Omicron Hits US, as Australia Goes Crazy When People Escape Their COVID Camp – Opinion

By Pluralist / December 1, 2021

Joe Biden made remarks Monday regarding the Omicron version’s birth. When queried about whether there would be a return to lockdowns, Biden said no, “for now” and followed that by saying, “if people are vaccinated and wear their mask, there’s no need for lockdown.”

Translation? You can expect more restrictions. Joe Biden advises that people wear their masks. However, even after the announcement regarding the variant was made, Joe Biden still violated his own words. That’s just since Monday. As we reported earlier, tomorrow, he’s going to be announcing restrictions on people trying to enter the country. He’s already instituted a ban on travel from eight African nations.

Now, there’s word that they’ve found an Omicron variant case in California. So it’s here, and that’s going to make Biden drop the hammer even more.

But if we’re concerned about the crazy that may ensure from Biden over the Omicron variant, we can look to Australia to see how crazy it can truly get.

Howard Springs in Australia is home to a quarantine camp that allows people to be, even children, quarantined.

Three teenagers — ages 15, 16, and 17 — escaped the camp, climbing over the fence to get out at about 4:30 a.m. The virus was not tested in them but they are still locked up in the camp because they were in close proximity to someone who has.

These were the officers searching for escapees. They checked cars and trucks.

The escapees were caught, and the police said they didn’t think that they had come into contact with anyone in the community.

NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner said there was low risk, “But there is absolutely no excuse for the actions of these three this morning.”

The facility called the “Centre for National Resilience” has people affected by COVID in the region, as well as people returning to the country from repatriation flights.

At the press conference, Mr Gunner said authorities were dealing with “a pretty complicated cohort at the Centre for National Resilience right now, with complex needs.”

“This the first time we’ve had to use the centre for large numbers of people from an Aboriginal community, but it probably won’t be the last time,” he said.

Positive cases, as well as hundreds of close family members and household members have flown to Darwin for quarantine since November 15th when Katherine and Robinson River were confirmed to be infected.

Mr. Gunner said the isolation in quarantine was “pretty hard for some people … used to being close to family and community.”

According to him, the possibility of an escape would mean an increase in the amount of time that teenagers had to be kept under quarantine.

“Absconding from Howard Springs isn’t just dangerous — it is incredibly stupid,” he said.

“Because we will catch you and there will be consequences.”

Gunner stated that people who escape will face a $5,024 fine for violating the directives of the Chief Medical Officer.

It’s hard to believe what they are doing in a supposedly free society in Australia. They are keeping people — including teenagers — in a camp, teenagers who don’t even have the virus, but people who had contact with people who were positive for the virus. They were hunting the escapees down like they’re mass murderers, searching through car trunks. They’re locking up people who are largely aboriginal peoples, and they say “it probably wouldn’t be the last time.”

How do they think this is right, makes sense, or is protective of people’s rights? I’m not going to use the “c” word for the people held in this camp. But this is just fundamentally wrong and a society that doesn’t see the problems with it, that uses a propaganda name like the “Centre for National Resilience,” needs to reexamine itself.
