Would have to say I agree with South Africa when they say they are being punished for finding a new Variant. It makes you think why any nation would spend time and effort finding mutations when you get a travel ban against you as a reward. It may not of even originated in South Africa ffs. It could have come from anywhere. And a new variant of concern may not even be as fatal as viruses overtime usually do just that... become less deadly. But we have global hysteria over Omicron now, so time to wave the the white flag it seems and bolt the door shut. I don't know. But what I do know is I doubt any nation is going to look for new variants now and just hope some other nation declares they have found it first to save your nation an economic hardship.
