South Africa will no longer impose COVID-19 quarantines and stop most contact tracing — now that as much as 80 percent of the country has gained immunity from previous infections, health officials said.

Director General of Health Dr. Sandile Buthelezi announced Thursday in a release that the country will change its strategy to focus on mitigation efforts, the South African reported.

Not to worry, Bill-zebub Gate⚡ and the tyrants of the politico-pharma-media complex have something TERRIBLE up their sleeves. A few days ago, he stated that we are 'entering the worst part of pandemic'

These SOBs have something worse in mind for later on, to tighten their grip on us, 'for our own good', they believe.

So 80% vaxxed then? Guess not. What would nellie mandelli say? Get vaxxed or get a tire necklace?

I’m thinking they either have something lined up that will kill the vaxxed in droves or the unvaxxed. It will be blamed on a new virus or weird mutation of covid.

Probably the half a billion (or was it trillion) home test kits. Take a swab, get the bug. See how easy that is. Limit 4 per household says raggedy jen sackee. Sometimes ya gotta break a few eggs when you’re trying to reduce the world population to 500 million. :-}

SA deaths are up from weeks ago, about 100/day, rather more than during their winter of a few months ago, and case count holds in the 20,000 range. What did this person mean by mitigation measures?

It’s been done for awhile now, but our leaders won’t let it rest I predict for a decade or more.

The tyrants and fear mongers here won’t even take a breath from their mission to terrible to believe.

It has now come to, if you feel like you have a cold you probably have covid-19.

Vladimir Putin said the magic number is 80 percent herd immunity in Russia the other day.

They are at 59.4 percent this week.

We’ll just have to wait and see. Spanish flu ended when the world got hit in multiple wives. I think we are seeing the same here. No masks, social distancing, etc will save you. Then once everyone got it, then this virus will not longer be “novel”. So after this omicron wave, the virus will still present it endemic levels but we shouldn’t be noticing it anymore.

Director-General Dr Sandile Buthelezi, it says containment strategies are no longer appropriate and mitigation is the only viable strategy.

Ok, that makes more sense. No point in pursuing approaches towards containment because those are hopeless, they have been overwhelmed. Now some sort of mitigation of the already spread virus is all that can be done. Likely also hopeless.

“South Africa relaxes COVID rules as 80% of population gains immunity”

If only the headline read....

The United States relaxes COVID rules as 80% of population gains immunity.

Read closer!

“...gained immunity from previous infections...”

NATURAL immunity, not from vaxxines.
