one that has to be mentioned in terms of the reaction to need detection of this variant in botswana and south africa. the latest figures show there is arise in south africa. it's not quite clear yet how many of those people infected have the new variant. but scientists have said that's likely what is driving the surgeon numbers in south africa. so that's one i had about 19 infections authorities. they say that all the cases were mild, and some of the people who were infected have since recovered this little else coming out from other countries in southern africa. but in africa in west africa in particular, we do know that the army con, via into variant, has been detected in both nigeria and ghana. and as we've heard previously, that it's likely that this variance is present in many countries. and that goes back again to south africa transparency in terms of the work sciences have done a working on this particular very and saying that it's been, it's been found in south africa and trying to create a global response around what happens next for me to thank you so much for me to deliver ou

consider the nation of botswana, a landlocked country in southern africa about the size of france. yesterday, officials reported that two people may possibly have died from the omicron variant. now it's true that many more people in botswana died yesterday from malaria, aids, drowning, car crashes, domestic disputes and also because in the end, human beings tend to get old and die. statistically, that is a valid observation but it does not lessen the existential terror of knowing that it exists. as the chairman of the federal reserve announced yesterday. angst is omicron and not at all due to the criminally reckless decisions he has made personally, thanks to omicron, our economy is going to be terrible for a long time. and we are definitely going to need a lot of mail-in ballots in the coming midterm elections for your safety. and vaccines, we will need a lot more vaccines. in addition to the two you've already had, you will need a third vaccine at least. pfizer's orders. watch. >> with the new variant sweeping the globe, how do we put an end to this pandemic? how do we save lives

and botswana's president is clear his country isn't the origin.nybody knows. there were four diplomats who came in from whom the variant was established and there was another workshop, and from among those in that workshop with people coming from various countries, european among them, but i don't know the specific european country to be precise, but there have been persons, at least one was from the us and there were some from european countries who had come and some we know the epicentre of the omicron variant is neighbouring south africa. scientists there are getting a better idea of how infectious — and dangerous — it is. early hospital data suggests that while the risk of reinfection with omicron is higher — symptoms appear to be milder. if we take gauteng — south africa's most populated province — as an example. dr angelique coetzee was the first doctor in south africa to spot omicron. she's told me what she's learnt since her discovery. what we have learned of this variant is it is highly transmissible. is it more than delta? that is still

since the 1st cases were found in botswana, it should not surprise us. this is what viruses do. and it's what despite has been continued to do as long as we allow it to continue spreading, but remains unknown about omicron. we don't know how infectious it is, although there is a strong likelihood that it is more infectious than delta. we don't know how sick it will make people with that has been studied furiously right now across the world . pharmaceutical companies are working to tweak the existing vaccines to give people protection from oma kron. in the meantime, the biden administration has ramped up testing capability nationwide, and is even more strongly urging on vaccinated people to get the sharp season. the best protection against army kron is getting a booster shot right now. about a 135000000 americans are eligible for booster. but only about 40000000 have gotten one thus far. countries including the u. s. japan e u members and the u. k. have all imposed travel restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of omicron, but as the world knows all too well, the virus recog

scientists in botswana say the omicron strain, which was first detected in a number of southern africanthan a week ago had probably been in circulation since september. health officials there, say it could already have spread widely around the world before other countries started to impose travel bans. i'm joined now byjonathan dushoff, from the south african centre for epidemiology modelling and analysis. thank you very much forjoining us, jonathan. my first question is regarding what pots want to have said — does that sound about right, that omicron was circulating for possibly two months —— botswana? i have no reason to doubt it. i haven't reviewed those reports today. i've been busy up until now studying what we know about how it's been spreading through south africa. 0k, been spreading through south africa. ok, well, let's have a look at south african itself — how is what has been described as the fourth wave going? been described as the fourth wave i oin i ? ,, ., been described as the fourth wave iioin ? , been described as the fourth wave ioiin? , going? so, the thing we see mos

the strain was discovered by south can. scientists in the 1st case was identified in neighboring botswana. zambia is the latest country on the continent to detect it has been found in at least $41.00 other countries and territories, including the us, mexico and canada. in europe, belgium, the netherlands, and germany with some of the 1st nations to report cases of the new strain. it's also been detected in the gulf in countries such as saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, as well as parts of asia, india, singapore, and malaysia are some of the countries to report cases of micron. the variance has also been detected in other south eastern and east asian countries and further away in australia, 13 cases of micron have been found there and more are being investigated. the world health organization says no death of a crime had been reported so far. and vaccines continue to offer protection against the variant, but in south africa, on the chrome, as well as the delta variance is fueling a 4th wave, and the government is scaling up its vaccination campaign to meet mila has more for us now

because what happened in south africa, as i understand and in botswana, scientists were very open, veryransparent and immediately told the world, look, we have this new variant? >> we are concerned about that and obviously the scientists in south africa and botswana should be congratulated for not acting in a secret way, for sharing information in a timely manner. the chilling effect, the concern we have in relation to that is it may deter other scientists in other parts of the world -- there's currently debate in parts of southern africa how much information you should be sharing with the rest of the world. the more concerning thing is it's leading to vaccine hesitancy because there's a sense amongst the communities in which we work in that if our vaccines are not going to be accepted, some are fully vaccines and double shot of the pfizer vaccine, if that will not be accepted for the purposes of traveling to the global north, our pcr results not accepted, we say why bother vaccinating if we're only going to be isolated and not even be allowed to enter your jurisdiction? >> there is a l
