Yeah and supposedly over half of American voters chose this senile libtard idiot, over a guy who had the economy cooking, border under control, swimming in oil, low gas prices, no inflation, low unemployment among all demographics, could handle a speech without reading the teleprompter, and saying things like "end of quote", and on and on. An utter stuttering fool of a Took!
But noooooooooooooo!
Trump was a mean tweeter, liked women, ate at McDonalds, had goofy hair and was all about America first! What a POS!

The average American doesnt have enough brains to pour piss out of a boot! That we have members here who voted for Sippy Cup is an embarrassment!
Worst president in the history of America!

The dominoes are falling. Netherlands, Israel, EU discussing….
At least some are already working on protocol for admission and not just closing borders.
Fingers crossed.

The formal naming ceremony at WHO takes place today at some point. Perhaps, Beta carotene…. That’s taken
Maybe…. Beta Beta.

I know SOB.

I’ll just leave it to the experts.

Master Beta?

I bet Delta will be first in line to cancel flights, United, second. I'd put my bet on Qatar. Ethiopian, I wouldn't fly for free.

Considering the US State Department is telling Americans to leave Ethiopia as there will be no rescue, I would not step foot on an Ethiopian flight either.

OMICRON....sounds like one of the transformer cars....

The previous variant of Covid was Nu. In between Nu and Omicron in the Greek alphabet is Xi. Now you have to wonder if the World Health Organization was pandering to the head of China by skipping over that next letter. They sure wouldn't want us to think it all originated in a lab in Wuhan, now would they?

Personally I think it’s passed time that this world wake up to the realization that this virus is here to stay. It’s time to get on with life. I see no good reason to stop travel. I was concerned, I admit, about traveling to South Africa this past year but after actually doing it I felt most of my reservations were unfounded concerning the virus and the only valid concerns were the actions of our governments and thereby the airlines. I was very impressed with the people of South Africa and their measures concerning common sense precautions like hand sanitizer everywhere. Honestly, I don’t see that here in the states. Around here hardly anyone has it a the entrance of businesses nor do many use it if it is.
I have reflected many times on what I would’ve missed had I let these worries keep me from going this year and I am so thankful I did go.
It’s time to pressure these “so called” leaders to get out of the way of the rest of us living our lives.
My take on it is if the virus terrifies you to the point that you don’t want to leave the house, that’s your business but your fear shouldn’t keep me from doing so.

This is getting unbearable. This virus will continue to mutate, we can't shut the world down forever.

Does anyone own a time machine? I want to return to the 1980s when life was fun, easy, and uncomplicated. No internet or cell phones. Less is truly more…

@ Vintageguy - I hear ya 1000% & good messaging to get on & continue living life large! I equally organized a 4/group & we travelled to the Eastern Cape Aug/Sept 2021.

The Planning started late 2020 for my preferred hunting month, May 2021.

*Travel Restrictions. Germany had strict travel requirements, testing, and quarantine upon return home - I was not deterred.
*Lockdown. Germany put us in 3rd lockdown (March) & the trip seemed to be a wipe for 2021 - I was not deterred.
*New Dates. We did not canx … we postponed, Marius @ KMG Safaris was a Champ & worked my group in for late August.
*COVID Testing. US test site failed to produce results after 48-hrs & half my group missed their Int. Flight - they were not deterred. They travelled 90-miles & retested @ a Hospital w/ same day results (worth the time/$$), then worked the phones & new Int. Flight 24-hrs later.
*RSA Testing. Professional & many options … KMG was On Point w/ COVID rules & has a solid plan in-place.
*Be Smart. Don’t be a risk taker - trust/have good COVID hygiene & precautionary measures during travel & in camp. Know the COVID testing rules for your Country ie don’t PCR Test if your Country only requires an Antigen test upon return.

*Most Important. Get out & travel, support the hunting industry & live your pre-COVID life! Happy Trails.
