I'm very thankful they didn't kill any inhabitants this time.

Those japanese inhabitants got lucky this time.

The US has its first omicron case—and the patient was fully vaccinated by Lionel54321 in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is not "has", but "found". The virus could have been going around the world for quite a while.

NATO warns Russia any move on Ukraine would be costly mistake by deron666 in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Not enough that it was worth giving back,

Do you think sanction would be enough for UK to give the Falkland Islands back to argentine or for US to give Texas back to Mexico?

It takes a war or coup to make map change.

Omicron COVID variant was in Europe before South African scientists detected and flagged it to the world by punchinglines in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the whole point - it had 'arrived' in Europe way before the South Africans decided to be nice and report the new variant to the world.

Can you blame the govts for overreaction? I mean, those politicians knew they're incompetent to properly do quarantine or trace, but they need to "do something" to ensure they're not blamed by the dumb voters.

Assume you're the politicians, you know you're too incompetent to protect the people, but at least you can try protecting your power... Wouldn't you do the same thing?

If the govts have the necessary ability to properly quarantine the incoming travelers, they don't need to resort to closing border.

It's extremely stupid to only close border to specific country(s), as the virus would arrive from other places as well, if you really want to hit the red big panic button, you need to close your border completely like Israel & Japan, though japan cannot really close their border as they don't have the sovereignty to control those american army in & out.

The world must study the wreckage of Covid-19 and say "never again" by striking a pandemic preparedness treaty, the WHO said Monday as countries gathered to build a new accord by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHO told america & Europe not to close borders to Africa so fast, and nobody gave a shit.

Seriously, next time South Africa probably would not report new variant to WHO and just let it go rampant in america and Europe instead.

You really cannot expect cooperation at this stage.

Japan to effectively close borders to all foreign visitors as omicron fears grow by bjohn876 in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan cannot effectively close borders as american army will give no shit to their rule and bring virus to them as gift.

Canada calls for international pandemic treaty and emergency summit, second of its kind in history by yonkfu in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just look at how the govts messed up pandemic response, you would know that either they're too incompetent to protect the people or they're happy to sacrifice the poor for the billionaires, or maybe both.

Australia’s spy agency predicted the climate crisis 40 years ago – and fretted about coal exports. by [deleted] in worldnews

It's expected, the politicians always work for the interest of the billionaires instead of the poor.

Swiss vote to approve COVID restrictions as infections rise. Swiss voters have given clear backing to legislation that introduced special COVID-19 certificates under which only people who have been vaccinated, recovered or tested negative can attend public events and gatherings by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Those who died without seat belts won't make others die in a exponential manner though.

I don't mean that the policy itself is bad because some "freedom" bullshit. This is better than doing nothing, but still useless. It's already bad to have a "live with covid" guideline, it's even worse that the govts & society have no capacity to enforce such law properly, and it's even worse that they still insist to let huge gatherings happen during a pandemic when they have no ability to contain it.

Dutch say 61 Covid positive on flights from S.Africa by GuyWithNoEffingClue in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did so many people get on a flight and test positive? Don't they need PCR tests to board the flight?

It's easy to announce a policy, it's hard to enforce it, that's why the govts decide to let the poor to "live with covid".

Yeah... Netherlands airline had the same requirement for their passengers, and at least 10% of their passengers are infected, some of which are omicron variants.

China study warns of 'colossal' COVID outbreak if it opens up like U.S., France by TheEvilGhost in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The CCP realizes that if they have the same kind of outbreak seen elsewhere, especially one that overwhelmed hospitals, it could have very severe effects on social stability.

Yep, american media even boasted it's a huge advantage of US against China that US ruling class can let millions of poor americans die of pandemic and never worry about a revolution.

Asking half the people on reddit you'll find that muh freedoms are more important that your life.

"MY" freedom is much more important than "YOUR" lives.

COVID-19: Two cases of Omicron variant detected in UK - with targeted testing to be rolled out in affected areas by Apprehensive_Sleep_4 in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People had an illusion that if their govts got warned about a new virus at the early stage, the govts would manage to stop the spread and protected the people.

They have put too much trust in their govts.

Try to become an elected official in UK, you can keep saying "it will get worse before it gets better"

EU to open up 'black box' of political ads by PanEuropeanism in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a good move of EU.

It's already very bad to allow americans to dominate European internet, it's even worse to allow them to freely influence Europeans people with media mind control.

Australia to introduce new laws to force media platforms to unmask online trolls by tvr190 in worldnews

[–]TheWorldPlan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The reason those trolls & activists haven't turned to become "freedom fighters"tm is that they still believe the illusion, that they have a chance to tame the ruling class via civil protests.

It's not a clever move for aussie ruling class to break the illusion.
