News from South Africa: Most people who contract Omicron do not experience any symptoms.
Omicron news from where they know it best: South Africa. News 24 reports that the Ministerial Advisory Committee wrote to Health Minister Joe Phaahla "recommending that the quarantine of contacts be stopped as it is no longer viable in the current social and economic climate".
The report also notes that "the committee said contact tracing is no longer necessary and should also be stopped with immediate effect."
The report notes that the note stated that " With only a small number of contacts identified from a proportionately small case of Covid-19, quarantine was no longer effective in containing the spread of the disease ."
The note also noted that " the proportion of people with immunity to Covid-19 has increased dramatically … exceeding 60-80% ".
The memo also said that the tests are "highly biased" because most people taking Omicron don't even experience any symptoms.
The memorandum also stated: “ It stands to reason that if the vast majority of cases go undiagnosed, the vast majority of contacts in the case also go undiagnosed. This means that quarantine and contact tracing are of negligible benefit to public health in the South African environment ”.
Consultants have warned of the negative effects of the country closure when the variant does not justify it.
The note states:
“ On an individual level, the consequences of prolonged quarantine include the loss of income, work and school time. We propose that the quarantine be stopped with immediate effect for Covid-19 case contacts. This also applies to vaccinated and unvaccinated contacts. No testing for Covid-19 is required regardless of exposure risk, unless contact becomes symptomatic. We also propose to stop contact tracing ”.
The advice echoes that of South African scientists and officials who have been insisting for days that the mass panic over Omicron, which originated in the country, is useless and dangerous.
In South Africa, therefore, there seems to be the need to return to a normal situation, without lockdown, without pass, without tracking, because it is impossible and because the population is moving towards mass immunity without needing special care. Omicron could be, could, not just another covid-19 problem, but the solution. Except that in Italy now it is pure ideology.
