Japan on Tuesday confirmed its first case of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, in a man who had arrived in the country from Namibia.

The man in his 30s had earlier tested positive for the coronavirus at the airport, chief cabinet secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters.

The patient is staying in a medical facility and the government is aware of his close contacts, Matsuno said, declining to give the man's nationality.

Japan shut its borders to foreigners on Tuesday for at least a month, among the strictest measures in the world to halt entry of Omicron, recently discovered in southern Africa and declared a "variant of concern" by the World Health Organisation.

lahat ng bakuna available ngayon can only produce antibodies against wuhan variant

as the virus evolves further and further away from wuhan variant mawawala ang cross-reactivity ng mga antibodies

kahit madami ka antibodies di sila didikit sa spike ng omicron

ung monoclonal antibody drug na nagpagaling kay Trump...

Nov 30 (Reuters) - Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc's (REGN.O) COVID-19 antibody cocktail, and similar drugs, could be less effective against the Omicron coronavirus variant, the company said on Tuesday.

The drugmaker said analysis shows the individual mutations present in the Omicron variant indicate "there may be reduced neutralization activity of both vaccine-induced and monoclonal antibody conveyed immunity".

there are people who became permanently afraid of covid they cannot stand seeing people doing normal things

ganyan din ang media masyado OA

babatikosin ang gobyerno for not doing anything

so mapipilitan ang gobyerno to do something para was batikos

di ung virus ang nakakatakot

mas nakakatakot ang gagawin ng gobyerno in response to public demand / criticism

dahil OA ang publiko, magiging OA ang gobyerno

hindi lang ung knee jerk flight ban ang inaano ko

pag ganyan ang reaction ng mga gobyerno sa bagong variant, ang susunod diyan lockdown

[dr. d]

pag ganyan ang reaction ng mga gobyerno sa bagong variant, ang susunod diyan lockdown

Did the OMICRON variant place all it's mutation eggs in the infectious basket but making COVID mild like the common cold...

Did the OMICRON variant place all it's mutation eggs in the infectious basket but making COVID mild like the common cold... Remember in Japan the Delta burned itself out because most everyone has some kind of immunity.

That means Homo sapiens is winning.

It can't hurt to be optimistic (but not complacent).
