| Johannesburg the biggest and most populated South African city |
The news coming from South Africa are more than reassuring, we should all uncork the sparkling wine for the new year and the famous New Year's Eve, instead in Italy and Great Britain we are talking about restrictions and cancellations of celebrations due to the Omicron variant, where the Omicron variant, already declared from the beginning milder than the Delta one, more infectious - it produces more positive swabs - but milder - it rarely gives the severe form of Covid - well in South Africa where this Omicron was born they declared that they don't even track it anymore because it acts like a normal flu virus.
I hope the Europeans and the Americans do not believe that they are not tracking it anymore because "in Africa they are too poor" Johannesburg is one of the most modern cities in the world:

They no longer trace it because it is no longer there, in fact Biden has cancelled the travel ban to and from all African countries "there is no reason for the travel ban". There is no longer that special, more serious form of the flu that we have called Covid Sars etc. So why is Italy talking about the Green Pass and closing shops and restaurants for a positive swab? Why is Boris considering COBRA meeting and closures and NYE's festivity ban? Or even cancelled flights due to "contact with a positive swab"? Like it is the most dangerous thing in the world, I mean... to cancel a flight... to close the schools...to prohibit to meet friends, to work...and? What for? For a flu with another name?
Because they want to do it politically "by force", in England as I told you there is rebellion, unfortunately not so in Scotland and Wales, perhaps the Johnson government falls - hopefully they'll substitute him with a sane man or woman of the one hundred rebels list and not Truss - and what about the rest of us?
I proposed to stop swabbing asymptomatic people but to swab immediately those who have the first flu symptoms, if it is flu, it is treated as flu, if it is Covid, monoclonal antibodies are immediately made available and it is cured. Closing schools and cancelling air flights for something that in South Africa they say "is no more, it's over" is a reluctance.
