Will Egypt become a victim of omicron-fear?
Even those members in Egypt can’t have failed to notice that the news Is all about the new covid variant...omicron. Most of southern Africa has been put on Red Lists, by UK, Europe and USA....to the extreme annoyance of SA president Cyril Rhamaphosa , who thinks it’s totally unnecessary.
He’s got a point. With or without the travel ban, this new variant is set to dominate world infections within a matter of weeks.
I follow a number of Egypt-orientated tourism/ travel sites and they’re in panic mode! After months of being prevented from travelling to Egypt, they’re all now terrified that Egypt will, again, find itself on the UK red list.
It’s partly a hangover from the situation earlier this year...and partly because they’ve discovered Egypt is in Africa. That Belgian chappie who kicked off the furore had been on holiday in Egypt.
Quite why this came as a shock is puzzling...but maybe an indication that geography is not a strong point for the sun, sea & sand mob.
And the sheer lunacy of some of the comments flying about has me screaming at my laptop. Better, I suppose, than engaging with them on the keyboard. It’s like watching open heart surgery.
Fascinating....but not for the squeamish.

Re: Will Egypt become a victim of omicron-fear?
If and when Nick celebrates this Xmas in Luxor and if they allow him back here, he will not
be invited to visit for at least 10 days.
Last time we flew out of Egypt over 18 months ago all 3 of us caught covid to a greater & lesser degree.
At that time covid was revealed to be on that isolated Nile cruiser full of Chinese tourists.
Mind you! If he visits his new pal, same rule applies....

I guess we can all retire that expression.
Avoid it like the plague.
Given how little effort people are putting in to avoid an actual plague.

The emergence of the Omicron variant shows that the world is “closer to the start of the pandemic than the end”, one of Britain’s most senior scientific figures has warned, as he lamented a lack of political leadership over Covid.

I’d stay clear of Egypt then.
About 10% fully vaccinated when I last looked.
They’re all in De-Nile

If, if you can find an open 'convenience these days, this is my favorite Lincoln's Inn Fields.

So it would seem....providing there’s a notice saying Big Brother is watching you.
I suppose it deters drug users..... or cottagers

And that’s only the ones who were tested!
It won’t be long before everyone catches it, if they haven’t already. Just pray you’re one of the many who don’t suffer unduly.....and remember....vaccination improves your prospects immeasurably.

My antivax Yank popped round for a drink, finally after boris, sleeze, afghanistan, whistleblowers, epstein and assange we got onto economics and vaccines,
Oh! God, I really give up and she's quite intelligent in many things, what's the point I ask myself ?.....
