Amsterdam Story Over Omikron

 I followed the Amsterdam airport episode with the 600-odd people who flew in from South Africa, and were mandated to test before being allowed 'out'.

So Focus talked about this 'event', and you just sit there amazed.

Fear strike the medical authorities and they went to management this (in a crappy fashion).

So the 600-odd people were led into a large room, and told to wait....till the testing folks arrived.  Several hours (four) passed.

Then testing started.  

Acceptable hygienic situation?  NO.

Someone described the scene....masks were marginally enforced.  Some wore them correctly....some just over the mouth.

This was a unventilated room, in case you were wondering....so the air was breathed upon, and stayed there for others to breathe.  

It's quiet possible that folks got off their plane (two plane groups), and wandered into the hall, not yet having Covid-Omikron.  But thanks to the airport folks and medical folks.....in that four hour period....they were able to get Omikron while waiting.  

Crapped-up situation?  No doubt.  What's funny here.....you could have one single family who bumped into someone at the airport in South Africa....maybe at a restaurant, or maybe at some ticket-desk, or even in the premier-lounge area.....who gave that one family the virus.  They flew into Amsterdam, crowded up with the six-hundred and passed the virus around to sixty-odd others while waiting.

It's the type of mess you'd write as a script for Monty Python, and just shake your head over.  

So everything is finished, with the sixty identified?  Well....NO.  My humble guess, from the 550-odd people remaining now who were deemed 'safe'.....over the next couple of days....probably another hundred of them will test and be found positive with Omikron.  By the time you count up the taxi-drivers, hotel personnel, others along the way.....that group probably infected another three-hundred.
