I saw this earlier. As of yet, nothing in the UK about banning travel to Holland but I bet it will be a long time before Africa is open to us again.
Hypocrisy stinks.
It really makes you wonder.....

Its causing me a headache trying to get a crate of D/P trophies shipped out, with the holidays, high freight rates and cancelled flights and all. We're going to wait till January to see how much shipping rates drop.

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

What is it about then?

Well he did say this,,,,

"its about the US administration and UK people in power to use it as a sharp s(w)ord against
those who have spoken out against China stealing cobalt, zinc, copper and any other resources from the countries listed in the ban!"

In the middle of Fauci’s fear-mongering, he makes the comment that viruses typically become more transmissible and less deadly as they mutate. This is exactly what the early data seems to indicate. Who cares how transmissible it is if it is roughly as dangerous as a common cold?

Well, we don't know how much less dangerous it is. One report is that it is more dangerous to kids, though there is a drive to push vaccination on kids, so one would expect any such inference to be given wings.

For reasons that are too complicated to explain, an easily spread, and a lot less dangerous variant is a dream come true, if we want to move in the direction of sterilizing immunity. There aren't many choices left for that in countries with high vaccination rates, from what I understand.

When I say "too complicated to explain" I am referring to my limintations, but I have been watching the dynamic duo of the Bob and Geert show, and I think that Bob has only started to take on board Geert's perspective. At first half a year ago he only quipped something like, "well we don't have the luxury of culling the whole herd" as they do in agriculture when they get an outbreak. Now he seems a little closer to "Oh sh^&"

She tested negative before departure...but positive when tested after landing...but was convinced she was negative and that the test on landing was not correct result....

Just seen this about zim...not great for them....our new lot here in zambia have decided that bars..clubs..casinos etc can only open 4 days a week and for limited hours....so all the different viruses obviously don't operate at those times...Will be reviewed in a month...so holiday period not going to be too great ...

 

[spike.t]

Bit more on that...so more readin to wonder why tests etc are needed when countries don't care about them...

 

[DieJager]

Well he did say this,,,

Yeah read that. I just am confused if he meant specifically this variant or if he meant the whole covid situation.

 

[Chago]

I ain't taking any of this shit seriously until the megatron or megadeath variant. Then they will get me on board.

Omicron starts in Europe, thrives in Europe, spreads in Europe. RSA lab discovers it and tells the world. The UK says, quickly lets blame a black guy. And closes borders to RSA. Other European countries quickly join the club obviously before they get shut down. Then of course the two pansies in Canada and USA join the party. And now there is a lab in South Africa with a bunch of scientists going, what they hell did we do???? And scientists in all the other countries coming up with ways to blame Africa. That pretty much sums it up for anyone who was looking for coles notes.

From Scotland....

The Big Gov / State is now going to fully track everyone arriving from banned travel countries:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday morning issued a directive to all airlines with service to Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe that they must disclose the names and contact information of all passengers who have been to those countries in the last 14 days.

Those passengers will be tracked down in the U.S. for a health check that could include COVID testing by local health authorities looking to mitigate the spread of the Omicron variant, according to Reuters. It is unclear what penalties anyone who would not comply will face.

Fkn hell....

Well, USA is On the Board! Our reliable homeboy Dr. Fauci reports, 1st Omicron “+” case from California, patient returned from RSA trip 22 Nov, tested + 29 Nov, mild symptoms, was vaccinated & then Fauci had to emphasize (cuz he’s a bureaucratic) that the infected patient “ … had not received their booster shot.”

Yea, that’s what happen … dumb person - didn’t get their booster shot! Oh my ‘flap my forehead.’

Now consideration for Thursday discussion is tightening travel restrictions.

 

[Tam Dl]

UK, has put in place mandatory self isolation for contact with O. This will be in place till March 4, so that gives you some sense of the preliminary timeline at this point. £10 000 fines. Pfizer claims it will be at scale with an O vaccine around March. Though some early reports continue to indicate the effects of O are mild.

 

[WAB]

What a farce. Critical thinking skills have gone completely out the window.

 

[MarkB]

Am I the only one that sees this as part of some sort of plan? Not my fellow Canadians, if up to the Canadian masses we would all be locked in our houses and only allowed out to get in line for shot I mean vaccine number 40?

All's good, as a non vaxed Canadian I already cannot fly, catch a train or go to any establishment in my Province. Glad we are a democratic free country. Soon I foresee vaccine or of to jail.
