chewin' on oncle Jambata's thighbone.
56 minutes but worth the watch. This guy is at the center or the storm in SA. While fauci wants you to get booster after booster this guy is treats people with great success with HCQ, Ivermectin, anti-histamines & aspirin.
They ask him “What do you say to someone you diagnose with omicron?”
His answer? “I generally congratulate them!”
Dr. Shankara Chetty Interview: All You Need to Know about the Omicron
Posted on December 21, 2021 by covexit
In this interview with internationally renowned Dr. Shankara Chetty from South Africa, we discuss the Omicron variant, which is taking the world as a storm. Is this variant to be feared, or could it actually be a positive development in this pandemic, as mostly inducing mild disease, yet conferring post-covid natural immunity. These are among the timely and critically important aspects we discuss.
Dr. Chetty is a Family General Medical Practitioner in South-Africa, with considerable experience with the outpatient treatment of COVID-19, having treated so far nearly 8,000 patients, in his outpatient practice, without any of them requiring hospitalization or even oxygen.
Dr. Chetty holds a degree in medicine and surgery and also has advanced education in genetics, advanced biology, biochemistry and microbiology.

Very interesting; so most patients do fine on days one through seven and seem recovered, day eight is really the red/green light depending on whether there is hypersensitivity to the spike protein triggering a hyper-inflammation reaction. He said he uses anti-histamines, steroids, cimetidene, zinc/D/C, and Quercetin for those who do if I heard correctly.
Wasn’t the first successful heart transplant achieved in South Africa.....Dr. Christian Bernhard if I’m not mistaken.
Yes. And some excellent medical facilities (private not public). Remember they premiered heart transplants. So maybe this is the mark of a decline in chicomm crud.
US experts should be able to milk at least a few more months out of this variant until the truth emerges and govt dictates scaled back.
As for air force, or military forces of any kind—be certain Mexico, whatever there exists, is superior to S African marxist imbued political organization known locally as the military.
