Netherlands ban air travel from Britain till NEXT YEAR over new Covid-19 strain, similar to fast-spreading variant in the UK

20 Dec, 2020 00:58 / Updated 24 seconds ago

The Dutch government has imposed a ban on commercial flights from the UK to the Netherlands after it reported a first case of the new fast-spreading Covid-19 strain. The ban will be in effect at least till January.

The travel restrictions will apply to all passenger flights from the UK bound to the Netherlands starting 6:00 am Sunday local time, the government said in a statement, issued several hours before the ban was to come into force.

The government described the sweeping ban on air travel for the whole Christmas period as a “precautionary measure”, needed to “limit” potential further exposure of the population to the new strain of the virus, which was first detected in the UK and is allegedly highly contagious.

Citing data by a local health agency, which recommended the ban, the Dutch government revealed that the strain, believed to be the same one that prompted UK PM Boris Johnson’s latest lockdown, was detected in the Netherlands “at the beginning of December” as a part of a case study.

In light of the situation in the UK, the government said it would “further investigate” the case to determine “how the infection came about” on Dutch soil, and whether there are more cases, triggered by the same mutant strain.

The Populist American Powder Keg Is Primed But Will It Be Lit?

Dec 19, 2020 6 Mins ago

There are countless alarmist articles from the past rotting away on the forgotten side of the internet, warning us that “this time it’ll be different” and that the given crisis of the moment was “the one” that would lead to big change.

Flawed humans are often too eager to over inflate information that suits them to build the exciting revolutionary narrative of their fantasies. We should always be wary of falling into the trap of this alarmism, but as 2020 comes to an end there are some truly unique events happening in the West, especially America that cannot be ignored. The Covid-19 Pandemic, or should I say governments’ strange measures to fight it, have eroded one of the major pillars of Western stability, that is rarely acknowledged. Life in the West is finally becoming uncomfortable and whether this is “good news” is up for debate, but it is certainly good for creating major political change…

Joe Biden Will Get His Coronavirus Vaccine Publicly On Monday

Dec 19, 2020

Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden are set to receive their coronavirus vaccines publicly on Monday.

Jen Psaki, who Biden selected as White House press secretary, said: “It’s important to us, as he’s stated many times, to send a clear message to the public that it’s safe,”

Breitbart reports: The event will take place publicly in Delaware. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and second gentlemen Doug Emhoff will receive the vaccine one week later “to avoid a situation in which all of the leaders of the incoming administration experience side effects at the same time,” according to Politico.

Psaki said the decision is “based on a recommendation by our medical and health experts.”

Biden will not be the first political figure to receive the vaccine publicly. Vice President Mike Pence publicly took the Pfizer vaccine on Friday on live television.

“Karen and I wanted to step forward and take this vaccine to assure the American people that while we cut red tape, we cut no corners,” Pence said, adding that he “didn’t feel a thing” when the shot was administered: …
