Get a grip. The 'Kent' variant was detected in Netherlands five weeks before the UK labeled it. Genomic sequencing needs two things, A ) a suspect virus and B ) time.Drunk Monkey wrote: ↑November 29, 2021, 7:16 amThe doc who found the Mandela variant did so a month ago ..but the effects were mild so she didnt say owt until a few days ago.. its all her fault then or are some countries over reacting ?? and locking the stable door after the horse has bolted bla bla blatamada wrote: ↑November 29, 2021, 7:08 amYou can't lock out variants that haven't been bloody detected yetDrunk Monkey wrote: ↑November 29, 2021, 4:59 amIndeed for once i totally agree with you on this Statto .. UK government seem useless as they did the same with the Indian variant... there comes a time when you just cant offer an excuse for the fookwits that are running the UK ..stattointhailand wrote: ↑November 28, 2021, 6:22 pmGreat to hear that the UK govt have contacted the hundreds they allowed into the country from Southern Africa and "asked" them to be tested, AFTER it gets revealed that 10% of those on a plane arriving at Schipol were infected. I'm sure all those arriving in UK were negative and they didn't travel the length and breadth of the country on public transport WITHOUT the need to wear a mask.
Barn doors and bolting horses springs to mind AGAIN
Sadly agree with you also Ernie .. ive predicted 2023 for any sort of business to get moving again 22 is a write off IMO .. covid isnt ever gonna totally be eradicated it will become just another virus we got to learn to live with and be vaccinated against with yearly boosters and tablets.

Sheesh...
Whens the next Eastenders free beer sesh ??

Does anyone think that those two KLM flights to Amsterdam from SA with 67 positives (13 omicron) were the first plane loads from anywhere?
FWIW, the east side genomic sequencing sh*ts all over the side of town with the overrated junction and like the beer, it's free.
Westenders BYOB.
