Omicron has mutate into a weaker variant from Delta variant and hopefully Omicron will again mutate to a very much weaker variant until it has no effect on human anymore.
@StraightUpTruth Usually medical professionals use an unnecessary amount of jargon when explaining things to the public and here we have an experienced Head of our Medical Council being down to earth and communicating in a manner that the man on the street can understand. I appreciate that, hence my pride as an African, since I rarely understand the European or American medics.

Could this mean that the new strains are getting “weaker”, meaning they induce lighter symptoms? This is good news then, the potency of the virus is lessening, with less damaging effects. Immunity increasing.
All virus will attenuate to humans over time, viruses that mutate fast will attenuate faster. But basically means they all learn to live with humans without killing us. This happens with all new viruses at sometime, it’s just a matter of time. This has potential to be that step where the virus lives with us and doesn’t kill, but it’s too early to tell as those with negative outcomes from the disease takes a few weeks to show up. Fingers crossed, but too early to tell.
I watched a very arrogant dr from Canada the other day and he rolled his eyes when he spoke about the research of South Africa. He even said that he will wait for better research from other countries. Does he know that some of the best virologist and epidemiologist are in South Africa and loads of Canada's dr's come from South Africa? Thank you for interviewing to Dr Coetzee, even though her english was running out at the end (all of our afrikaans people have a limited amount of english words per day).
Canada can go to sleep! We are lightyears ahead their state-owned health system! Took them a year to diagnose my sister's cancer after treating her for TB, cause she came from Africa!
I am happy for him and the entire family - any survival (even with damage) is a victory for the good guys. One of the hallmarks of this disease it is that it may be asymptomatic or may crush a victim outright. The man who replaced me when I retired lost both parents and a sister in one week to COVID.

Well, we are being punished with travel restrictions for doing the right thing. Therefore, God is not blessing South Africa. No good Deed goes unpunished whilst the elite fly in private jets and I'm in Africa treated like dirt.
Let's appreciate the wonderful job the South African scientific community was made in order to bring precise and on time awareness about that new virus variant. I wonder if we had the same level of transparency and competency when the thing first knocked the door in Asia, how many lives could be saved.
I dont think anything diffrent would have happened. We were not ready for it. The otherr day I went to the post office for stamps and the queue outside were huddled together, one old age pensioner among the twenty of us standing their was not even wearing a mask. The few busses I have taken were full of people. If I have not got covid its just luck. I have noticed that when peoole go out to the clubs, restaurants, bars and coffee shops, etc. they forget that we are now living in a pandemic.
As long as these cases remain mild and it can outcompete Delta during it's surge, Omicron may be our way out of this pandemic. Best Christmas present ever.
Very recently we have indications the disease may have significant escape for the Pfizer vaccine. With 32 spike mutations there is no surprise there. If true, the door works both ways. The Current strains and the new one may be so different there is little cross-immunity between them. In that case it is just an additional disease... COVID-21, so to speak.
So if the symptoms are easy and we miss it, what's the problem? We see colds and flus every year and nobody makes a fuss about them. How about we start focusing on important things like improving our immune system? Oh wait, lettuce is cheap and doesn't bring money to pharma.
Yup ... almost as silly as being terrified of a needle, comparing vaccines to the tortures and experimentation carried out by the nazis or the other dramatic pearl clutching hysteria that' grown adults have been engaging in lately.
Nope, you don’t have to freak out. You can be a part of the solution and get a vaccine. But I suspect you are pro pandemic. You haven’t done anything to help slow it down, so you are the problem.

They use "mild symptoms" very liberally here. I'm going through it. Worst headache ever. Unbelievable muscle cramps and spasms. Severe pressure behind the eyes... literally felt like my eyeballs would pop out. And then the unrelenting fever. I had to visit the emergency unit this morning, I was terrified and in so much agony. Crazy thing is I got the vaccine but my husband who refused to get the jab just had a fever and headache for a day. Smh
Yesterday I woke up feeling fine. After work was coughing, muscle spasms, body aches and slight headache but I was down for the count. Today I'm coughing less but now stuffy nose. The muscle spasms are going away. Is there any medicine I can take?
My husband is 72, unvaxx, got covid, very sick at home. I ver mec tin knocked it out , never went to hospital. I started the I ver mec tin too, so I could care for him. 3 days I felt weak, but got better. I am 75. Today we are fine. Just saying.
It is worth mentioning that India dropped that from their treatment protocol in September because it simply didn't help when the numbers were analyzed. People get better or die with or without it. Those of us of a "certain age" remember the laetrile controversy in the 1990s. Advocates said it would cure cancers (particularly breast cancer) when nothing else would. When the smoke cleared, after nearly two decades, it was found to be useless. A Law and Order Episode, "Second Opinion," addressed the controversy.
Well I think it's safe to say, our government and so called medical experts, have totally ignored everything this Dr has to say, you have to wonder why 🤔
I live in South Africa and currently have covid. Unvaccinated and I have a headache, sore throat in the morning and body ache. So happy to have natural immunity. I hope the vaccine mandate police give my natural immunity some credit 😀
Hi Claire... So happy for you. I am unvaccinated and since the pandemic, I have never missed work due to illness. I have been taking my vitamins daily, my tuneric ginger and garlic drink and I am okay, I take public transport, always masked and until I get home . I am not planning on getting vaccine and gave reasons in my workplace for my reasons and they respect that.
@@ruthsibasa4944 good for you, I got vaccinated and it’s 3 months and a half that I am bedridden due to adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine including heart inflammation, rib joints inflammation and lymph node inflammation. I’m still being investigated by different doctors. I have been on high dose anti inflammatories with no avail and now I am on corticosteroids and I am getting better. But not back to normal yet. It’s been a nightmare.
The headline of this story should be, 'Omicron variant may be our way out of pandemic' but the Canadian news media really doesn't want to give up the fear mongering.
in the UK the headlines are all saying that it will lead to 50-100k deaths and have more hospitalised than at any point and SAGE saying we should have a lockdown (ie yet another cancelled xmas!). They are pure scaremongering! All the data i have seen is that it is a lot less severe than the covid we have become used to and seems just like any other common illness. They will never let it go. When the next variant appears, it will be just the same (no doubt in time for Easter/people's summer holidays)
Did you forget the nothingburger that was Delta? Remember the ridiculous fearmongering about that back in the spring? COVID deaths in Canada are 11.5% LOWER in 2021 than the were in 2020, despite there being TWICE AS MANY cases this year compared to last year.
Just got through Omnicron. Previouly had Delta, unvaccinated, thus relying on natural immunity. Experienced very mild symptoms. Slight headache one evening, stuffed nose the next, slight fever the next with slight sore throat and troubled stomach the next. Had much worse colds and flu's in the past. At least this time around it was a breeze unlike Delta which was a nightmare. Omnicron for me at least has been mild and uneventfull, luckily.
Caught delta at the end of June 2021. Got quite bad bronchitis from it. Very unpleasant experience, but I could still work from home, I returned to work on day 13. Defs not the worst infection I've ever had. I caught the flu in 2018 during influenza epidemic and got into hospital with seizures from high fever and dehydration. Took me 5 weeks to feel somewhat no normal again. People forget there are other brutal viruses around.
@@NiccoloSeilo how are you feeling today? I just got it this morning and it's very strange. I'm unvaccintaed.

I am 74. Had both Pfizer jabs 5 months ago. On Wednesday I felt funny, irritated and giddy, Thursday the same. Friday woke and chest felt congested. Opened my mouth to say Goodmorning and no sound whatsoever. Symptoms, headache, giddy, cough, no voice and diaree. Went to a Dr he did the swap test and last night I received the news that I sm positive. Been in bed the whole day and not getting worse. So I think I can say: Thanks Pfizer fir my 2 jabs.
This isn’t condescending, how do you know that? Did you contract covid prior to your vaccine? So now you are comparing the symptoms before vaccine and after? If not..how could you possibly know that you wouldn’t have had the same exact symptoms with the vaccine or without it? Genuine question

Gastrointestinal stuff is going around terrible in my town. (In central Florida) I work at a school and hear from tons of families. No one even talks about COVID or those kinds of symptoms anymore.
@@sandijerez6597 hope you start feeling better soon. I think I had the same thing in early 2020 but I wasn't in a group that could get a test so it never got diagnosed. I've had the same gastro symptoms since then too. I recommend drinking coca cola, it has food additive 338 phosphoric acid, which is a nausea and vomit suppressant. It makes me feel a bit better.
Yeah we get a lot of other viral infections compared with covid where I am. That gastro one just hit here. I am wondering how transmissible is covid19 really when everything else going around is running laps around covid even though our covid cases are the highest they have ever been here. It is gonna be a bad flu season this year I can already tell. Way more stuff is hitting us than covid.
Thank you South Africa for producing a variant that could finally get us out of the pandemic. Ironically enough, many doctors we have are from South Africa
How pray tell would Omicron end the pandemic? Humans do don't keep antibodies developed by a coronavirus infection or from a vaccine for coronavirus. The willful ignorance of antivaxxers combined with the greed of big pharma refusing to drop patent restrictions means COVID 19 is here for the duration. Herd immunity in humans is a few generations away
@quinn Dawson It's a super virulent strand with mild symptoms and low fatality rate that dominates the other variants. That is the Golden Buzzer out of this Draconian Quagmire of quacks and charlatans dictating Publuc health policy.
They’re don’t even ask vaccine no more. they only care the negative covid test. When I was traveling, I suspected some countries don’t even check you, but give you negative results and take your money.
The ones who don't bother to get vaccinated, and may be carrying the virus. These people might frequent airports etc as visitors, but might not actually travel anywhere. They could touch door handles, locker doors, washbasins in toilets, hand rails etc.....
All the morons that are still denying Covid, those that say they take vitamins and have strengthened their immunity, the anti maskers with so called certification to not wear a mask(excluding the genuine) and the anti vaxxers. It’s the people around you spreading it.
Not to make light of the situation, but because I have serious allergies, based on this doctor’s description, I could claim to have Omnicron on any given day! This is gonna be a long winter…
Yip, we are not going to know if we have a cold, sinus, allergies or covid. So basically if you are sick you don't go to work and get tested. But I think most people will not even get tested so our numbers are most probable higher than what we are seeing
@@sue-annewalklett7960 if it is the case that it's only mild cold like symptoms then this pandemic will surely end when people stop testing. The pandemic status is driven by case numbers at this stage.
I'm pretty sure I had the omicron variant... Because my truck didn't start for a couple days. My dog had diarrhea. My roof leaked, my coffee pot stopped working. My Amazon shipment was late and I sneezed once. That omicron variant is rough, beware!
this is the beginning of the endemic phase. It has mutated to become more transmissible and less virulent. Light at the end of the tunnel (tho not there yet).
I still don't understand why no media outlet is talking Japan's variant that literally `committed suicide`, disappearing in a few days after peak of the wave.
Same, i was really thirsty too and not hungry all the time but other than that i was ok, my dad on the other hand cut it reeaaal close from kicking the bucket 😥
I had COVID twice, supposedly bare on the rapid test. The first time I had no symptoms whatsoever. The second time, I had a little headache/cough. I lost sense of smell but not completely. I could still eat, still taste. I was a bit tired, oxygen was good, no temperature. Lasted about 3 days, fully recover in about 1 month. PRAISED JEHOVAH
how long until taste came back? I caught covid 10 days ago for the first time ever. I had night sweats, body aches, headache. those went away in 3 days but it's been 4 days now and I have 0 taste or smell.
@@goodluck I can't remember exactly, but it was about 10-14 days. My smell came back enough that I can smell now, but it's weak and some scents are not the same. Husband's came back normal and daughter's came back normal, except different scents. It's been over a year now and still the same.
Hell No!! United people we must be. These progressive globalists are very dangerous. Funny thing is they don’t even try to hide their evil intentions very much. Deny with a small lie and repeat till the sheep believe
Thank you, Dr. Not coughing; but head and body aches. Instant test can catch it AFTER 24 hours. I'm vaccinated, but I hear we have it, too (San Diego, California, USA) and that's helpful information. So far, everyone here that caught Omicron is only mildly sick, hope it stays that way. We're usually looking for cough and fever, not head and body pain. I appreciate the heads up South Africa on different symptoms to look for. Very happy that vaccine companies are sending doses your way. We are in this together.
Guys I had COVID-19 and likely Omicron I had mild symptoms, it’s really close to common cold. Yet still have tastes and smell. If you will ever have COVID, you wish its the Omicron variant.
My mom has two doses of Pfizer. She recently contracted Omicron. She had a sore throat in the morning, followed by a headache middle of the day, and a fever at night. She treated each symptom with a medicine as they appeared. The second day she developed sneezing and cough, altho mild. As she was getting better, she had a sudden relapse. Her entire body suddenly felt like burning from the inside. She felt nausea. Fatigue. And entire body aches. She almost fainted and wanted us to call an ambulance. She managed to take a rest and calm down her body. Third day is today. She seem better. She is the only one in our house who is sick so far. We were isolating ourselves from her since we learned she got exposed last week.
Preliminary reports indicate that Omicron is more transmissible than Delta but has milder symptoms. If that turns out to be the case then maybe we should be encouraged about the Omicron variant. If Omicron takes over from Delta then all the antivaxxers can contract the disease but not die from it which would be a huge win.
Public Health Agency of Canada data published Dec. 3, 2021. 2020 = 15,787 deaths out of 588,939 COVID cases (2.68% overall fatality rate) 2021 = 13,970 deaths out of 1,213,420 COVID cases (1.15% overall fatality rate) So, despite despite the supposedly more dangerous Delta variant and despite TWICE AS MANY cases, deaths were 11.5% LOWER in 2021 than in 2020. Guess what? Delta was a nothing burger. If you thought it was anything else, they you have been deceived.
Actually if this the case then society must open up and drop all mandates....anything less makes it obvious governments are using this to further other agendas
Thanks for the update; hopefully this will be the dominant strain and become less dangerous so let’s pray for the best as more data is gathered in the coming weeks.
She doesn't have enough data to say that definitely only in the patients observed. She didn't say how many were vaccinated vs unvaccinated. South Africa's has a population of 60 Million and only 24% are fully 2 dosed vaccinated. They have enough vaccine to vaccinate everyone but majority do not want it. She has said before, they are seeing reinfections in people recovered from Covid, so Omicron is managing to get passed natural recovered infection antibodies. No one can say at this point that the vaccines are holding up at all. If you hear that at this point, the person has a bridge to sell you.
Well I think it varies, I’m unvaccinated and can definitely say the 1st time I got covid was horrible, severe headache, diarrhea. This time around I got mild headache, myalgia ,sore throat and runny/blocked nose which resolved on day 2 and only the blocked nose persisted. Might be more transmissible but less severe or maybe natural immunity is doing it’s job. 🤷🏽♀️ either way, I refuse to be afraid of covid.
Absolutely PCR is a research use only tool it is not a diagnostic tool, when they want to find something they simply increase the cycles they run it at.And there you go asymptomatic .
@Thought Criminal I like wearing masks actually. In Japan it has become very fashionable. All colors and designs . Hahahahaha Even fragranced ones as well . I like the mint fragranced masks . But …. Japan has always worn masks , even before the pandemic. It’s expected to wear it whenever you caught a cold , as well as during hay fever season or whenever air pollution is bad .
@@Brenda90210 I will always wear a mask around others from now on👍. I love the mint mask idea!! I will make one myself with organic essential oils 😉 Stay well from Delaware ❤️
OH MY GOODNESS, PANIC PANIC! The symptoms are of lesser intensity than Delta! We are all going to die of something that is less dangerous than the earlier variants. Those coming into surgery? Really? Panic Panic Panic. Tell us what to do, where we are allowed to go, what we are allowed to eat! Please, save us. We are all so helpless.
so I guess all these little symptoms through the years we usually getting due to stress/fatigue i.e "cold, headaches, migraines and body aches" will now be considered as a Coronavirus patient but with a much infectious and deadly reaction
Title should be: Omicron more transmissible but less dangerous than Delta.
Last half doesn’t fit the narrative.

Could this mean that the new strains are getting “weaker”, meaning they induce lighter symptoms? This is good news then, the potency of the virus is lessening, with less damaging effects. Immunity increasing.
All virus will attenuate to humans over time, viruses that mutate fast will attenuate faster. But basically means they all learn to live with humans without killing us. This happens with all new viruses at sometime, it’s just a matter of time. This has potential to be that step where the virus lives with us and doesn’t kill, but it’s too early to tell as those with negative outcomes from the disease takes a few weeks to show up. Fingers crossed, but too early to tell.
Yes that is a very good news however being viruses they are unpredictable. But the infectivity is still high.
It’s not in the best interest of the virus to kill all of their hosts
@@Dee_Cee227 Yes, smart way to say it. Cannot eradicate all your hosts.

Omicron may be our way out of this pandemic.

Very recently we have indications the disease may have significant escape for the Pfizer vaccine. With 32 spike mutations there is no surprise there. If true, the door works both ways. The Current strains and the new one may be so different there is little cross-immunity between them. In that case it is just an additional disease... COVID-21, so to speak.

At least this time around it was a breeze unlike Delta which was a nightmare. Omnicron for me at least has been mild and uneventfull, luckily.
Caught delta at the end of June 2021. Got quite bad bronchitis from it. Very unpleasant experience, but I could still work from home, I returned to work on day 13. Defs not the worst infection I've ever had.

I had mild symptoms, it’s really close to common cold. Yet still have tastes and smell. If you will ever have COVID, you wish its the Omicron variant.
My mom has two doses of Pfizer. She recently contracted Omicron. She had a sore throat in the morning, followed by a headache middle of the day, and a fever at night.
She treated each symptom with a medicine as they appeared.
The second day she developed sneezing and cough, altho mild.
As she was getting better, she had a sudden relapse.

Preliminary reports indicate that Omicron is more transmissible than Delta but has milder symptoms. If that turns out to be the case then maybe we should be encouraged about the Omicron variant. If Omicron takes over from Delta then all the antivaxxers can contract the disease but not die from it which would be a huge win.
Public Health Agency of Canada data published Dec. 3, 2021.
2020 = 15,787 deaths out of 588,939 COVID cases (2.68% overall fatality rate)
2021 = 13,970 deaths out of 1,213,420 COVID cases (1.15% overall fatality rate)
So, despite despite the supposedly more dangerous Delta variant and despite TWICE AS MANY cases, deaths were 11.5% LOWER in 2021 than in 2020.
Guess what? Delta was a nothing burger. If you thought it was anything else, they you have been deceived.

@@primmakinsofis614 of course there are less deaths this year. The vaccines have saved millions of lives.
Well, said Dr Coetzee! RSA showing the 🌎 how it's done ✔👏
So let me get this straight, if I’m vaccinated, mild symptoms. If I’m unvaccinated, more intense mild symptoms. This vaccine is working wonders.
You can decry it all you want. The vaccine has brought the UK hospitalisation rate down from 37'000 a year ago, to 7500 now.
The vaccine works 😒🙄
Thanks for the update; hopefully this will be the dominant strain and become less dangerous so let’s pray for the best as more data is gathered in the coming weeks.
The doctor is not going with the script QUE THE GRAVES!
😂😂
Who even cares anymore.
They just can't bring themselves to say it isn't dangerous. They are so deep in their own dogmatic sinkhole, no light can be seen.
Thank you Dr. Coetzee for sharing what differences you see between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
Yes exactly!
She doesn't have enough data to say that definitely only in the patients observed. She didn't say how many were vaccinated vs unvaccinated. South Africa's has a population of 60 Million and only 24% are fully 2 dosed vaccinated. They have enough vaccine to vaccinate everyone but majority do not want it. She has said before, they are seeing reinfections in people recovered from Covid, so Omicron is managing to get passed natural recovered infection antibodies. No one can say at this point that the vaccines are holding up at all. If you hear that at this point, the person has a bridge to sell you.
@@janmac218 SA also has about 20million illegal immigrants that are not counted in the census...so our % of those vaccinated are much lower than 25%
Well I think it varies, I’m unvaccinated and can definitely say the 1st time I got covid was horrible, severe headache, diarrhea. This time around I got mild headache, myalgia ,sore throat and runny/blocked nose which resolved on day 2 and only the blocked nose persisted. Might be more transmissible but less severe or maybe natural immunity is doing it’s job. 🤷🏽♀️ either way, I refuse to be afraid of covid.
You tested positive both times???
You tested positive both times?
You have been Poisoned
Same. Now seeing this video and reading the comments I believe I contracted it earlier this week. Not sure though because I tested "negative".
@@isabellasophiarose1100 yes, that’s how I knew it was covid.
*Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR test:* "With PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody." And that's how you create a "pandemic".
Yet we do em weekly at work and nothing....
Too bad that he died 6 months before the world went crazy. Imagine what he would be saying if he were alive today.
I had a PCR test once before covid they found pertussis, I found it incredibly uncomfortable.
Absolutely PCR is a research use only tool it is not a diagnostic tool, when they want to find something they simply increase the cycles they run it at.And there you go asymptomatic .
Oh nooo not a severe headache, please, I'll take an extra aspirin 👍
@Thought Criminal I like wearing masks actually. In Japan it has become very fashionable. All colors and designs . Hahahahaha Even fragranced ones as well . I like the mint fragranced masks . But …. Japan has always worn masks , even before the pandemic. It’s expected to wear it whenever you caught a cold , as well as during hay fever season or whenever air pollution is bad .
😁😁
@@Brenda90210 I will always wear a mask around others from now on👍. I love the mint mask idea!! I will make one myself with organic essential oils 😉 Stay well from Delaware ❤️
STOP SENDING THIS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!!🤬
OMICRON + DELTA = MEDIA CONTROL
Omicron affects the Bronchus where the other variants attack the lungs. This seems to be why it is much more transmissable yet much less deadly.
Why the random clip of the cemetery at 2:51? You guys aren't slick.
OH MY GOODNESS, PANIC PANIC! The symptoms are of lesser intensity than Delta! We are all going to die of something that is less dangerous than the earlier variants. Those coming into surgery? Really? Panic Panic Panic. Tell us what to do, where we are allowed to go, what we are allowed to eat! Please, save us. We are all so helpless.
so I guess all these little symptoms through the years we usually getting due to stress/fatigue i.e "cold, headaches, migraines and body aches" will now be considered as a Coronavirus patient but with a much infectious and deadly reaction
