  • Ravina Shamdasani
    Ravina Shamdasani “According to international law, Israel must ensure civilians have access to medical care, adequate food, safe water and sanitation. Failure to meet these obligations may amount to forced displacement, which is a war crime. There are strong indications that this [Rafah offensive] is being conducted in violation of international humanitarian law.” 19 hours ago
  • António Guterres
    António Guterres “I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy. The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and a massive surge in life-saving aid. It is time for the parties to seize the opportunity and secure a deal for the sake of their own people.” 19 hours ago
  • Annalena Baerbock
    Annalena Baerbock “I warn against a major offensive on Rafah. A million people cannot simply vanish into thin air. They need protection. They need more humanitarian aid urgently … the Rafah and Kerem Shalom [Karem Abu Salem] border crossings must immediately be reopened.” 19 hours ago

“We have data out of the UK that suggests that there may be an intrinsic mildness to Omicron as compared to Delta but it's not by a lot, and the hyper contagiousness of Omicron means that even that mildness probably won't protect the health care system. So that is why we have to curtail transmission as much as we can. A tiny fraction of a large number, is still going to be a very large number.”

“Less than 0.1% each of the sequences uploaded to platforms like GISAID have been Alpha, Beta and Gamma. 96% of the sequences available are still Delta. About 1.6% of sequences that have been shared in recent weeks is Omicron. We definitely see increasing growth rates of Omicron where it's been detected and it's now been reported in more than 106 countries to date. There is a combination of factors that we think are leading to this increasing transmission. First are the mutations that are identified in the Omicron variant and we know something about these mutations because some of these are present in other variants of concern. So, for example, in Omicron there are mutations that allow the virus to adhere to the cell more easily and infect the cell more easily. We also see immune escape where we see increasing rates of reinfection. And then there is some preliminary data that's looking at the efficiency and replication of the Omicron variant in the upper respiratory tract as opposed to the lower respiratory tract in the lungs. So this combination of factors is likely leading to why we are seeing increased growth rates in a number of countries.”

“We are learning about this virus after two years, almost two years, and we know that it is inevitable now that most of us in the province will be exposed at some point, the way that this virus is being transmitted, this strain of the virus is being transmitted in communities across the province. It is over time very likely that all of us will have exposure to it. How it affects us depends on our own actions and what we are doing.”

“These authors found Omicron replicates fantastically well - even far better than either Delta or the original virus - in bronchial tissue. This could in some ways contribute to an advantage in spread/transmission between people. Of course, a huge component of Omicron's transmissibility in real life is going to be its potential to escape neutralising antibodies that protect against infect in the first place. It's very likely spreading well even between vaccinated people, especially those who haven't recently gotten a booster shot.”

“In many countries and communities, we are concerned about a false sense of security that vaccines have ended the pandemic, and that people who are vaccinated do not need to take any other precautions. Vaccines save lives, but they do not fully prevent transmission.”

“Quite frankly, some countries are in such a difficult situation now that they're going to find it hard not to put in place restrictive measures at least for a short period of time to reduce the intensity of transmission. Other countries can re-engage with communities around masks, around avoiding crowded spaces, around limiting their contact with others, work from home and many other initiatives and very importantly increasing vaccine coverage in high-risk populations.”

“The U.K. is an outlier, because it does have quite high coverage of vaccination - and is still having 45,000 cases per day. Yet after Britain marked 'freedom day' in July, it was to be expected that there would be a persistence of transmission as opposed to other countries which have maintained much more stringent preventive measures.”

“Firstly, they [the unvaccinated] pose a direct risk of transmission, and while the vaccine is very effective at protecting you from serious illness and death - it's not 100 per cent. Nothing in life is 100 per cent. The second thing that unvaccinated people do is they increase the spread of coronavirus in the population. So if you release restrictions, unvaccinated people contribute substantially more to the growth of transmission in the community.”
