The global risk from the new Omicron coronavirus variant is “very high”, the World Health Organization warned, as Japan moved to ban foreign visitors in an attempt to limit the spread of the heavily mutated strain. 6park.com 世界卫生组织警告称,新的Omicron变种带来的全球风险“非常高”。日本已采取措施禁止外国游客入境,以限制这种严重突变的病毒株的传播。 6park.comOutlining its preliminary findings on the strain first detected in southern Africa, the health body warned of its potentially “severe consequences”, as scientists raced to understand the effect of its multiple mutations on the severity of disease and its effect on natural and vaccine-caused immunity. 6park.com该卫生机构概述了其对首次在非洲南部发现的这一病毒株的初步研究结果,警告说它可能会造成“严重后果”,因为科学家们正在急于了解其多种突变对疾病严重程度的影响,以及它对自然免疫和疫苗免疫的影响。 6park.comAnecdotal reports that emerged from South Africa over the weekend appeared to suggest that the disease produced milder symptoms although scientists stressed it was too early to tell. Officials and scientists have said it would take at least two weeks to produce reliable data on immune responses to Omicron. 6park.com上周末从南非传来的传闻似乎表明,该疾病产生的症状较轻,尽管科学家们强调现在判断还为时尚早。官员和科学家们表示,至少需要两周的时间才能产生关于对Omicron的免疫反应的可靠数据。 6park.com——本文2021年11月30日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为WHO warns of ‘very high’ risk from new Omicron coronavirus variant
02 6park.com基因测序巨头:感恩节阻碍了美国对Omicron的检测 6park.com
The race to unearth the first confirmed case of the Omicron variant in the US has been dealt a setback by laboratory closures over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to the chief executive of the world’s largest gene sequencing company. 6park.com 据世界上最大的基因测序公司的首席执行官说,在美国发掘第一例Omicron变异体确诊病例的竞赛遭遇挫折,原因是感恩节假期实验室关闭。 6park.comThe holiday slowdown is the latest sign that the US lags several other developed nations in its ability to use genomic sequencing to identify and track new variants of the disease. Figures from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data show that over the past 90 days the US has sequenced 5.8 per cent of its samples compared with 11.7 per cent and 13.5 per cent for Canada and the UK, respectively. 6park.com假期的放缓是最新的迹象,表明美国在使用基因组测序来识别和跟踪疾病的新变体的能力方面落后于其他几个发达国家。来自全球共享禽流感数据倡议的数据显示,在过去90天里,美国对5.8%的样本进行了测序,而加拿大和英国的测序率分别为11.7%和13.5%。 6park.comThe US has not yet recorded a single case, though president Joe Biden warned on Monday: “Sooner or later we are going to see cases of this new variant here.” 6park.com美国还没有记录到一例病例,尽管美国总统拜登周一警告称:“我们迟早会在国内看到这种新变体的病例。” 6park.com——本文2021年11月30日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为Thanksgiving impeded detection of Omicron, warns genomics giant
03 6park.com英国将新冠疫苗加强针接种扩大至所有成年人 6park.com
The UK has pinned its hopes of beating the Omicron variant of coronavirus on a major expansion of the vaccine booster programme to all adults and a halving of the gap between the second and third doses to three months. 6park.com 英国将战胜新冠病毒Omicron变种的希望寄托在将疫苗加强针接种计划大幅扩展至所有成年人,并将第二和第三剂之间的间隔时间减半至三个月。 6park.comAs confirmed cases of Omicron in the UK rose to 11, officials said ministers could introduce further measures “within days” if the data pointed to the need for a tougher response. Contingency planning is also under way in Whitehall, including for more stringent mask regulations and a potential work-from-home order. 6park.com由于英国的Omicron确诊病例增加到11例,官员们说,如果数据表明需要采取更严厉的应对措施,大臣们可以“在几天内”推出进一步的措施。白厅也正在制定应急计划,包括更严格的口罩规定和潜在的在家工作的命令。 6park.comSajid Javid, health secretary, said people who are severely immunocompromised would be offered an additional booster jab, marking their fourth dose of a Covid vaccine. 6park.com英国卫生大臣萨伊德·贾维德表示,免疫功能严重受损的人将获得额外的加强注射,这将是他们的第四剂新冠疫苗。 6park.com——本文2021年11月30日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为UK to expand Covid booster jab campaign to all adults
04 6park.com俄气报告创纪录利润 6park.com
Gazprom has reported record profits for the first nine months of the year on the back of soaring gas prices, which the Russian state gas giant expects to boost performance even further in the final quarter. 6park.com 俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司报告,由于天然气价格飙升,该公司今年头9个月实现了创纪录利润。这家俄罗斯国有天然气巨头预计,最后一个季度的业绩将进一步提高。 6park.comGazprom, which holds a monopoly on Russia’s pipeline gas exports, has benefited from a surge in gas prices in Europe, its main export market. It has been fulfilling its contract obligations but with no additional spot sales, helping sustain high prices caused by factors including redirected global gas supplies to Asia. 6park.com垄断俄罗斯管道天然气出口的俄气得益于其主要出口市场欧洲天然气价格的飙升。该公司一直在履行其合同义务,但没有额外的现货销售,这有助于维持由全球天然气供应转向亚洲等因素造成的高价格。 6park.comGas prices have risen for six consecutive quarters. Third-quarter prices nearly tripled year on year to $304 per 1,000 cubic metres, according to Gazprom, helping it recover from last year’s losses. 6park.com天然气价格已经连续6个季度上涨。俄气表示,第三季度天然气价格同比增长了近两倍,至每1000立方米304美元,帮助该公司从去年的亏损中恢复过来。 6park.com——本文2021年11月30日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为Gazprom reports record profits
