EUROPE FINDS ONLY “ASYMPTOMATIC OR MILD” OMICRON CASES SO FAR
Gript ^ | DECEMBER 1, 2021 | | MÁIRE NÍ MHAOINE

In England, new Covid rules on self-isolation have been enshrined in law until March, prompting criticism from business leaders who described the new rules as “massively disproportionate,” while travel agencies labelled the restrictions a “huge blow” for their industry. Tory MPs, meanwhile, warned Boris Johnson that restricting freedoms was a path “towards hell”.

The new UK regulations force people to isolate for ten days if they come unto contact with someone who has the omicron variant or risk a hefty fine of up to £10,000 – regardless of being fully vaccinated – and will not expire until 24 March, under legislation passed by the Commons on Tuesday.

33 Tory MPs revolted in response to the move, as they warned that the self-isolation rules could lead to a new “pingdemic” that could mean healthy people are fined if they leave their homes. Concerns were also voiced that the threat of having to stay indoors for ten days could stop people from socialising whilst the Government ploughs ahead with a new booster programme. Masks have also been made compulsory in numerous public settings.

Asymptomatic. In other words people don’t even know they have it.

Even worse are the sheeple obeying, without question, every command of their bureaucratic masters.

Sensible people around the world would be thrilled with Omicron. They’d be rolling in the stuff. Easy immunity, with less side effects.

This is really going to sadden them if it continues.

Smallpox died in the same way - the more virulent smallpox was replaced by the much weaker variola minora, which then was eradicated by hygene and increasing health standards.

Hopefully this omicron variant signals a very weakened COVID that will eventually disappear or remain somewhat impotent.

Yes, sounds like this exactly.

Meaning:

1.Spike protein in Omicron is defective, without it the virus is just a cold virus. (Not to worry: you can still get spike protein from the vaccines!).

2.Fauci will ban Omicron and Brandon will criminalize Omicron transmission. (How can he get 10% from free vaccination?)

We should use this as the vaccine then. Have omicron parties.

Seems like nature is throwing omicron parties while govt bureaucrats are scrambling for ways to limit attendance.

Who do we trust more? Omicron, or Brandon?

It puts why they want to keep it out of the U.S. so strongly in a different perspective.

I was thinking the same thing. Sort of like our parents used to do when a neighborhood kid came down with the chicken pox. Had a chicken pox party and got it over with.

If you're into an historical perspective of disease, this is a pretty good book.

There’s no such thing as a symptomless cold.

Same thing the South African medical people said. Different researchers getting the same results independently of each other is the hallmark of *real* science.

It’s in every virus’s best interest to *avoid* killing its host. Covid will naturally weaken over time, not get more virulent. “Omicron” sounds like a mutant of the original Chinese biological weapon that’s losing its potency.
