THE THING

Two thirds of the 25 staff based at Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth Polar Station have caught the virus, the Le Soir newspaper reported, proving there is no escape from the global pandemic.
The outbreak took hold despite all staff passing multiple PCR tests, quarantining and living in one of the most remote places in the world.
The situation has echoes of the plot of John Carpenter’s 1982 horror classic The Thing, which was advertised on posters with the warning “man is the warmest place to hide.”
An alien life form infects workers on an Antarctic station in the cult sci-fi thriller starring Kurt Russell. Unlike the film, none of the infected Belgians have exhibited any severe symptoms – let alone been transformed into bloodthirsty beasts that can only be killed by incineration. All 25 researchers were fully vaccinated and one had a booster shot. Before leaving for the station, they had PCR tests in Belgium two hours before flying to South Africa.

A summer cold is a different animal.
I firmly believe in honoring good Meme-Unition producers by stealing
their best stuff and sharing it far and wide.
I encourage everyone to do the same.
~Easy
Well done. :)
If it was Omi then much, much more information is needed
Omi incubation is reported as 2-3 days (and that’s what the new quarantine rules are based on), whereas Delta is avg 5-7 but go out to 14. Even with lab confirmation, if 2/3rds were infected, we need to know intervals of symptoms in this group. And why.
All 25 researchers were fully vaccinated and one had a booster shot - dates?
PCR tests in Belgium two hours before flying to South Africa.- contact in terminal?
In Cape Town they quarantined for 10 days and took another PCR test. - quarantine conditions? single or group? what PCR test?
A further test was needed when leaving for Antarctica and a final one five days after that. - how many days between the 10 day quarantine test and the ‘further’ and ‘final’ tests?
One person tested positive seven days after arriving at the station on Dec 14. - what were the intervals between case 1, case 2 and case 3, and of the subsequent positives?
New on AMC: The Coughing Dead. Watch society collapse as the dead rise and cough on people. They and everyone else with a cold must be "vaccinated" by being shot through the head, crossbowed through the head, run through with a rusty exhaust pipe or just smashed with a large rock.

“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure...”
They should just use a hot needle. Much more accurate. Oh and if it comes back positive, flame thrower.
THE THING
Remember who the Thing was? James Arness...... Mr. Gunsmoke himself!!!!
Yep, as dear leader Brandon says: A pandemic of the UNVACCINATED...
SHEESH!!
Fauci says, don't be that odd penguin. Mask up!
Yeah, these vaccines and tests sure work. :-P
Libs lack comprehension.
No Severe Symptoms,,,
So there You have it.
.
Propaganda.
8 folks test Positive of 25
.
Rubbish
A huge Amen to that!!!
Filmed in Canada though. Too expensive to actually make it in the Antarctic.
“Anyone who needs to be evacuated can be. “
Oh no...that’s the perfect place to quarantine. They just need to stay put.
