I don’t disagree with that - it sounds reasonable, if perhaps not implementable in our current environment. I’m not against travel bans, per se, just the way they’ve been implemented in the us which penalizes the hoi polloi indefinitely but allows the rich and famous superspreaders to flit about. and I’m against repeating that mistake at this point

Close. You missed they can't count. Else they'd notice that >99% of visitors are not dirt poor immigrants. And maybe that Covid can't tell income status or nationality (Biden's travel ban will fail as badly as Trump's).
If we cared about variants, the right travel ban would be to close the airports, implement Australia's quarantine system, then reopen airports to vital travel with quarantine. But we don't really care, and that won't happen.

Case in point, I had to talk my sister out of a visit next weekend. She is now freaked that if Omicron becomes a threat we won't see each other for a while. Then she starts whining that its not fair that she and her husband have retired but can't really travel right now. I was the asshole to remind her that 800K Americans have less to worry about now cause they are dead.
We care as long as it isn't inconvenient.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

If all get vaccinated omnicron might be no problem.
We have a problem and there is a solution.
Lets watch portugal all together and then make a conclusion.
If we go with freedom or freedom.

I Like a lot of the information in this post - Thank you. You have addressed some hard issues, head-on.
some of what has been addressed, is some of what I thought there is value in being careful not to argue semantics -
we can call it 'travel restrictions' or we can call it 'travel ban' ; it is a 'devil-in-the-details' situation, where the terminology is a lot less important than the implementation...
I understand the idea that US citizens shall not be ,,, infringed from returning home. I say forget that. travel internationally during a pandemic, serve quarantine.
( someone up-thread cited a negative test that developed clinical signs four days later ; That would not be a problem if the person was serving a fourteen-day quarantine. )
some of the angst does feel like prior criticism of vaccination : If a measure does not provide absolute protection, some of the critics claim it is without merit, while offering no alternatives.
( I am uneasy to see the idea of post-infection immunity still being promoted by some. my friends who have chosen not to vaccinate for covid, have fundamentally changed our friendships. )
again, Thank you for the information in this ^^^ post.
Thank you. tj

Yup
And get the booster when eligible. Somatic hypermutation is your friend. Almost certainly grants good protection from all Covid variants, and likely SARS-1 and maybe some other coronaviruses too. Somatic hypermutation is how your immune system adapts to variants it hasn't seen. Turns out viruses have been mutating since life began, and our immune systems "expect this" and have a good counter for anything repeatedly seen.

Chile to start vaccinating 3-6 year-olds (Sinovac). And: “Chile joins Venezuela, Colombia and neighbor Argentina in vaccinating children from age three.
Nicaragua and Cuba are vaccinating toddlers as young as two.”

Well, first world countries are more progressive than here in the third world, from a public health standpoint

26 hours out from my booster shot + flu shot. Last night was rough and my pup has no idea why I keep laying on the couch.
Why is it that the covid shot leaves so much pain in the arm? I can barely lift it, worse than first 2 shots. Right arm with the flu shot is already back to normal. Just curious.

I had a dream last night that my house was full of unvaxxed people (I only learned this after they'd been staying with me for several days). I offered to take them to get jabbed but they refused so I kicked them out.

24 hours out from my Pfizer booster. Only had a headache yesterday from it. A pleasant surprise given that I felt worse after the flu shot and was pretty much in bed for 24 hours after Moderna #2.

Boosted with Moderna an hour ago. Had it mounted +1 so should work with my BSL
