It appears omicron won’t be boycotting the Winter Olympics in China.
With opening ceremonies in Beijing less that a month away, the highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus has been detected in nearby Tianjin for the first time.

Same here. Giving the Olympics to places with such poor human rights records like Chuna or places like Brazil who can barley function shows how inept the Olympics organizers are.

Wi they cancel the games?
I think the last one I watched avidly may have been the 1980 Winter Olympics.

New event this time. Jabbing. Whoever can get the most jabs without getting Convid or dieing, wins.
And, what good are the test that just give false positives?
Screw China, why the hell would anyone go to that shithole?
the Omicron Olympics
To get a liver or kidney?...
Just a fortnight to slow the spread.
