Australia reports 3rd case of Omicron COVID-19 variant

Crikey, mate !!

Both were fully vaccinated, showed no symptoms

Fully vaccinated and showed no symptoms, shows that vaccine is working by not having symptoms.

If anything, it’s suggesting a lesser form of disease, particularly for those who are vaccinated

Get vaccinated!!!

Paul,

I really hope that you are correct. And yes, get vaccinated and get boosted when the time comes.

Fully vaccinated and showed no symptoms, shows that vaccine is working by not having symptoms.

which is actually bad because it makes people who are transmitting the virus think they dont have it.

That has been widely known for a long time. Thankfully PCR tests can detect this variant.

People who are already vaccinated and unknowingly transmitting the virus are likely showing no symptoms because they are vaccinated.

’Likely’ ok? Would you prefer another word?

so its ok to spread the virus as long as it is ”unknowingly" and you are vaccinated?

Thankfully PCR tests can detect this variant.

Do vaccinated people test? or do they just say "im vaccinated" so I dont need to?

I sure see and hear a lot of smug vaccinated people who claim all that is for unvaccinated people not them.

Blacklabel, why have you spent over a year being completely blase about unvaccinated people with no symptoms spreading the virus, but suddenly think that vaccinated people who are infected but asymptomatic is a massive crisis?

If you could provide a reason other than, "I think I'm healthy and don't have the virus", that'd be great, thanks.

Do vaccinated people test?

Yes. All over the world. I don’t know if you’ve been following the news as closely as I have but PCR tests are still a requirement in many places, for everyone.

or do they just say "im vaccinated" so I dont need to?

Maybe. Probably not. Sometimes no choice.

Looks like a olympic competition of brain amputated. Some others keep borders open in their stupidity and take happily in a few omicron bearers, so let’s quickly do the same and also take some. lol

Looks like even the unvaxxed get mild to asymptomatic illness with this one!

let her rip if so and let’s move back to reality!

@Steve Heritage - pull the other one.

Our “sensible precautions” have helped keep our numbers low. As someone who’s been involved in our response the last 12-18 months I can attest to this.
