The Great Covid Omicron Freak-Out By Chris Knight (Florida)
Even though South African health authorities have said that the Covid Omicron variant is mild, with no reported deaths yet, the West is beginning to go into what can only be described as a viral freak-out. The Economist had an article, behind a paywall for me, saying that there are already impacts upon markets. What really put the sabre tooth tiger among the pigeons was CEOs of Big pHARMa saying that the present Covid vaccines probably will not be effective. That means more of the same. For what it is worth for Australian readers, here is a mainstream update on what is happening in clown world USA.

“President Joe Biden provided an update on the U.S.'s response to the emergence of the new Omicron variant of COVID-19.
“Biden, who spent the holiday weekend in Nantucket, Massachusetts, has already announced targeted travel bans on countries in southern Africa—a move that has been condemned by South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa.
During a press briefing, Biden said he does not anticipate more travel restrictions at this time.
He said the new variant is "cause for concern not a cause for panic." He encouraged every American to get vaccinated, including the booster dose, and to wear masks while indoors and in large crowds.
White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci has already confirmed that the U.S. is preparing to tweak COVID-19 vaccines if it becomes necessary.
Omicron, which was first detected in Botswana, has been labeled a "variant of concern" by the World Health Organisation, with scientists fearing it could spread quicker than previous versions due to its more than 30 mutations.
"Omicron has an unprecedented number of spike mutations, some of which are concerning for their potential impact on the trajectory of the pandemic," the WHO said on Friday.
Both the United States and the United Kingdom are now recommending all adults receive the booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as the Omicron variants is expected to spread.”
Apart from that, Biden wants us to wear face masks inside, maybe in the shower too.
