Hey we made it thru Thanksgiving here in the United States without too much fanfare. We have Florida kicking ass in the Sars Covid 2 department, lowest cases in the country. Texas and Florida trying to help alleviate the supply chain issues. Great time to scare the hell out of the population again with a new variant, Omicron.
The first case originated in South Africa right at the end of November. It is more contagious and has many more mutations in some reports. There are doctors in South Africa say this is a snoozer of a variant. Symptoms include achiness and tiredness and it is usually gone in two days. No deaths have been reported about a week into this new variant. Here is the thing that gets my brain wondering, three days before omicron, South Africa said it did not want to buy any more of the vaccines. Guess what happened right after that, travel bans from all of the world powers including one from Biden and his administration. Wait isn’t this the same thing that happened in January 2020 with President Trumps’ travel ban on China? You know the ban that was racist and xenophobic, why didn’t the media do the same on this ban?
Here is my take. As on que the media took the fear porn to the extreme as usual. It is worse than Delta!! Omicron spreads faster than the original Sars Covid 2!! We know nothing at this point other than omicron exists, bottom line! We have doctors in South Africa, at ground zero, calling this a nothing burger! Why did the World Health Organization skip naming this variant, Nu or Xi? They were next in line with the Greek alphabet. The “official” line is “Nu” sounded too much like new and “Xi” is a to common last name. From my standpoint, they skipped Xi as to not offend President Xi of China!! China has basically bought the WHO so those who took the Chinese money wouldn’t want to offend their benefactors. Moving on, how did cases of omicron get to 11 countries in days when it took Sars Covid 2 months? How did it get to the penal colony of Australia if you have to be “vaccinated” to get in or out and the unvaccinated can’t travel? If the PCR test can’t distinguish between the flu and Sars Covid 2, how could it identify this specific variant? Questions beget questions, where the answers lay is why we continue to ask questions.
