The former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham who has sons Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, Cruz, 17, and 10-year-old Harper with husband David Beckham – is known for her slender frame but she believes women today are keen to look “healthy and curvy” and she loves the body confidence she’s seen on display while in the US.
She told the new issue of Britain’s “Grazia” magazine: “It’s an old-fashioned attitude, wanting to be really thin. I think women today want to look healthy, and curvy. They want to have some boobs – and a bum. The curvier you are, the better my VB Body dresses look.
“Every woman wants a nice, round, curvy bottom, right? For that, you need a really tight knit that nips you in at the waist and holds you in all the right places. Third, the resurgence is the result of a sub-lineages of the variant (Omicron) that caused the fourth wave. The shift to resurgences driven by sub-lineages rather than new variants potentially heralds a change in the evolutionary pattern of the virus and a move to it becoming endemic.
Last, the country has the lowest level of restrictions in place compared to any period since the start of the pandemic.
These differences matter because they have important implications for interpretation of Covid-19 trends and the associated response. They show that South Africa appears to have entered a new phase of the epidemic.
In this new phase, the high population-level immunity in South Africa probably means that in the absence of a new, more severe variant, future spikes in infections are unlikely to result in large increases in hospitalisations and deaths.
This makes it increasingly difficult to use the same definitions and interpret the data in the same way as during the past two years. And it means that the country needs new ways to monitor risk which, in turn, will inform potential policies to protect the health system as well as individual risk mitigation.
For example, the current patterns demonstrate that in a context such as South Africa with high levels of population immunity, it is possible to have a substantial surge in a transmission that does not overwhelm the health system, even without putting new restrictions into place.
