Okay as an experiment here it is. Discuss your favourite generals here!
Well perhaps… Really this is simply the place to post news-items, fun-items or whatever takes your fancy. In short just post what you want here.
It’s just another wee experiment – comments welcome.
Squonk.

So in the UK the dominant virus is no longer vanilla Omicron (BA.1) with BA.1.1 likely having crossed the 50% of samples in the last few days. The defining mutation of BA.1.1 is R346K in the spike which is thought to further escape prior immunity. But if that wasn’t enough we’ve now got even weirder Omicron BA.2 seemingly growing even faster than BA.1.1 and likely at over 10% of current UK sequences based on rate of growth from backdated sequencing.
Nobody seems quite sure about the specific advantages BA.2, which differs in many mutations from BA.1, has just yet but it is already the dominant strain in Denmark.
So to sum up UK we’ve apparently got a declining BA.1 wave and simultaneous growing waves of BA.1.1 and BA.2 – BA.1.1 has the head start but BA.2 is catching up fast.
New cases in Denmark, where BA.2 is now dominant, are so high you can barely see the previous waves.
South Africa positivity going back up and Gauteng seems to be leading the way. The question is will this just be a smaller wave of BA.2 so soon after BA.1 or does it rocket up again?

Deleted the last Israel tweet because although cases were correct it seems Israel announced a load of backdated deaths making the daily announced death count enormous.
Two B-52 bombers took off from RAF Fairford then flew over Trowbridge. I wish he was here to see it.

At least we needn’t worry about a slow death from radiation as we will all be drowned. Ireland totally fucked as well.
