The World Health Organization designates the newly identified B.1.1.529 coronavirus strain as a 'variant of concern' and assigns it a name

From CNN's Leinz Valesis prompting governments around the world to ban travelers from several southern African nations.

However, one expert suggested Friday that instead of travel bans, the way to combat the variant first detected in“By the time you implement travel bans, the cat is out of the box,” Dr. Carlos del Rio, executive associate dean at Emory University School of Medicine, told CNN. “This has been identified in Hong Kong, in Israel, in many other places. Once you get it there, it really doesn't matter. I mean, you already have it spread globally so what we need to do, again, is implement not travel restrictions but implement the kind of things that we know that control the spread.”“We need to be thankful that countries like South Africa have invested in genomic sequencing and have been able to pick up strains like this,” Del Rio said.

No more hand off Ethiopia

I’ll just leave this thought here. Ever since the vaccine, now there’s variants. I don’t get how so many aren’t seeing the connection.

Stop creating viruses. It’s obvious we’re being murdered on a global scale.

Have you not seen that person/people who are fully vaccine have been tested positive for this new strain

We are doing well here in SA, with over 90% recovery rate from COVID19. The satan media outlets, cnn & our little Brandon here, Pres Ramaphosa are the ones spreading nonsense about dying people here. God is watching, the world & it's people belong to him!

Shall we call it Omicrap.

DsOchoa WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SCIENCE-DEFICIENT MEDIA GET INFO THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. Can you try and scare people more, pleeeeeeease?

B.1.1.529 sounds like a constellation in the DeltaQuadrant

I’m tired y’all.

Hi

I blame stans dad for making love to that pangolin now our future is gonna be more mandates and shelfishness

fuckoff

CNNPolitics WHO knows it's a 'variant of microwave frequency'. As Japan's 47 cult is notorious, the elite don't have to explain B.1.1.529 is 2+1+1=4, 5+2+9=7 (as 9 is 0) and also B.1.=Dec, 1.529=8 which hints Pearl Harbor on Bodhi Day in Japan. It's variant of Japan's hysteria.

I wonder if the people who got the shot and the boosters.....will yall continue getting them ? They WILL come out with 2 more boosters for this variant. 😩

My cats breath smells like cat food.

They call it Biden

WE ARE STILL IN A PANDEMIC!!!

How bad is this variant? Is it ever going to go away?

The only way for this to end to have a complete shutdown in all countries for two weeks but this will never happen

First choice was Larry. Larry in shipping/receiving wasn’t amused, so they gave it a weird epic name 🤷‍♂️

CNN WE are in serious trouble. This is a sign that we must be extremely careful about traveling and travelers.

CNN Omicron? Is that a new transformer?

CNN Pandemic of the VACCINATED
