Here in South Africa, the home of the OMICRON, the people are pretty much divided when it comes to masks and vaccines. Less than 40 percent of the population is jabbed. Most of the black people are suspicious of it and will refuses. Many companies are making it compulsory to get the jab or be fired.
We had a protest on the beach about a month ago and 40 cops showed up and arrested 8 protestors. It seems that if one protests on the beach it is 100x more of a crackdown than anywhere else. Something about the beach (watch the water?).
The bars are open until around 11PM as there is curfew in place. Yet at many of the bars, nobody is masked and people are drinking dancing and having fun like its 2018.
Some people report strange helicopters at night while curfew is on. The government is starting to threaten roadblocks and forced vaccinations. This part is very worrying, but many citizens here still carry guns, so that won't play out too well here.
So for the most part, not many people are dying here with OMICRON and life is pushing to get back to normal. The government keeps on hyping up the virus and threatening compulsory vaccination. Most are suspicious of it as government here has never given a F about anyone here but themselves.
So it seems this is a coordinated push worldwide. I don't understand why Trump would push for the vaccine. That is a mystery. I won't be taking it. I think the vaccine might help older people, but thats about it? I won't be putting that into my body.
So we continue to wait it out and see what the next government speech brings. Hopefully one day we win this quickly and decisively. So wishing you great USA Patriots well from the deep South.
