https://qz.com/2095354/what-are-the-symptoms-of-the-omicron-variant/amp/The South African doctor who first identified the omicron variant that is spreading in the country and abroad has described the symptoms as she observed them in her patients, stating that the strain is so far producing very, very mild effects in them.
Dr Angelique Coetzee told BBC News that she had first noticed the symptoms in a young, male patient around the age of 30 whom she normally knew to be very healthy. He was extremely tired as well as having body aches and pains with a bit of a headache, a scratchy rather than sore throat, and no cough or loss of taste or smell, she said. The doctor was speaking about her experience of a small group of patients, and not making general comments about how all patients will experience it.
What are the symptoms of the omicron variant?
Coetzee tested the man for covid-19 and found him to be positive, then tested his family and found them all to have the virus, despite showing only very, very mild symptoms, she said.
For the rest of the day, people kept presenting at her surgery with similar symptoms, and all tested positive. Noticing that the symptoms seemed to differ from the delta variant, which had hitherto been the most prevalent form of covid globally, she alerted the countrys vaccines committee, of which she is a member. They announced their resultant discovery of the omicron variant a few days later.
Perhaps reassuringly for those who are worrying about this new development, Coetzee noted that none of the cases she knew of were serious. What we are seeing clinically in South Africa, and remember that Im at the epicenter, thats where Im practicing, is extremely mild We havent admitted anyone [to hospital]. I spoke to other colleagues of mine: The same picture, she told the BBC.
However, she did caution that the picture might change in the next weeks.
Found a great roasting pan for holiday cooking at IKEA today
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/koncis-roasting-pan-with-grill-rack-stainless-steel-10099053/Had been looking all over after replacing the old one. It got burnt and started peeling so I chucked it last week.
Went to Marshalls, TJX and Macys and all had similar pans with one feature I didnt want: non-retractable handles.
I need the retractable handles to store the pan after use in the bottom drawer of the stove under the oven. The non-folding handle pans dont fit.
Anyhewww. The best thing is this pan is only $8.99!!!
Cant go wrong with this.
I love a bargain.
Today was a good day.
Will an innocent man be executed today? 🙏🏽
https://innocenceproject.org/julius-jones-death-row-oklahoma-what-to-know/Updated on Nov. 3, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. ET: Oklahomas Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-1 to recommend clemency for Julius Jones on Nov. 1. The recommendation to commute Mr. Jones death sentence to life in prison with the possibility of parole now goes to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt for consideration.
Mr. Jones is still scheduled to be executed on Nov. 18.
Mondays recommendation from the board reaffirmed its recommendation following a previous hearing on Sept. 13, 2021.
The following text has been updated to reflect the most recent developments.
Julius Jones has been on death row in Oklahoma for 19 years for a 1999 murder hes always said he had no part in. Mr. Jones, who is represented by federal attorneys Dale Baich and Amanda Bass, was convicted and sentenced to death at the age of 19 and has now spent half his life in prison, waiting to be executed for a crime that new and compelling evidence suggests he didnt commit.
More than 6.3 million people, and counting, have signed a petition supporting Mr. Jones in his fight to prove his innocence in the killing of Paul Howell, a businessperson, in Edmond, Okla.,
Despite this, Mr. Jones execution has been scheduled for Nov. 18. His is one of seven people facing execution in Oklahoma in the next six months. If carried out, they will be the first executions to take place in Oklahoma since 2015, after a series of botched executions resulted in a statewide moratorium.
60 Minutes says the shipping crisis started with quarantine
IOW while TFG reigned.
Not a peep from the media then but now were firehosed with the story daily.
Once again it highlights RW media collusion.

All the yeah-buters line up at the back.
The REPUBLICAN billionaire-owned media makes up shit on the daily
and too many readily take it and run without question. Not a day goes by that some dont mention that here.
Yet, tonight political cannibals are feasting on their own party based on the propagandist medias bullshit fairytales about rigged elections.
Theyre so comfortable telling half truths and outright fucking lies and so used to their hacked audiences' failures to question them, theyre now rinsing and repeating them with lockstep instantaneous analyses (white women are the blame Democrats didnt turn out ...).
Until you get reliable information--if thats even possible--stop the fucking attacks on Democrats based on information from known liars and obfuscators.
CPD union threats
CPD union head John Cantanzara* threatened repeatedly that police would walk en masse leaving the city unprotected if vaccine mandates were enforced. He gave the unvaxxed police instructions through the media to seek other employment such as driving Uber if they were dismissed. (The POS media even went to small town police departments in places like Wisconsin to have them say on camera that they wouldnt help if Chicago police were dismissed even though Chicago asked no other areas for help.)
Lightfoot and the administration have subsequently selectively dismissed individual violators randomly--making timing unpredictable and, most importantly, taking the fuel out of the unions fire to walk en masse. Cantanzaras recent response was to say that all the violators should be dismissed at once. The pronouncement just made him look powerless since the union cannot determine how management manages and it highlights the unions inability to direct the workforce.
So kudos to Lightfoot for turning the unions threats and bravado around into embarrassment.
* - The local media seems to shove a mic in this guys face every chance they get. He seems to get more press than the mayor. Why union people support Magats is baffling.
