I don’t think it’s a surprise at all what our current crop of left wing “lazy” journalists write. They haven’t been objective in years and don’t have a clue how to conduct investigative reporting. They “group think” with their fellow clueless and copy and paste the same dribble over and over. Most are hired and controlled by liberal elitist corporations who funnel THEIR view of the world and agenda to us through what their “talking heads” report. Ultimately, they have lost any credibility in reporting that they may have once enjoyed.

It just seems that journalists and politicians want to be first to react no matter if the information is correct or not, just end up out stupiding each other ( if that’s a word) but it seems to fit!

So I'm confused, can United States citizens fly to and from South Africa as of right now? Obviously you would have to have negative tests coming and going.
My travel agent says its pretty much shut down all travel for the moment but she expects it clear up in next few weeks.

I suppose we could wear two masks, That might help.

Make one from green mosquito netting it has less holes than surgical masks therefore less chance of transmission

I just heard the RSA President call Biden out for the travel ban. Glad he is speaking out!

All US travelers can still travel and flights are still flying.

Yes, but it is a death blow to outfitters planning to do the shows this year.

On the people on the flight from RSA and landed with 61 people with Covid, how did they get on the plane? Did they test negative before and positive after landing?

I'm not 100% sure of the validity of the test being performed in Africa nor am I convinced in general that the tests is at all accurate.

 

[Philip Glass]

Yea and I am bummed about that. We can hope that’s all at this point.
I have plans to take many guys to meet outfitters at the shows.

Klaarblijkelijk niet

Hey you guys, stop speaking Chinese here!

That's the exact question I want to know the answer to. Doesn't make any sense. Unless it's like a recent trip back from Mexico that I'm aware of involving relatives, where two of the ten people in the group received their negative PCR tests in the hotel BEFORE they even took the test! My guess is this is happening with some of the testing worldwide? Countries don't want to have a bunch of positive Covid tourists returning to the US from THEIR country. Bad for tourism.

I suppose this will wreck havoc on the conventions. I hope all of you southern African guys are sitting on a beach somewhere in the USA

This is not about one of the most serious public health crisis the world has faced in more than a century, its about the US administration and UK people in power to use it as a sharp sord against
those who have spoke out against China steeling cobalt, zinc, copper and any other resource from the countries listed in the ban!
KMG is right that RSA medical community remains one of the more sophisticated in the world! We should all thank them for their work on transplants (more than a half century ago) and on Covid as well as a list that is very very long!
Remember this is about politics not a health care crisis that continues to kill! These lock downs dont do anything to stop the spread, its already in multiple countries! This is about punishing a part of the world that has natural resources that China doesn't and those now in power who will do anything to make sure they get them! (remember what happened when there was a threat that China wouldn't get the
LNG from the port in Mozambique)

All I can say is God Bless Africa and please save her!

Sigh... Probably I should not ask. But what the heck.

What is it about then?

Probably like every thing else: money, power and control!!
