President Joe Biden is ordering air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other African countries effective Monday, in the wake of the World Health Organization’s Friday description of a new coronavirus variant as a “variant of concern.”
The president issued a statement Friday, “This morning I was briefed by my chief medical advisor, Dr. Tony Fauci, and the members of our Covid response team, about the Omicron variant, which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a precautionary measure until we have more information, I am ordering additional air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries.”
The World Health Organization Friday described a new variant of the coronavirus a “variant of concern” and labeled it Omicron.
The label “variant of concern” applies to a variant deemed to be especially transmissible or severe, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Travelers from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi will be prohibited from coming to the U.S. starting Monday, officials said.
biden is the most racist, xenophobic, white supremacist president America has ever had. Come to think of it, biden never disavowed white supreme pizzas.
@Sam
Don’t forget about how hateful Biden is. When Trump shut down travel, Kamala said it was all about hatred, not security.
….Kamala is conveniently quiet now. All the Democrats are amazing hypocrits.
When trump did the same democrats were apoplectic. calling him racist, islamophobe, etc, etc, basically everything but human.
Funny huh.
You just don’t understand. I speak liberal so let me translate.
Joey called Trump a “hysterical xenophobia” because he had the nerve to restrict travel to and from China, the point of origin from Covid-19 virus and parts of Africa due to an Ebola virus outbreak.
The difference is, so long as your don’t call it the “China Virus” and don’t restrict travel to Muslim countries in Africa where there is an Ebola virus outbreaks it is perfectly okay. You can restrict travel to African counties that are predominately Christian all you want and so long as you do not call it the African Virus Variant you are immune from being called an “hysterical xenophobia” or hypocrite.
I consider this a Public Service Announcement. LMFAO
That’s right, HappyPappy, we have a ‘double standard’ in the reaction of certain people to this new travel ban.

The @WHO has identified a new COVID variant which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a precautionary measure until we have more information, I am ordering air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries.

What about closing our southern border? Migrants from over 100 counties are coming across there and not being tested for Covid. Let’s Go Brandon.
Good question, Amy. In fact, there should not be a higher priority in this country. LGB, BIG TIME!
I guess Trump was right after all. Waiting for Biden, Harris, and Pelosi to admit it.
Absolutely hilarious.
I remember someone else who tried this and the “wokists” had a Meltdown.
Where you woke at now???
Let’s go Brandon!!
Keeping the focus on the varient and the last 48 hours, thank you President Biden and CDC!
No, Bella…….Biden should be focusing on closing the border.
Yep, I shut a few TV watchers down yesterday at Thanksgiving.
They couldn’t name the CEO of Pfizer, didn’t know how long the “vaccines” are in trial for, couldn’t name 1 ingredient of any vaccine and had no clue what VAERS is.
Then they got mad when I used the term “street smarts”.
“Keeping the focus on the varient and the last 48 hours“
Omicron is an anagram of moronic. How fitting for your post.
COVID IS A HOAX. The virus is stupidly. The cure is using your head.
Good job Anon, it’s no surprise democrats are ignorant. When people actually have facts they are no longer democrats.
Can’t ever break bread with these people ever again.
Even the South African Health Minister is wondering why all the hubbub saying the virus is very mild and they’ve only had two cases so far. Look at all the fear porn over this “variant” from our mainstream media.
Same old baloney.
The same old predictable rhetoric is already being broadcast.
The same old results will happen.
And there be the same old tired lies.
When will people learn that it’s all a ruse?
No travel into this country for illegal’s.And people with passports or visas must have a Covid vacation and test negative within 72 hours.Also when you get here Support yourself and your family.No freebies.
Funny how Trump was pilloried for doing exactly what Biden is doing now by restricting air travel due to covid, especially since it is Africa. The woke would have been beside themselves over that one but now there is silence. What a bunch of hypocrites! Let’s Go Brandon!
Now here’s a thread where there won’t be many of the Claycord Dimcraps will be commenting on.
.
‘A racist policy enacted by the Trump Administration.’
.
… as stated by Biden in 2019 about China when SARS-Covid2 originated.
.
And now Biden does the same.
.
Politics. Are you left wingers able to filter the hypocrisy?
.
Trump*was*right!
Things*were*better*under*Trump
I miss him!
@ Cyn. As I mentioned “focusing
on.” But I will agree, the borders are a mess. Appreciate the feedback..
If Trump did this he would be called a racist. But with Biden….Crickets….
Trump did and he was. Democrats are such liars and hypocrites.
But he is not closing the southern border. Many people from Africa come through the border. The latest scariant must be smart enough not to affect those people, right?
Do you see it yet?
.
Restrict and enforce immigration laws along the US-Mexico border.
.
AUTHORIZED US RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS ARE TIRED OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC PARASITES INVADING THIS COUNTRY.
.
I have never seen such hypocrisy as I have with the democrats/liberals. The conservatives/republicans have been pilloried for years by the dems for whatever actions…. Yet the democrat do the same thing and….
Crickets.
Until the democrats take responsibility for their actions, I will believe NOTHING of what they say. And certainly actions speak louder than words.
NOTHING!
Are we going to replace the name “Biden” in the old media headlines with Trump so they can at least be a consistent and they don’t have to change the story line? I mean if they can call trump; racist, islamophobe, whats the difference? I’ll wait
Biden can’t even piss on his own, he has to follow the script and puppeteers.
He hasn’t a clue what’s going on neither does Harris.
No way in hell Dems will win in 24 now.
