    ⚠️FIRST #OmicronVariant EUROPE CASE DID **NOT** TRAVEL TO SOUTHERN AFRICA—Tracing details of the Belgium #B11529 case reveals only travel to Egypt🇪🇬 & Turkey 🇹🇷—but not Sub-Saharan Africa at all.

        2) Travel restrictions — many countries implementing them to Southern Africa. But is that enough? This is why international arrival testing + quarantine is likely much better safety net against variant border incursion.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1464314609263951882 …

        3) The two #B11529 cases in Hong Kong were interesting too. The second HK case acquired it from the first traveler from South Africa in hotel quarantine! Both were vaccinated.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1463998740340121601 …

        5) because the Belgian case returned in early November, but we don’t know about #Omicron spread since then, Belgian scientists are now retroactively combing past PCR positives for S-Gene dropout signals (SGTF is a proxy for #B11529)… they have found 47 candidates! More coming.pic.twitter.com/WlA4elJTqF

        7) Omicron has definitely become a problem. Many scientists use even stronger language of concern, and even now advising UK leaders on the same. See below 👇https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1464654720866340864 …

        BREAKING—🇬🇧PM warns: “The #Omicron spreads very rapidly & can be spread between people double vaccinated. There is very extensive mutation—diverges quite significantly from previous, and as a result, might in part reduce the protection of our vaccines over time”. 👀 #BoosterShots pic.twitter.com/ojp4Zq7DAG
