First confirmed case in US bring Dow down 550 points with Crude turning negative ...Out of the 3 important things about Omicron ...two can be inferred pretty surely
First its more contagious then Delta ....Second vaccines will have substantially lower efficacy ...
Most important part left is that will it be MILDER then Delta in sickness ?? Next few days ...maybe 10 or so will confirm all 3
South Africa ....Monday 2250 cases ....Tuesday 4450. ....Wednesday ...8600 cases ....Will take time to know if hospitalisations rising or not ...most likely it will do similar things as other variants as it attacks respiratory system ...but our only hope left is that its less potent then Delta in making people sick .

And whats the vaccination rate in South Africa and Africa in general? I heard 10%
According to this 24.11% fully vaxxed, 4.64% partly vaxxed.

At this moment its not the question of vaccination rate ...as after 3rd Delta wave ...infections were petering out on its own accord ...now with this new variant they have again started picking up ...change in trend is of the essence here .
Reason why countries are so worried about this ...as they cannot afford another wave and then another round of vaccinations specific to this variant and then so on
Thats whats spooking markets ...loss of hope of normalcy soon .
yea slow growth and high inflation :scared: crash crash crash
I see the NZD has taken a major dump in it's pants over the last day. It's seeping out and running down the inside of its leg. Everyone can see it. Embarrassing 😬
I don't know what this means at this stage but I can't look away. I guess it could add to our imported inflation. But that's a good thing right? We've been told for years that we need inflation. Wouldn't it be great to hit 7 per cent inflation this quarter!!
