COVID cases in South Africa, the epicenter of the Omicron outbreak, have continued to fall rapidly, despite other governments pressing the panic button over the new variant.
Having already imposed 'Plan B' restrictions, the UK government and others on the continent are considering even more draconian measures to stop a "Tsunami" of Omicron cases.
Covid cases falling quite rapidly in South Africa now.
As we highlighted earlier, health authorities in South Africa have even suggested stopping tracing and quarantining those who have come into contact with Omicron because it isn't helping to stop the spread of the variant, which only causes mild symptoms anyway.
Last week, South African Health Minister Joe Phaahla said that only 1.7% of COVID cases in the current Omicron wave are being hospitalised compared to 19% in the previous wave.
South Africa has clearly seen the worst of its Omicron outbreak and has dealt with it adeptly without having to impose any new restrictions or ruin people's Christmas and New Years celebrations.
Perhaps somebody should inform UK health authorities, who continue to panic over Omicron in a bid to terrify the British public into accepting yet another horrendously damaging lockdown, despite the fact that only 12 people have died with the variant.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
