COVID-19: Delta variant stalls Israel's grand reopening to tourists
J-Post ^ | MARK FELDMAN

It is a wonderful sign that airlines are touting that they are opening their countries to Israelis. It is disconcerting when our newly anointed prime minister visits Ben-Gurion Airport and suggests that Israelis should not travel abroad.

It is a sign that the air transport industry is returning to normal when airlines are taking their respective countries to court to try to encourage more tourism. Far less encouraging is when the Health Ministry releases a document warning all passengers that if anyone on their plane is diagnosed with the Delta variant of COVID-19, everyone on board must go into quarantine. Yes, vaccinated or not, or recovered from COVID-19, into quarantine you must go.

Bibi leaves one week and the very next week, they're starting to shut the country down again. Not a SINGLE death in Israel due to the 'Delta Variant.' none, zippo, zilch.

Once governments understood the power they could wield, it was obvious they weren't going to give it up easily.

My doctor asked me yesterday if I had been vaccinated.

I told her that I had stuff deadlier than COVID living in my refrigerator.

Anybody hear anything about variant Alpha, Bravo or Charlie?
What are we on Delta now? Fauci is saying that Delta is the deadliest variant so far, but still, no rankings of Alpha/Bravo/Charlie?

If there is no info on A/B/C, and we are now at D, with no real info, I might have to consider the rumours and tin-foilers and conspiracy-thinkers.

Delta is the code name for Guantanamo Bay (Camp Delta), and Fauci is currently there.

I guess they don’t understand that this power is capable only of destruction.

This power can create nothing nor preserve nothing.

200,000,000 AMERICANS think otherwise because that is how many will be full vaccinated by fall season.

When one thinks everyone around him is crazy, it is time to look in the mirror.

I think this is more about the expense of contact tracing any cases tourists may bring in than about the Delta variant.
Contact tracing ain’t cheap.

OTOH, tourism is easy money.

I never said I wasn't crazy.

But when the government that also pushes Critical Race Theory and Gender Fluidity wants me to inject my body with something that changes my operating system (my RNA), pardon me if I want to take my sweet time.

If you have been vaccinated and are now COVID resistant, why do you care if I am still vulnerable to it?

BTW, I have had the flu once in the last 40 years and have never gotten a vax. I think my resistance is high enough to withstand COVID.

If I'm wrong, well, my body, my choice.;-)

I agree with your point about you being no risk to the vaccinated (and prev infected too).

Just pointing out there are a significant number of people who are either inately immune-deficient, or immune-deficient because of med treatment like transplants.
Make sure there are none of those in your circle.

Delta is so contagious that it seems to be evading the vaccine, although there may be other causes for this. Depressing news from Israel.

But, but isn’t Israel the mostest vaccinated country evah? So much for even being “rewarded” for compliance.
