DR HILARY WARNS OF 'TWINDEMIC' OF COVID AND FLU THIS WINTER
A new strain of Covid thought to be even more contagious has been
spotted all over Europe, and experts fear it will continue to spread.
The variant BF.7 has been dubbed the 'Omicron spawn' by scientists, who
have warned that it could become dominant in the next few weeks.
And a top immunologist has warned the upcoming World Cup could make
cases surge, similar to how Delta cases spiked during the Euros last summer.

Professor Denis Kinane, a world-leading immunologist and Founding
Scientist at Cignpost Diagnostics, told the Mirror : "It is hard to
predict when we will see a peak in cases as we do not yet know the full >extent to what is coming this autumn and winter.
"However, with events like the football World Cup taking place in
November, it is likely that the increase in international social
gatherings will lead to an increase in the spread of mutations cases – >similar to the effect of the Euros."

The World Cup is being hosted in Qatar this year, and will take place
across November and December to combat the soaring desert temperatures.
This means football fans in the UK will be watching their countries play
as temperatures begin to drop and the days become shorter.

It's not clear how many cases of BF.7 have been found in the UK because
of a lack of regular testing. However, Belgium has seen the most cases
of the variant so far.
Prof Kinane added: "This new Covid variant spreading quickly in several >countries – it already accounts for 25 per cent of cases in Belgium."
He continued: "Like all new variants, BF.7 only exists as it is more >contagious than existing variants and will also be more effective in >overcoming immune resistance, whether it is natural through prior
infection or artificially via vaccination."
What are the symptoms of the new variant?

The new strain's symptoms are similar to that of the original virus, so
you should still be mindful if you have the following:
High temperature
New, continuous cough
Aching body
Sore throat
Change to sense of smell or taste
Loss of appetite
Prof Kinane also urged those to get their Autumn booster vaccine, if
they can.
He said: "I would encourage those who are eligible for the Autumn Covid >booster jab to take it up at the earliest possibility, and for those not >eligible at present to remain cautious as to the impact that Covid can have.
"With immunity waning over time, it is vital that if a further
vaccination dose is offered, uptake should be swift and across the board
for maximum protection.
"The virus has not disappeared and will continue to mutate. Without the
lack of a baseline surveillance system and the absence of a testing >framework, we have very limited visibility on the virus’ mutation.
"As a result, it is difficult to quickly bring in public health measures
to counter the virus’ constantly mutating nature. Testing is the best
way to study the virus’ behaviour and it is crucial that we retain our >ability to increase testing."
There are around three million unvaccinated people in the UK, with
millions of others not yet eligible for the booster.
And although the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid, it
reduces the risk of hospitalisation.
Prof Kinane also said the scrapping of universal free testing means a
large section of the population will be unaware they have the virus and
we need to remain vigilant to prevent a Winter surge.

He said: "Despite what many think, Covid-19 is still a dangerous and
highly infectious disease.
"Given this, it is important that we remain vigilant and cautious. No
one wants to see a return of lockdowns and restrictions.

"But with three million people in the UK remaining unvaccinated, and the >virus still being a severe threat to vulnerable groups and the >immunosuppressed, we need to take reasonable precautions to prevent a

Prof Kinane urges people to use face masks in enclosed spaces, including
at mass events, and to get tested if we think we are infected.

Shame on andrew, look at his red face.
He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:

81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Proverbs
13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of the wicked is in need.
Joel

Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:
ongoingJohn wrote this to christians. The greek grammer (sic) speaks of an
status. He includes himself in that status.

not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
word isand to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19
) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
