#1 Fools. They're doing exactly the opposite of what they should do now that COVID is proven endemic. Meanwhile:

South Africa will no longer impose COVID-19 quarantines and stop most contact tracing — now that as much as 80 percent of the country has gained immunity through previous infections, health officials said.

#3 Gee, imagine if our moronic rulers were to follow the common-sense South African authorities and do this:

But the [South African] health agency will continue contact tracing for outbreaks in congregate settings, in which they’ll ask people who have been exposed to get tested only if they begin showing symptoms.

“All contacts must continue with their normal duties with heightened monitoring (daily temperature testing, symptom screening) of any early signs,” the release said. “If they develop symptoms then they should be tested and be managed according to the severity of the symptoms.”

Common sense. Proper epidemiological practice based on a solid grasp of evolutionary biology. Respect for people, families, businesses.

And this isn't from America or Canada, Europe or Australia but from South Africa!

Will miracles never cease? O Night Divine!

#4 Back in the USSA, we are tyrannized by Woke Morons -- like Scott Kirby, the vermine United Airlines CEO.

Here's Sen. Cruz, fighting back (thank G-d) and grilling the United Airlnes CEO:

Sen. Ted Cruz went on to describe the egregious treatment various employees have received from United.

"One of the messages was from a pilot who flew for United for more than two decades, who applied for, and received an exemption from your vaccine mandate on religious grounds, and was subsequently placed on leave with no pay, and np benefits—including medical insurance. Now his wife, who relies on her husbands insurance, has had to postpone a necessary surgery with no idea of when she’ll be able to reschedule because she has no idea of when her husband will be able to fly again. And you’re simultaneously enforcing a noncompete so this pilot cannot even go work for your competitors!

"Another message I received from another pilot, a constituent, self-described proud Texan, flew for the Air Force for almost three decades, including missions in Asia, now found himself on indefinite unpaid leave with a denial of all benefits to include medical, dental, vision, insurance, disability, travel privileges, crew member access to jump seats, denied access to his retirement savings. This morning, I spoke with a 10-year flight attendant for United, a woman name is Adrianna Uballe, who is a single mom, a Hispanic single mom from Texas, who you fired. She received her termination notice tied in a trash can to her front gate. I have a letter here from Ms. Uballe describing the disgraceful treatment she received at the hands of United. ..."

The senator described United’s actions as “deeply disturbing.”

He cited the recent opinion of Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James Ho, who described the likelihood of United employees succeeding on the merits in their case against Kirby as “compelling and convincing at this stage.”
