World is put on high alert over the Omicron coronavirus variant

By Ivana Kottasová, CNN

Updated 11:03 PM ET, Sat November 27, 2021

(CNN)As fears mount over the newly identified coronavirus variant Omicron, governments around the world are scrambling to protect their citizens from a potential outbreak. The new mutation, which is potentially more transmissible, was first discovered in South Africa and has since been detected in the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, Italy, the Czech Republic and Hong Kong.Israel is banning all foreigners from entering the country in response to Omicron fears, authorities announced Saturday. The ban, pending government approval, is expected to last two weeks. Israelis returning from a country on the red list, which includes countries in southern Africa, will be required to isolate for seven days in a designated hotel. 

There are seven suspected cases of the variant in Israel, in addition to one confirmed case found in a person returning from Malawi, its Health Ministry said.

    “Maybe Bajans should return to the worship of Zeus or Jupiter instead of Yahweh to save their sorry asses from the coming wrath of RA.”

    Religions should personal be for individuals not nations choices and there are many flavours of Spirituality
    Religious studies should be about all religions not blind blinkered single minded faiths to brainwash children

    The takeaway wisdom from the life of Jesus teachings is man and woman can manifest as God (and Gods)
    as per Hindu faiths filled to the brim with gods and goddesses with up to 33 million Hindu gods and deities

    Practice cool mediation like Buddhists and Holy Herb from Dreads learn Sikh Dharma of Kundalini Yoga
    Chinese Qigong internal energies with Pranayama Breathing and Tai Chi like a Shaolin Monk in a Temple
    Call it the New Age Relationship with God as Best Friend with deities and prophets as brothers and sisters
    make miracles guided by angels teachings of saints evolving to a next level of wisdom knowledge understanding

    Interesting comment from CMO Kenneth George a couple days ago. Barbados will not issue a directive that says travellers from South Africa and surrounding will not be permitted to enter Barbados because UK the main transit point has done so. Why not issue it for th record to send the right message? We have travellers who enter on private planes etc. Why the hesitancy?

    “Too much faking.”
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Isn’t it Judeo-Christian biblically un-Islamic not to be fruitful and multiply?

    Thanks to medically-assisted improvements in infant mortality rates and technology-based contraceptives humans are doing no more “faking” today than they did in the past times of mass raping as approved by your Judeo-Christian god Yahweh and orgies according to Dionysus or his Roman-equivalent dubbed Bacchus.

    The planet’s population needs to go back to a steady-state level of growth which Mother Nature can afford with Her limited resources.

    If humans don’t cull and control themselves then Mother Nature will send an army of viruses and other diseases to bring their numbers back into check in keeping with the Earth’s resources as she has done over the eons with all life-forms especially the mammalian class of the homo erectus species.

    Simply put, Mother Nature (the handmaiden of God) will get rid of you lot to make way for a new species capable of being good custodians of the Creator’s planet.

    How many African travelers reach Barbados directly
    perhaps the bigger issue is more about quarantine of people from the transmission of viruses

    “We have specific legislation to protect animals but none specifically to protect senior citizens. I guess you’d have to rely on the Offences Against The Person Act, but there is no specific legislation that speaks to the abuse of senior citizens physically, sexually, financially and emotionally.”

    Oh dear! “Did I do that?”

    SO WE NOT GOING TO BE TALKING SEX ANYMORE?

    ARE WE GOING TO STOP BEING MISOGYNISTIC AND NASTY WHILE ASKING “UPTIGHT” WOMEN TO LOOSEN UP BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SEX?

    WILL YOU LEAVE MY NAME OUT OF YOUR OBJECTIONABLE SEX JOKES?

    WILL THE RULES BE APPLIED FAIRLY ACROSS THE BOARD?

    AND WILL MISOGYNISTIC MEN HOLD OTHERS TO THE SAME STANDARDS TO WHICH THEY HOLD ME?

    OR IS THIS “RUMSHOP” only for men?

    No matter what the Constitution, nothing will work until ALL CITIZENS are acknowledged BY THE PEOPLE to have the same rights.

    You people talk a good talk about all people should be treated equally and blast the government for not making it so but you yourselves do not walk the walk, even on a blog where there is nothing to be gained by doing otherwise.

    You guys have one standard for women and another for men. You guys have one standard for people with certain professional qualifications and social standing and another for others. You guys form cliques and treat the words of those persons differently from others who say the exact same thing.

    In short, you guys are bags of stinking hot air. And that is why Mia can dismiss you, not because I “lowered” myself to respond to a question I WAS ASKED earlier this year about whether I had ever experienced a toe-curling orgasm. And a recent demeaning remark about my admission that I often faked it.

    P.S. NOT ALL OF YOU. EXAMINE YOURSELVES AND YOU WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

    PURE UNADULTERATED RUBBISH!

    David can delete this. But he KNOWS I speak the truth.

    THE END!

    So, South Africa had bare floods and as patterns observed all over the world (aka empirical evidence) the numbers of cases will rise!!

    So we see them duly rising.

    What better explanation than to say there is another variant which is vaccine resistant and super contagious?

    Fellahs getting desperate as their schemes are being exposed.

    I am willing to bet that the rate of change of cases with time in this surge is no greater or smaller than in the previous surges and thus the Ohmigod variant is no more infectious than any of the other multitudinous variants.

    Lyall, do the math and measure the gradients.

    Since the days of caveman are you able to identify egalitarian systems in the so-called enlightened age? Even in China and countries with central systems of government there is an elite who benefit from preferential treatment. The point, no system is perfect. At some point the developed world will figure why the probability of the virus mutating in unvaccinated spaces is higher.

    The caveman era is not a point of departure for this writer. This mind is not constructed in such ways.

    And the much longer history of humanoids cannot represent the simplistic straight lines such terms represent.

    Those master histories were not always characterized by the minds from whom brutishness was only assuaged by what their like to pretend to be an intervention of an “enlightenment”. Theirs are all false narratives.

    Think for yourself! Could humans, from long before the time period embedded in your question, think maybe 6 million years ago at least, have survived without very sophisticated methods of cooperation, levels of interdependence?

    None of these things represent perfection. But to contend that the absence of perfection provides an escapism for the failings of your preferred organizing principles merely waves the surrender flag.

    Hants Boy, the virus loves cold temperatures in sewage and water.

    It can stay viable in water at 4 degrees centigrade at least 22 days, perhaps longer.

    Not familiar with the geography up that side but look for concerns about sewage, wastewater or storm water getting into drinking water.

    Here are some water quality reports from various supplies in Ottawa.

    Look for evidence of fecal coliform in the water.

    If Ottawa has particular hotspots, link them to the water supplies for those areas.

    That’s all there is to it!!

Then YOU SHOULD PAY when something goes wrong.
