Big media is panicked over the new variant of Covid coming out of Africa. There seems to be some question as to whether or not they should be. Yesterday The Western Journal<\/a> posted an article about the Omicron variant of the virus. I will mention at this point that someone on Facebook this morning pointed out that omicron is an anagram for moronic.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

As panic circles the globe over a new coronavirus variant first reported in South Africa, the doctor who first noticed the variant is asking for a dose of calm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Angelique Coetzee said that the unusual infections she was seeing in her private practice in Pretoria earlier this month presented \u201cunusual but mild\u201d symptoms, according to the Telegraph<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, said it was \u201cpremature\u201d to say the virus was going to mushroom into a global health crisis, according to the Guardian<\/a>. On Friday, the World Health Association dubbed the Omicron<\/a> variant a variant of concern. President Joe Biden then slapped travel restrictions on multiple African countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes the unusual symptoms:<\/p>\n

Coetzee said she would like more people to get vaccinated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, it\u2019s not only the responsibility of the government; it\u2019s the responsibility of the public as well \u2026 You can only ask people so many times to go and get vaccinated, and if you don\u2019t listen, then there\u2019s consequences, and then you have to take the consequences,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said that the patients she treated came from very different backgrounds and had intense fatigue. None had a loss of test or smell. A 6-year-old child she treated had a high pulse rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before,\u201d she said, according to the Telegraph.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coetzee said that after she treated a family of four who tested positive for the virus and had complete exhaustion, she alerted South Africa\u2019s vaccine advisory committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As someone who has recovered from the original coronavirus, I can state that exhaustion was part of the the original virus. It took my husband and I almost two months to get our energy back. Exhaustion is not fun, but if that is the major sympton of the virus, we should be okay. Everyday living in today’s world is exhausting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
