Omicron cases surge in Australia but limited testing puts people under pressure

Covid-19 latest variant Omicron’s case is rapidly surging in Australia and even though the country is focusing on implementing stricter protocols, the health care system certainly lacks testing laboratories. 

The country registered a record total of nearly 50,000 Covid-19 cases Tuesday of the latest variant and the whole population has been increasingly caught with the virus attack but people who are lining up for tests are ones who are having to suffer. 

The only thing one can take positively from the spread of Omicron is the fact that it is less fatal than the prior variants; however, one cannot deny that it does need extreme precaution as it is highly transmissible. Because of this many people are trying to get their hands on rapid tests. 

The self-administered rapid tests are an easier way to examine if one has a possibility of getting the virus as antigen kits are available in it but again, the reliability factor of an RT-PCR test always is higher. 

People are having to wait in hour-long queues in order to wait for PCR tests in Australia and that is creating a lot of chaos. 

At one point, it seemed that the country had managed to curb the infection rate after it ordered border closures and aggressive testing and tracings but the latest variant is unable to keep up the pace of the limited testing units available in the country.

Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.
