Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement that the country's borders would be closed to all foreigners due to concerns about the omicron variant and that Israeli citizens coming into the country would have to quarantine, regardless of their vaccination status.

The statement, issued on Saturday, said that beginning at midnight between Sunday and Monday, the country’s borders would be closed to international travelers for two weeks pending approval from the government, Reuters reported.

I don't know what good two weeks will do, and I wasn't going anyway, but whatever, close 'em up.

Incredible. The entire world is going insane over what will turn out to be a minor development. Just like all the post-holiday “surges” that never happen, this is a fabricated cause for alarm.

The reason for extreme measures is because there is no vaccine for this.

That's how it all began in February 2020! TWO WEEKS to flatten the curve!

Gotta have a new deadly variant come the scene just when the sheeple are beginning to suspect that being "fully vaxxed" doesn't provide any protection whatsoever at best, and is down-right harmful/deadly at worst.

The vaccines likely work very well against a virus that no longer exists.

Yes. Utter insanity.

It’s very nearly unbelievable. And it gets worse every day.

Apparently all of the variants still exist in South Africa.

“It’s very nearly unbelievable. And it gets worse every day.”

*****

It’s weird. Is he just closing them for politics, does it help his image in some way, some focus driven consultant’s recommendation based on possibly unrelated issues?

Is there a wider purpose, some type of precedent setting objective that they want to use the recent variant news to accomplish?

They’ll say it’s science based, but I don’t see how based on what we are reading, it’s like swatting a fly with a shotgun.

Is there science they are not sharing, at least publicly?

Shut it down.

Shut it all down.

Hard.

Nip it in the bud. Nip it.

Well, it’s a good time to increase focus on treatment.

When new variant comes along
You must nip it
Before new vaccine comes along
You must nip it
When something’s going wrong
You must nip it

Now nip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To nip it
Nip it good

Treatment sounds good. It will have the same issues of chasing mutations, but I’m thumbs up on treatment.

Personally, I was astonished that in what seemed to be only 48 hours WHO had an emergency meeting, the UK shut off travel from various places and then the US, too.

This looks a LOT more serious than what is public.

Probably useful to remember that when a disaster looms, until the elite have their families secure we won’t be told about it.
