Antarctic outpost hit by Covid-19 outbreak

A Belgian scientific research station in Antarctica is dealing with an outbreak of Covid-19, despite workers being fully vaccinated and based in one of the world's remotest regions.

"All residents of the station were offered the opportunity to leave on a scheduled flight on 12 January. However, they all expressed their wish to stay and continue their work," he added. There are two emergency doctors at the station and new arrivals to the outpost have been suspended until the virus dissipates.

i trust they will all isolate

Who didn't social distance?

Hm a monster in Antarctic, similar to 'The Thing' except in 2022 it's called Woke movement. You BBC are part of this monster

All vaxxed...🤔

JoelKatz did you remember to sanitize?

An extremely cold area and so it's easy for one infection to spoil the whole bag.

Ah yes that would be down to the school children not wearing a mask in class

That shows we are all in contact.

lockdown the continent

Hey, I thought extreme cold was supposed to kill the Covid-19 virus. But hey, it didn’t kill the creature in The Thing either, so………………..

The Thing!

Kurt Russell out there wildin' out again.

Oh no, hopefully they've got some lemsip!

Oh no.

Why was they not isolated before going. It just proves that virus us a canny so and so. Reason they ask for 2 tests days apart so they can catch it in tests

Looks like a job for:::

Forget to mention they are fully vaccinated and tested negative and then still got covid

This virus spreads faster than BBC lies, what about extreme temperatures where this does not manifest, In other news we knighted a Freemason/war criminal. For services to the crown & country. Pull the one with bells on as we are in the festive season.

Must have had a bet with some of the other strains - which one would plant it's flag⚙️

Wtf. So proves the point the locking down and isolation doesn't do sh*t when even the remote place in the world is not enough to keep out of danger.

lockdowns totally work though!

They are actually tell us that jabs spread covid and those ones who are jabbed are getting positive for covid and getting ill. Soooo, who is more dangerous to who, unvaxed to vaxed or vaxed to unvaxed🤔... This is a proof

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Surprising but not so important. Isolating is not going to be a problem at the base.

The Blob

For fucks sake Colin.

At very funny but word think of ( COLD )

Sounds fake

Wouldn’t have thought they got many visitors or is this more bullshit from the BBC

How does that even happen, funny how more vaccinated people are coming down with covid than not… what is in the vaccine?… surly not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, tell us again about how all the measures we are using work again? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

The ultimate lockdown didn't work

Cold resistance +1

Once again bbc cuts its own throat ti show people how pathetic is is

So fuckin what?
