So. I’m just gonna put this here…..
Remember when Trump outlawed flights to Asian and Middle Eastern countries and that was completely racist?
Yeah. This isn’t anything like that.
Carry on ATS….

You sound completely on top of this new variant so what are the transmission rate and the lethality?
Not sure yet. But I don't like the looks of it. Allegedly B.1.1.529 was found in an HIV-positive woman in July 2012 that they doped up on drugs trying to keep her alive.
That means it mutated inside a HIV-positive person and that when Covid makes mistakes and copies itself, sometimes it borrows fragments of HIV when become part of a new strain of Covid.
I'm looking at the 32 mutations. As someone who refuses to vax, I have only built up natural immunity to about 9 of the mutations. That's not enough. I'm particularly concerned with mutation N440K which helps this strain of Covid bind better in the lungs. I'm asthmatic, so that worries me and I hope that perhaps extra doses of CBD will stop it from lung implantation.
But the other 22 mutations bother me. Don't know what they are, don't know what they do. Not sure if anyone knows yet. Worried that some might be fragments of HIV in the new Omicron Covid.
Then I have to look at Australia's behavior for the last several months. Australia does a lot of trade, a lot of travel with South Africa. Australia is rounding up Aborigines with Covid and sticking them in camps. Makes me wonder if Omicron has been in Australia for awhile and are they doing it to the Aborigines on purpose. Australia's behavior has been real odd over kill for months.
If that's so, how many cases are there really out there. The Hong Kong cases came in on flights from Russia, Bangladesh, France, United Arab Emirates. The Belgium case came from a flight in Egypt.
Makes it look like these people are catching it airborn at airports and it's quickly going country-to-country.
It appears to be spreading faster than the chicken pox. But not quite sure if it's spreading as fast as measles yet. Probably not that fast yet. If it spread as fast as measles, then you would be looking at large airport populations catching it through the ventilation system.

Georgia the state or Georgia the country?
What's the difference of obesity rates between Georgia and South Africa?

I couldn't find this posted anywhere so here goes.
Former vice president Joe Biden has stopped travel to south Africa.
"Biden admin announces travel ban for South Africa and 7 other countries, citing new variant"
This is a move I am totally in agreement with Biden.
The exact policy trump used with china.
Now we wait for Nancy pelosi to cry racism. That's what she did last time.
www.politico.com...
"I've decided we're going to be cautious," the president told reporters Friday. "...We don't know a lot about the variant except it is a great concern, seems to spread rapidly."

Sounds more like you would be kissing his cheeks....all four.
But if you would refer to the original op I'm sure you would notice that I agree with this move even though he called Trump the racist for doing the exact thing.
Right ... as if people weren’t crashing the borders then too... anybody else remember those caravans ? Closing the airports didn’t stop border crashes to my recollection...

Democrats can't be racist.
If I remember correctly, Biden sent out a tweet when Trump banned African travel for a while. He said it was designed to make immigration harder for black and brown people.

I only get one message from all this. Biden's about to turn the fan
back on and blow sh1t all over America again.
