Concern over the emergence of yet another Covid variant has prompted the Biden administration to begin implementing travel restrictions from some countries in South Africa and elsewhere:

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: the White House is restricting travel from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Malawi — starting Monday — due to concerning new covid variant. UK & other European countries took same action today

NEW: Biden to ban travel from South Africa, seven other African nations in response to the new COVID variant, Omicron.

And with that in mind, a tweet from @JoeBiden last year brings the “science” into perspective:

A wall will not stop the coronavirus.

Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it.

This disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet — and we need a plan to combat it.

Gee, what changed?

Typical political buffoonery. When the opposing party does a thing, it's the wrong thing. But when your party does the same thing, it's the smart move. #COVID19 #Omicron #Science See: https://t.co/BnRJ8C5AIx pic.twitter.com/F571yno5Wr
