You have horse sense of humour, but the post itself doesn't add to the debate. Unfortunately today, any variant can be geographically named on purpose with added travel restrictions. Well, the Japanese want to save the Olympics, I get it. But it doesn't mean that every mass media article has anything to do with reality.

I'm sorry Questner but I found it difficult to follow your post. I may have picked you up wrong but if you are saying there is no evidence to support the existence of new variants there is little to be gained in discussing it further.
Read my words: these new variants don't matter. If someone says they do with respect to how more contagious or lethal, ask to provide verified scientific evidence.

Not a Report. Looking to learn
So I am fully remote with my job. I can work from anywhere as long as I have internet which is great. I just got my covid shot and thinking about future trips. I am thinking about going to either the Thailand or the Philippines for a month around my birthday in October.
I have never been to Thailand before and it is on my list of places to go to. I been to the Phils about three times, and have enjoyed myself every time.
I like women with tats and piercings, and who are bi. I keep hearing Thailand is the best place for that.
I have found some nice Airbnb's in Pattaya I am looking at, also in Bangkok. But I think I rather be at the beach.
Can anybody fill me in on the amount of money I might spend in Thailand and if the women are better?
Thanks.

Who exactly the team behind the research? What type of investigation was completed? I won't even start with the notion of political and economic competition, career advancement, opportunism and power grab that follows this malady as always with any such turmoil in society. I do follow one of the major regulator (with about fifty strains now), do follow the clinical recommendations, and there is absolutely nothing in them with respect to so called variants.

Really, what about the UK variant a more contagious more virulent strain which has led to new outbreaks and shutdowns across Europe and the US. Nobody I'm aware of is fear mongering here but some of us follow the science and the data and are not in the bury your head in the sand brigade.

And the good news is that the vaccines that are being delivered can be modified in a few months to counteract these new strains, it's currently in progress and the scientists talk of delivering booster shots in the autumn.
Yes it's such a good news that we're going to all get our one jab per month to fight all these Bill and Melinda Gates's Covid19 mutations.

The experts are saying while existing vaccines may not be as efficacious against new variants they will still protect against serious illness. Hope they're right.

I agree. Until quarantine is reduced down to 3 days or less, there's no way I'm wasting my vacation time stuck in a hotel. I don't know if they understand that it's valuable time and money people are spending to vacation there.
But from their perspective, they want guidance from the CDC or WHO to say vaccinated travelers are OK. But no such luck:

The government of Thailand is painfully aware of the impact of quarantine requirements on their tourism industry. That is why they are weighing options to shorten quarantine time.
