    Yep. You can translate it as "not at all."

    looks like too late, it's already been detected in other countries, so may as well cancel the travel ban

    that is a good point, if they face financial hardship for letting the world know they found a new variant, other countries will see this and not report it if they find a new variant and may stop even looking for new variants, it's a catch 22

    ROFL! You should put the shovel down.

    If it doesn't matter what the variants are named, why did they skip "Xi"? Don't used the "common name" garbage as that has already been debunked as "Mu" is very common and it was not skipped over. Perhaps it has to do with the WHO being owned by the Chinese as the WHO's Director is Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who was also involved up to his eyeballs as one of the leaders of Ethopia that sold their country out to China.

    Great point.

    Especially, since the next Covid Variant is bound to be something that makes the Bubonic Plague look like Mild Case of the Common Cold.

    Countries will just stop reporting anything and let the chips fall.

    Saying that the left called Trump’s COVID travel bans both racist and xenophobic is an absolute fact. Only a bald faced liar would deny this.

    By Biden's own measurement, given his massive COVID death toll, he shouldn't continue as president.

    RESISTANCE: Protests against Covid rules and lockdowns erupt across Europe.

    Martinique COVID-19 lockdown protests intensify.

    Thousands protest coronavirus restrictions in Czech capital.

    Thousands gather in Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast and across Australia in orchestrated protests against COVID-19 vaccines, restrictions.

    Covid Curbs Spark Protests Worldwide.

    Did you notice that "omicron" is an anagram of "moronic"?

    with all the resistance to any kind of health measures (anti vaxxer, anti maskers, anti social distancing, anti travel restrictions............) ..........maybe the world should just let the virus run uncontrolled and do NOTHING to deal with it ..except some serious body removal.......

    Wonder how many would survive........ and what state the world would be in. Are folks prepared to take the gamble?? Seems they would rather debate this situation ad nauseum..........but not do their part. (which is not all that much.......)

    This pandemic has revealed just how selfish society really is. It is not prepared to give up anything..........so that the country as a whole (and the world) can recover .

    Biden's aren't worried about the variant. They are both routinely violating mask mandates and aren't social distancing

    So now travel bans are not racist? It's hard to keep up with these Leftists and their ever moving goal posts.

    Biden's travel ban is just, in his own words, "hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering". :blankstare:

    That is absolutely UNDISPUTED.
    And, the Fact that such an assertion is Total BS has been proven over and over again.

    At this point, anybody continuing to repeat that LIE is completely embarrassing themselves and engaging in a Major Self-Own.

    It would be one thing to claim that Biden implied that trump’s travel restrictions related to Covid were xenophobic - I don’t think so, but at least that would be a defensible position.

    It is something altogether different to claim that Biden said the travel restrictions were racist / xenophobic. Or that he called trump racist. Those things aren’t true. They are flat out lies. Yet trump’s apologists repeat them as if they were true, and defend them as being true.

    Just face the obvious facts, Biden is a giant hypocrite and you are attempting to run interference down the memory hole for him and it's not working.

    In order for a lie to be successful it at first has to be believable, in order for it to be believable people need to not remember that that actually occurred.

    This does not work when people know better and heard the man say it.

    :roflol:

    NOBODY "heard the man say it". Period!
    Give me a break...:bored:

    If it makes you feel better to MISCHARACTERIZE things, then be my guest.

    But Nobody, repeat NOBODY (who isn't already a Biden Hater) is buying that ludicrously misguided "2+2=5" BS.

    Why would you keep digging a deeper hole?
    Everybody sees that the Mischaracterization is completely indefensible.

    If the RW is going to make things up, then why not go all the way?
    Claim that "Biden said he saw Bigfoot" or something?

    I have neither the time nor the interest to help you attempt to defend the hypocrite.

    What he said is a matter of public record and he said it during the 2020 campaign.

    If you wish to pretend to be ignorant about what the man said that's on you not me.

    Would you care for a link proving that water is wet while we are at it?

    Perhaps a link to Google would be appropriate?

    I can’t even engage with you if you refuse to identify what it is that Biden allegedly said that makes him a hypocrite.
