From discovery to global panic in 48 hours: How South African scientists' warnings about soaring cases of Covid super-mutant variant sparked frantic cabinet meeting and worldwide travel ban
Daily Mail ^ | Nov 26, 2021

B.1.1.529 — which has now been named Omicron— was first picked up in Hong Kong on Monday in a patient who had travelled from South Africa.

It did not catch international attention until Wednesday after a British scientists mentioned its 32 'horrific' mutations on social media after cases were picked up in Botswana and South Africa as well.



Boris Johnson's spokesperson said the variant was not an 'issue' on Wednesday afternoon despite UK experts warning it had a horrific set of mutations that could allow it to dodge vaccines.



By Thursday the South African Government was forced to warn the world about the strain at a sombre press conference, admitting it had triggered an 'exponential' rise in Guateng province and was likely in every corner of the country, outpacing Delta at ferocious speed.

And no one died? For the love of what is holy soon we are going to be enacting travel bans for the seasonal flu.

Yep, too bad 70% of the populace are sheep.

They will start putting us non-jabbed away before Sloe Joe is gone. I swear it's the end of the world as we know it.

“Bannon, Epshteyn, and Navarro were discussing this on the 5pm War Room broadcast today. Interesting, and a little scary.”

*****

I’m about to watch that, I just re-watched the Narvarro and Malone segments from this morning.

Navarro being really concerned, talk of, “it’s coming,” and, “we knew it would happen,” surprised me.

Day 1. Street protests against vaccine mandates spread to many countries.

Day 2. Reporters begin asking why Covid cases in Africa are so low despite low vaccination rates.

Day 3. "Dangerous" new Covid variants emerge in Africa.

Day 4. Governments announce travel bans to African countries where new variant reported.

Day 4 1/2. Pfizer announces vaccine for new varient available in three months.

It's kind of like a game, and we are the pawns.

***”foreign nationals” from where?

26 Nov: SABC: Botswana says all contact tracing showing no symptoms of new COVID-19 variant
by Norma Bolani
Botswana’s Health Ministry says it is now in the process of tracing the people who were in contact with four ***foreign nationals who tested positive with the new strain of COVID-19.
It says the tourists entered the country earlier this month – and were tested for the virus on their departure a few days later...

In a statement, Botswana’s Ministry of Health says so far all the contacts traced have shown no symptoms of COVID-19 and have tested negative...
https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/botswana-says-all-contact-tracing-showing-no-symptoms-of-new-covid-19-variant/

doesn’t seem highly transmissible.

Yup. Just a few days ago the news was all about the comparatively small number of COVID cases in Africa and suddenly — like MAGIC! — here come frantic stories about the “super-mutant variant” in Africa.

Leftist media spreading press releases from Leftist governments. These people have no shame. None.

“...32 ‘horrific’ mutations...”

No hyperbole here, no, not at all.

All four cases were in people who were fully vaccinated. So the obvious answer is to put unvaccinated people in concentration camps to protect the vaccinated people who are getting the variant from other vaccinated people.

I have been taking 5000 iu of Vit D3 per day for years and have never been sick (thank you Lord). With the China Virus, I upped it to 10,000 iu
_____________________

10,000 per day seems pretty high. I found out I was depleted of vit D and they put me on high iu that I only had to take once a week until I reached the levels I needed then was told to take 1,000 per day

“This is all on the vaxxers.”

*****

That’s what Dr. Malone basically said on Bannon’s show this morning, that the mutations occurred on the spike protein’s ACE2 receptors, which is exactly the location that the vaccines targeted, thus the virus is mutating to avoid the vaccine.

What happened to the whole Greek alphabet? Did we use all the letters for other variant and I missed it?

Please watch this video by the Israeli mom of a daughter in IDF boot camp. She speaks English.

Terrifying.

I think these 4 cases of foreign national travelers are the 4 Hong Kong cases.

Somewhere earlier I read they had about 100 cases in Africa.

Seems like these 4 cases were caught during regular testing, either departing Africa or arriving in Hong Kong and that’s when the SHTF and the story went public.
