61 travellers from South Africa in Netherlands positive for COVID-19 -authorities
Dutch health authorities said that 61 people who arrived in Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa on Friday tested positive for COVID-19, and they were conducting further testing early Saturday to see if any of the infections are with the recently discovered Omicron coronavirus variant.www.reuters.com
Yep, no surprise as the phylodynamic approach linked earlier indicates a common ancestor around October 7th, give or take a couple weeks. Been spreading for a while so it’s everywhere.
Yeah I thought that was a bit too sanguine from Chise. Though the rest of the sourcing does include the article. Time will tell. I don’t expect much change in severity, but who knows at this point.Posted in Investor thread
But
They were on multiple planes (two planes), not clustered all on one flight.NOTE: 600 passengers and 61 test positive.
10% positive. Hope the 61 worked together. If its 10% of random people that's SCARY.

The latest covid variant, Omicron originating from South Africa, impacting world markets and our very livelihood, show what happens when countries act independently instead of together for the common humanity. Here in Canada we are now issuing booster (3rd) vaccine shots while many countries, such as those in South Africa, have yet to distribute a single vaccine dose to the majority of their population. I've read Canada has discarded >1M doses of vaccine due to over supply and passing expiration dates. Even within each country the discord is great between those who feel vaccination is a societal necessessity, and those who feel vaccination as compromising individual freedom. We just can't seem to get it right. We need to act together, in unity, every country, everyone. Until then, covid and its distruction will prevail. The weakest link breaks the chain for all, so we must work together to strenghthen the weakest links.
The latest flooding and landslides in Canada's bookends of British Columbia bordering the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Provinces, shows what happens when countries act independently instead of together for the common humanity. Until then, global environmental catastrophies will continue to accellerate at an alarming rate due to climate change caused by burning fossil fuels.
Do what you can to help those in need, especially those affected by covid and climate change. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Tesla is part of the solution. Tesla is acting for the common good, accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy.
We have about 150 million vaccines doses in this country that will expire next month.. sadly nobody seems to want them in the South, so I say take‘em and send them to South Africa, Tanzania and Botswana.
Re: The vaccination rate is so low because they have struggled to get the vaccine.
Re: Most of the vaccines available are lower quality than what is available in the developed world.
That doesn't appear to be the case. They've now have so many extra JnJ and Pfizer they had to stop the supply which is far outweighing the demand.
EXCLUSIVE South Africa delays COVID vaccine deliveries as inoculations slow
South Africa has asked Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer to delay delivery of COVID-19 vaccines because it now has too much stock, health ministry officials said, as vaccine hesitancy slows an inoculation campaign.www.reuters.com
“I have been on ivermectin for 16 months, my wife and I,” Dr Bruce Boros told the audience at the event held at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, adding: “I have never felt healthier in my life.”
The 71-year-old cardiologist and staunch anti-vaccine advocate contracted Covid-19 two days later, according to the head event organizer, Dr John Littell.
He also said: “Everybody so far has responded to treatment with ivermectin … Bruce is doing well.”
The Beast said sources close to Boros said he was gravely ill at his Key West home.
Well, I would hope so.Beyond the covid angle I'm surprised anyone would be willing to take ivermectin because it means you can't drink any alcohol!
Alcohol: Avoid. Very serious interactions can occur
Or are these people just popping pills with their whisky/wine/beer and reaping the side effects?
Allergies maybeSo I braved the grocery store tonight.
I don't know what she had but I'm in the frozen foods isle and someone walks around the corner with
And when I say sneeze these were strong sneezes that jerked her head around. Loud enough you could hear them from 50 feet away or further.
- no mask
- puffy face
- sniffles
- and then sneezes about once every 30 seconds
No tissues, no gloves, no mask, nothing to catch the sneezes (didn't sneeze into forearm), just shopping away clearly sick.
I don't know if she had the flu, covid, or a random virus that's less lethal than both of those, but I do know she shouldn't be in public spreading it like that.
If she doesn't have a spouse or close relative to take care of her while she is sick she should at the least make a big order and have it delivered to her house.
Stay at home at least until the sneezing stops and she has no fever.
