Jason Posted November 28, 2021 #114345 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's one thing to ringfence the countries effected and should be accompanied by donation of vaccines to those countries. Two benefits. We curb it's spread and we find out if the vaccines work against it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael0510 Posted November 28, 2021 #114447 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Interesting idea to shut down a country for a variant, that causes unusual mild symptoms. What will they do, if there were a new variant, that causes unusual hard symptoms? Will they nuke themselves? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Israel has closed down the Country for two weeks whilst the new virus is being investigated to find out more about it . Astute thing to do, really , rather than waiting for a few days and allowing people from the infected Countries to arrive in your Country 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolie Posted November 28, 2021 #114458 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Well the one time I visited Israel I felt as welcome as a whoopsie in a swimming pool so it's no major loss to me. Nice chicks though, some very presentable border guards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soidog Posted November 28, 2021 #114615 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I like the Israelis, they act decisively and take no shit from anyone. Even if you think it’s an over reaction, it’s still clear and swift. I’ve been to Isreal on 4 occasions all for work reasons. The Israelis have some great telecoms engineers and companies. Always made to feel very welcome and never had any issues whatsoever. Some beautiful looking women as a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokBen Posted November 28, 2021 #114652 Share Posted November 28, 2021 A country with one of the world's highest vaccination rates shuts their borders to a variant that so far, has not been shown to be more dangerous. And within a month, they will have cases anyway. Just like New Zealand with Delta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in our forces, we used to say, FFS make a decision and stand by it! The Israelis do and you're right, they take zero s..t, for this alone they are to be admired. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
