Absolutely. But a small percentage don't. And a small percentage of tens of millions of people is still a pretty big number.

Are you basing that on the original covid strain? The delta strain - c50% less long term implications or the omi variant that could have zero long term issues

Or is this just a generic generalisation ?

Like you, I hope this new strain is milder and we can crack on. But until the data is in, we just don't know. Not to mention that more infections give rise to more mutations and new strains. Usually they evolve to be milder but there's no guarantees.

I agree, so let’s not panic…let’s remain calm & use numbers that are meaningful.
Enjoy your evening

Seeing as Northern Cyprus doesn't exist won't they accept a make believe Covid test to get in there?

Maybe he lost his sense of smell and taste for 3 days? It’s a symptom but doesn’t mean he was ill. My mum lost her sense of smell and taste but was otherwise fine when she had it.

Think you missed the point of what .I was saying there. Which was a joke.
 
Covid caught a cold....,!!.... why cant this virus (theres viruses) be explained to the public like this instead of the way it is currently.. 3 minutes of common sense..

With Covid cases.... how are they differentiating between the new and old variants... the new variant has seemingly little symptom or is the test showing immediately what variant they have...
