The US government will now require all airline passengers arriving from the United Kingdom to test negative for COVID-19 starting Monday.

A new mutant strain of the virus that is 70 percent more infectious is spreading in Britain, prompting many countries to shut their borders to travelers from there.

I’d prepare for once or twice a month announcements of more mutant types of Covid to occur, and this testing business is found to marginally effective. Won’t surprise me if by spring...all international travel is halted for six months.

And how much more fatal?

Fatal?

What’s that?

Because nobody is talking about it’s mortality rate. They are just letting you presume that it’s the same.

There is no "New Deadly COVID Strain That Emerged From The UK!"

It is yet another Plandemic lie.

The Globalists made it up to punish the UK for Brexit and to leverage the latest trade deal between the EU and UK that emerged (unfavorably) to the UK.

The EU has even stated since 2017 the "plan" was to punish the UK, and they mean it.

Can we ban travelers with AIDS? That’s deadly. How about EBOLA, MARBURG, OR DENGUE fever.?

I just want to keep commies out.

BUT ITS 70 PERCENT MORE CONTAGIOUS!! (Raging caps deliberate, as if these tools had some scientific, rational, repeatable basis for making that claim).

Note to any liberals, if you ever read this, the reason so many of us are "science deniers" is that so much modern science is solely designed to support the socialist narrative, and has NOTHING to do with actual science.

Will this a requirement on the southern border as well, or just for White people coming from a country where they already speak English?

Usually, mutations are less infections.

If there is multiple strains already, the vaccine is absolutely worthless.
