Better to listen to WHO scientists than all the ploiticians, drugs companies, analysts and economists.
This is WHO statement..
GENEVA: The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday (Nov 28) that it is not yet clear if the  new Omicron coronavirus variant  is more transmissible compared to other SARS-CoV-2 variants or if it causes more severe disease.
" Preliminary data suggests that there are increasing rates of hospitalisation in South Africa, but this may be due to increasing overall numbers of people becoming infected, rather than a result of specific infection with Omicron," it said.
However, in a statement, the agency reiterated that preliminary evidence suggests there may be a higher risk of reinfection from the variant.
The WHO said it is working with technical experts to understand the potential impact of the variant on existing countermeasures against COVID-19 disease, including vaccines.
" There is currently no information to suggest that symptoms associated with Omicron are different from those from other variants," the WHO said.
" Initial reported infections were among university studies - younger individuals who tend to have more mild disease -  but understanding the level of severity of the Omicron variant will take days to several weeks," it said.
PCR tests continue to detect infection with Omicron - which was first detected in South Africa earlier this month - and studies are ongoing to determine whether there is any impact on rapid antigen detection tests, the WHO said.

Did they mention its harder to detect? I think the key was they announce vaccine will be ready in a few weeks. It takes the panic away.

The mild symptom makes it worst because it is harder to detect and can spread without knowing ...
If non affairs, many steps forward will be implementing.

Omicron Update
Here&rsquo s a recap of Sunday&rsquo s  Omicron  developments as the new strain continues to panic world leaders.
- Authorities in the  Netherlands  detected at least 13 cases of the Omicron variant from recent flights into Amsterdam from South Africa.
- Botswana, which borders South Africa,  said it has recorded a total 19 Omicron cases.
- The  UK  said it has detected three total Omicron infections in Nottingham, Essex and the London borough of Westminster, with targeted PCR testing being stepped up.
- The  World Health Organisation  urged countries not to impose blanket travel restrictions on southern African countires, amid fears of the economic toll and that the science behind the decisions is not yet certain without further studies.
- South Africa&rsquo s president Cyril Ramaphos said the new variant is a wake-up call for global vaccine inequality and criticised travel bans for their economic fallout.
- European Commission  president Ursula von der Leyen warned of global race against time against Omicron, urging people to practice social distancing and get vaccinated so scientists have time to understand the new variant&rsquo s transmissibility and severity.
- The health ministers of the  G7  will hold an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss the Omicron variant.
- The 194 member states of the  World Health Organization  agreed to launch pandemic treaty negotiations as the world prepares to learn the lessons of Covid for the next pandemic.
- The  US  chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci warned of a potential fifth wave of Covid in  America, as the US vaccination rate slows, cases rise and the Omicron variant looms on the horizon.
- The  UK  reported 37,681 new Covid cases and 51 deaths, with the government vaccine watchdog suggesting the vaccine booster drive could be accelerated as soon as Monday to suppress cases.
- Secondary school pupils and teachers in  England  will wear once again face coverings in communal areas.
- Israel  suspended all flights into the country on Sunday at 10pm GMT after detecting its first Omicron infection on Friday, just four weeks after it fully opened its skies to vaccinated travellers.
- Morocco  said it will stop all incoming flights for two weeks starting Monday to prevent spread of the new strain.
I beg to differ from what you think. If the Omicron is just an afffair then PM Lee wont said that Sg will " TAKE A STEP BACK " ... They know things we dont know. Travel restrictions starts to kick in worldwide
