LONDON — Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday that Britain had registered its first death of a patient with the omicron variant, while U.K. health officials warned that the new version of the coronavirus was spreading at jaw-dropping speed.

It’s possible that this death is the first in the world to be officially tied to the new variant, though that in itself is of limited significance. There may have been others that weren’t genetically sequenced to determine the variant involved.

Omicron could become dominant in some European countries by next week, officials predict

。。。。。。。。。

Speaking to lawmakers in the House of Commons on Monday afternoon, he said omicron would become the dominant variant in London in the next 48 hours. It already represented 20 percent of all new cases in England, with cases doubling every two to three days.

“No variant of covid-19 has spread this fast,” Javid said in Parliament.

 

。。。。。。

On Saturday, Britain reported 633 new confirmed cases of omicron; on Sunday, 1,239; and on Monday, another 1,576, for a total of 4,713 confirmed cases of the variant in the country.

 

Scientists suspect there are in reality 10,000s of new but unreported infections a day.

。。。。。

“A tidal wave of omicron is coming,” Johnson warned. “And I’m afraid it is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need.”
