Our hyped-up new Covid virus....Omikron....was noted to be found in a German (39 years old) in Saxony. Reported in the AM today.
So here's the curious thing....he hasn't been out of the country, nor has he been in contact with anyone who was out of the country (least he says that).
Explaining this? Nearly impossible.
My humble guess? There's probably some Saxony resident who spent a week or two in South Africa, and returned two weeks ago. Somewhere on a bus, or train, or perhaps the two just passing on the street....the new guy got the Omikron from the traveler. It might have even been at some McDonalds or just fueling up a car at a gas station.
Worrying the feds and state government of Saxony? No doubt.
But here's the thing....the traveler....he's yet to be tested or found. Symptoms? I'm guessing he's showing few if any symptoms, and just sees it as a regular flu situation. Without the loss of smell/taste....his doctor is probably telling him that he doesn't have Covid.
The odds that forty other people will come up shortly from Saxony with Omikron? it's best to just keep quiet and not suggest that.
