Haitian’s, Africans, what’s the difference right MTT? They are all black - must be carrying the African Covid. Never mind that those Haitian’s have never stepped foot in Africa and came from South America, that’s fodder for the know it all elites! Nothing but good old common sense and prejudice here (from a rotted brain that can barely function).

Well, you won't save many Botswanan lives by vaccinating them against COVID. Condoms, dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir save lives in Botswana.
The median age in Africa is <20 years old. They don't have epidemic obesity, diabetes, heart disease... risk factors for severe/deadly COVID have the lowest incidence in Africa of any population. COVID in much of Africa, South Africa excluded, was not meaningfully worse than other endemic tropical diseases for those populations where Malaria and Dengue are considered childhood diseases like we considered Chickenpox in the US 25 years ago (before the vaccine).
What they do have in sub Saharan Africa is HIV AIDS. The immunocompromised unfortunately make good incubators for variants.
HIV prevalence in Botswana is 20.3%. COVID vaccination is maybe 10%
And now we have Omicron.Originally Posted by blurred

Quoting to capture the everything is about race and everyone is a racist but you
I’m gonna spell it out for you.
People flying here from Africa. “I believe “. Show proof of vacation and have a negative Covid test to come here.
For this strain to pop up in the USA. It would most likely come into the country by someone entering illegally
Further my premise is that it already has made it here. I figure by Monday the “News “. Will be reporting us case’s.
And goody for you. Another 60 pages of the same handwringing drivel.
Also pretty sure patient zero will be diluted if “the dumbest post I ever made”.
turns out to be true
One more time
I think the new variant being globally publicized is already spreading in the USA carrier coming over the southern border illigally
Open for a debate on my opinion. Just try and have a conversation about it. Without being a fucking doucheOwn your fail. ~Jer~

That's my understanding as well. And as South Africa now contends, they are being punished for having robust genetic testing and alerting the world to this new variant. Better to be like the US and keep our head in the sand.
All true, but if Botswana was as vaccinated against COVID as say, Massachusetts, we probably wouldn't have Omicron.
BioNTech says they will know in about two weeks if they need to start manufacturing a new vaccine. If so, they say they can start shipping the new vaccine in 100 days.
Notice how WHO skipped the greek letters Nu and Xi and is calling the new variant the next greek letter, Omicron?

No effect whatsoever. Nobody uses that "Malaria drug" for Malaria in Africa. African Malaria strains have been resistant to HCQ/CQ for decades.
We wondered if HCQ would work once, theorized a mechanism of action, and we tried it out. I gave it to patients; we had little else in early 2020, so we gave HCQ+Zithromax, experimental Remdesivir (helped some), and experimental convalescent plasma (which turns out didn't work either). But, it turns out HCQ never worked against COVID, studies proved it, and then we actually understood why its originally theorized mechanism wouldn't actually work with COVID. The nails are solidly in that coffin.Originally Posted by blurred

Sure you totally didn’t confuse Haitians for Africans. You just happened to bring up the incident with all the black people coming across as evidence there were Africans…. Total coincidence.
Are there SOME Africans who come across the Southern border? Sure about 5,000 in 2019 which was the latest data I could find. But these journeys take a minimum of weeks and often months or years. So literally no one is getting infected in South Africa, getting to Central America, then crossing into the US and infecting anyone. If they come across with Covid they caught it somewhere in Central America.

To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues
Pointing out that one of the Hong Kong cases left SA with a negative pcr case; quarantined, as required in Hong Kong, with daily(?) testing; and had their first positive PCR test on day 4 of quarantine.
Also, why won’t the travel ban include the areas where that Belgium person traveled in the Mediterranean?

I like the idea of jet setting South Africans also being the ones migrating through Central America up through Mexico and then rushing the border. That sounds really plausible.
Also MTT calling Haitians “Africans”.
This thread delivers.

I don't know that they're useless, if they give us (well the medical establishment) time to figure out if this is a panic situation or more of the same shit, then they're useful. We lacked the discipline to require quarantines because people need their vacations, or even just to get their fast food fix. That and people decided they were over covid based entirely on their fee-fees. That whole "the dumbest take I’ve heard in a long time…" thing didn't last long, did it.

Sorry - didn’t think I needed to put a sarcasm tag on my post…
You honestly think South Africans are contracting omicron, jet setting to Central America/Mexico, and then rushing across the border?
I’ve been wrong before. Happy to admit I’m wrong about this if anyone can show some proof.

Two planes from southafrca landed in the netherlands with 61 c19 positve cases.
??????
I dont know what that means...
1 suspect case in germany
1 suspect case in czech republic
I guess it is already in the usa but it is possible to slow the spread for now until we know more.
