Omicron reported in more countries, officials grapple with response – The Wall Street Journal
"Emergence of fast-spreading Omicron strain prompts fears that it will worsen an already severe wave in some Western countries."
It's common cause that South African scientists identified the new Covid-19 strain and now their global peers know what to look for, Omicron is being found all over the world. The knee-jerk reaction to immediately isolate SA reflects poorly on the Western political establishment. By contrast, last night Ramaphosa reflected maturity desperately lacking elsewhere. Pretoria appears to have reflected on the past two years and concluded Covid-19 is going nowhere, so best we learn to live with it. Nice one Cyril. – Alec Hogg
