COVID experts in Norway say that Omicron variant being highly transmissible but âmilderâ could prove to be the âbest scenarioâ because it would boost ânatural immunityâ and bring the end of the pandemic closer.
The countryâs state epidemiologist Frode Forland was responding to news of the biggest Omicron outbreak outside of South Africa, which occurred at an Oslo Christmas party.
âAs many as 120 people who attended the Louise Restaurant and Bar on the night of November 26th have now tested positive for coronavirus, about half of whom have screened positive for omicron, with 13 of those proven to have the variant in sequencing,â reports the Telegraph.
Oslo infectious disease doctor Tine Ravlo revealed, âThey have symptoms like fever, cough, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, but for now, none of them has become severely ill, and none of them have been treated in hospital.â
This is positive news according to Forland because it clearly indicates the variant âwould be both very mild and very transmissible.â
âThat is the hope. That is the best scenario we can have,â he said. âThat itâs getting minder, most people will get it, and they will get a natural immunity.â
âIt might be that it has now replicated and mutated so many times that this is the optimal position from the virusâ point of view, to spread widely and not kill the hosts,â added Forland.
âThatâs what weâve seen with other diseases beforehand. And of course, then it gets into more like an endemic phase,â he concluded.
The position of experts in Norway is mirrored by the CEO of South Africaâs largest private healthcare network, who asserted that the Omicron variant is âso mildâ that it âmay signal the end of COVID-19.â
According to Richard Friedland, chief executive officer of Netcare Ltd., the Omicron variant is âhighly contagious, but doesnât cause severe disease. Thatâs what happened with Spanish flu.â
âSo I actually think there is a silver lining here and this may signal the end of Covid-19,â he added.
