Omicron variant: Move over, Delta

Just got off the plane from Malawi to Israel:
@george-k yea it’s been on news all day
Government going into potential war footing.
But I have a feeling it’s going to nothingburger away, at least not as a game changer. Just a hunch. I may be wrong.

More lockdowns won’t fly.

Trump was massively inconsistent on travel bans for sure. Very quickly imposed them on China. Didn't impose them on Europe until well after the airlines stopped flights. And the airlines only stopped flights after the flight crews walked out.
Maybe in the grand scheme of things, with two years hindsight, the travel bans didn't make much of a difference. But lets not give him too much credit. He was very willing to stop flights to China and had no balls to stop them to Europe. His attitude to travel bans poorly correlated to infection risk.
Yes, the Dems showed their asses early treating Asian travel bans as racist. But that doesn't mean Trump shined.

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.

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.

The W.H.O. wouldn’t want to offend China, now, would they?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yup, they skipped it.
It's officially the "Omicron" variant.
What the hell are we going to do when we get through the entire Greek alphabet?

Go back to living our lives?

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?
