    You completely miss the point in true Axian manner. No one said Trump's bans were great or effective. But Biden slammed them as racist and now imposes his own.

      Nope. The early February African travel bans were unrelated to Covid. They were an extension of even earlier travel bans entirely inspired by desired immigration restrictions.

        Totally pre-Covid. Or at least pre-Covid concern.

          Good point. Lyin' Joe's tweet was a day after the Fox story.

          But as you pointed out, I believe he and certainly others called the China ban racist, even though it was COVID-related.

                  Yup, they skipped it.

                  It's officially the "Omicron" variant.

                        Any word on the severity of the cases? Is this the hoped for you incredibly transmissible but much less severe variant that everyone has been keeping an eye out for?

                                The waaaaaaayyyyy too early reports seem to indicate that cases are milder, but then again, most cases of COVID are mild to begin with. There will need to be a much larger sample size to really know.

                                  Yes - low grade fever, myalgias, fatigue. No loss of smell/taste.

                                  But - young population, and small sample size.
