Sorry long one……… 

This is good 

Hahahaha. Written originally by a Nrupesh Sony I believe:

In just 48 hrs everything just went upside down. Looking at all the updates and social media posts,  I could not help but write the below - outlining the absurd response from the countries. Maybe,  some of them will realize what has actually transpired.

*South Africa*: Hey guys, look what we discovered in our labs while researching Covid19 variants and mutations

*World*: What??

*SA*: It's a new variant of Covid19 - seems to be different than others. Let’s work together and study it further.

*World*: What? You have a new variant of Covid19?!?! 

*SA*: No, we just found a way to 'identify' a new variant. It seems,  it has already been detected in HongKong, Israel and Botswana.

*UK*: Hey guys, no offence,  but we already have 45,000 cases a day, we don't wear masks everywhere, allow large gatherings. However we cannot risk getting a new variant.

*SA*: But we just identified it and showed you guys how to check for this variant. It did not originate here. We have advanced labs because we do research on AIDS, TB and other communicable diseases.

*UK*: Thank you for the research. However,  a complete travel ban on you and your 5 neighbors.

*Netherlands*: We heard UK banned flights to you because you have the new variant, and so we are also imposing a ban on you and your neighbors!

*Namibia*: Hey! What did we do? We have less than 20 new cases a day since a month now! 

*EU*: Guys, we have a situation in our hands.

*Namibia*: The situation where Germany has had 76,000 cases a day and other countries are breaking daily records for cases?

*EU*: No, not that situation.

*Lesotho*: Is it that UK still has 40,000+ cases a day and doesnt seem to have it under control?

*EU*: No, UK isn't a part of us anymore, and not our concern. 

*Malawi*: We hear Poland has some serious rise in cases and hospitalisations.

*EU*: Really?! We have no idea. We must look into it. but not what we are talking about now.

*Eswatini*: What situation then?

*EU*: We heard that South Africa has a new variant and their numbers are rising rapidly. Since some of you are next to them, we need to close travel to the region with immediate effect!

*SA*: Dude, we just identified it! We only have a few cases in the region. Especially when compared to what you guys have. What’s with the knee-jerk reaction?

*Namibia*: Knee-jerk - that's the word we were looking for.

*UAE*: We are closing flights to Southern Africa, we don't want to risk it. Sorry guys.

*USA*: We are looking into this and studying the variant. We won’t ban flights yet.

*SA*: Thank you USA. Finally a voice of reason!

*Mauritius*: Sorry SA and the variant group, I saw some other countries refer to you as that. We are friends and all, but we are concerned about our tourism and economy,. So we will also ban you guys for now until we know further. 

*SA*: We thought you were family. Goes to show how money is more important!

*Belgium*: We already have 1 new case of the new variant. Thanks a lot, SA.

*SA*: We literally just showed you how to identify it. 

*UK*: Thanks a lot, SA. Now we also have 2 cases of it.

*SA*: 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 What about our vaccinated people? 

*World*: Nope. We need to run tests first and figure out what this virus can do and how effective the vaccination is against it.

*WHO*: Hey guys, a quick question. The next Greek alphabet is 'Xi'. What do we do? China? Are you here? 

*China*: Don't you dare! Leave us and our president out of it. Call it something else. And we don't allow anyone in anyway. So the variant is not our concern.

*WHO*: We got it boss. It's now called Omicron.

*WHO*: Sorry, we meant Sir. You are not  our boss.

*SA*: It's true what they say - no good deed goes unpunished. The next time we won't tell you guys about the next mutations or variants we find.

*World*: Sorry,  can't hear you. Too busy dealing with the outbreak that you caused. How about we talk about this later?

*Namibia*: It's the weekend, let’s braai & go camping and let the world figure this one out themselves. We are still open to everyone. And if you wish to travel here, ask your leaders to start thinking before making decisions. 

_To be continued_.....😂😂😂😂

Sigh, hard for us to dig, just live with it

When a virus mutates it can only excel in one of this three areas.

It can increase its power to make people more sick

or

it can make itself less affected by vaccines

or

it can make itself more contagious and spread to more people.

It cannot be good at all 3 like Sun Tzu art of war!

Lucky for us Omicron has used all its mutation to make itself a super spreader

and so less power to make us sick and less power to evade vaccines.

Omicron has turned Covid into the common cold and by March 2022

life as we know it will go back to normal.
