Genome testing of Covid positive children

Basis South Africa data, The hospitalisation rate for kids and young people with Omicron may be as high as 30%—if not higher—if we have just 10,000 cases in young people with a hospitlisation rate of just 5% that's already 500 kids and young people who need hospital.

As soon as omicron cases are identified among children we have to act fast and close the schools immediately as well as all the other measures. R0 is 20 for this virus: that's 6x higher than Wuhan and 2.4x higher than Delta

There should be special focus on genome testing of covid positive children. LocalCircles must escalate this. more

The announcement is a gimmick to target kids after they have failed to convince every adult. African continent pharma could not capture the adults so they want to spread corona through kids. Is the biggest scam of mankind wherein big pharma has pumped money into governments and government is their salesman. Flu vaccine they could not sell but to some dumb Americans. This way they have captured the world by spreading diseases continuously as they inject manufactured poisons into human body. Is against basics of science intended to enslave mankind. more

1. First thing that should be done is TO CLOSE SCHOOLS IMMEDIATELY. We should not wait for Omicron to get spread i schools. 2. All adults MUST GET VACCINATED IMEDATELY, so that the6 do not catch the virus easily. This would anyway help ids for NOT GETTING INFECTED. 3. People like Kejriwal should e jailed for not following rules. Delhi IDIOT should stop voting for AAP again and again. This has caused NO DEVELOPMENT in Delhi and that makes absolutely no difference to Kejriwal. more
