Restrictions imposed in response to Omicron variant unscientific and ‘completely unjustified’

Omicron should serve as “a wake-up call to the world” about the dangers of vaccine inequity, which has seen Africa lag the rest of the world in inoculation its population. “Until everyone is vaccinated, everyone will be at risk,” he said in an address to the nation on Sunday night. A steadily growing number of companies and universities have introduced compulsory vaccination policies, but large swathes of the economy have yet to do so.

SA reported its detection of the new variant, also known as B1.1.529, to the World Health Organization on November 24, and went public with its findings a day later.

On Sunday, 2,308, or 90%, of SA’s 2,848 newly diagnosed cases were in Gauteng, and the national test positivity rate had almost tripled from a week earlier, to 9.8%. The seven day moving average of new cases stood at 1,600, up from 500 a week before, and 275 a fortnight ago, he said.

No new Covid-19 restrictions as government consults on mandatory vaccines — RamaphosaPresident Cyril Ramaphosa has urged South Africans to get vaccinated as scientists try to understand the new Covid-19 variant. Mandatory vaccines will never work in SA, imagine taxi drivers who are mostly unvaccinated allowing only vaccinated passengers 💉💉💉 IF SA gov wants to stop covid, then: Close bars, gyms, cinemas, casinos, restaurants. Limit indoor gatherings to not more than 20 people, stop year-end and Xmas parties. Mandate work from home. Actively police mask wearing and hand sanitisation at public places SA gov is allowing a situation for more mutations to occur & more new variants. YOU CANNOT HAVE AN OPEN SOCIETY WITH PEOPLE PHYSICALLY INTERACTING & SPREADING THE VIRUS! We need to stop physical interaction to stop the spread & flatten the curve IF we serious bout stopping covid
