I mean... use some common sense... dump some kits on some people who spent a couple nights in Seattle and Portland, okay, sure... but someone who was out of the country for 15 minutes needs a test? What a waste of resources...
Maybe it really was "randomly selected" then? Can't have all the ones gone for over 24hours suddenly selected now right? heh

When I got selected, it was under the guise of computer generated random selection.

Test was easy though. From a user experience, it's really well designed - swab both nostrils 1 cm in, then swab gums. And I was able to drop it off at the nearest Shoppers.

After detecting 5 cases of Omicron, Korea implementing 10 day quarantine for all international arrivals


Hong Kong has detected 4 cases as well, 3 in quarantine 1 at the airport (unvaccinated). They are talking about shutting down the airport.

coronavirus discussion
 
This article is spot on in terms of what richer developed countries can do to combat new variants around the world.

We are going to see more nasty variants in the poorer developing countries like Lesotho and Mozambique if much more vaccine is not donated from the richer countries through the COVAX program.

Vaccination rates in countries like Mozambique or Namibia are so low that the likelihood of Omicron or other variants coming from those parts of the world would be high.

Vaccine hoarding and greed among the developed countries.

We are all
You and me
We are all living in the future.
We can’t get stuff cuz boats are late.
And nobody’s working in the future.

They don’t serve tostadas any more at Taco Bell.
Welcome to the future.
In the future
We are living in the future.
In the future
We’re living in the future.

It works for pfizer moderna etc too, that's probably why they won't make the vaccines available to poorer nations at a more affordable rate

as long as wealthy nations hoard, and variants appear, they can keep rolling out variant booster shots

Biden announced this new testing requirement for foreign travellers coming into the US by plane. All foreign travellers, including Canadians, must get a Covid test a day before travel.

I went to Blaine last night for the usual 15 minute gas and parcel run and was randomly selected for a home test as well. It looked like they were giving them out to every 5th or so car in line.

Omicron looks to be way more infectious (keep in mind it's summer time in SA, so this isn't a winter outbreak)


68style 12-02-2021 03:37 PM
Is it the same level of danger though? I’ve heard varying accounts of that so far and trying to find something more concrete.

SkinnyPupp 12-02-2021 03:42 PM
Hospital data lags behind a bit, but it looks to be 'mild' as you could hope, at least for people who are vaccinated or got covid in the past

All them non vaccinated still be anti-bodied up pretty quick. Let’s hope this mild symptoms and extreme contagiousness is what we need to get over the hump.

Popped down to point roberts today, easy as pie.

Pro tip: fill out your ArriveCAN app the night or before. It takes a while actually filling it out but no issues on either customs side

^ Apparently my "anonymous tip" proved to be very ineffective..........
