Mutant Covid strain: 50% Indians want flights banned


New Delhi, Dec 21 (IANS): To limit the spread of mutated variant of novel Coronavirus from the UK and South Africa reaching Indian shores, 50 percent of citizens want bubble flights from impacted countries to be suspended, a survey revealed on Monday.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on December 19, announced that the newly identified strain of the virus may be up to 70 percent more transmissible. His Health Secretary Matt Hancock emphasized that the new variant is "out of control".

The infectious mutation of the Covid-19 virus has caused serious concern around the world. Saudi Arabia, Italy, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, etc., have banned flights to and from the UK after a report of the mutant strain came to the fore.

'LocalCircles' conducted a survey on 7,091 people after the news also created ripples in India, which is already reeling under the burden of coronavirus infections with over 1 crore and 50,000 cases already.

A question -- 'a new variant of coronavirus has been found in UK and South Africa which is more infectious. What should be India's approach to bubble flight arriving from such countries?' was asked to the participants.

To this, 50 percent of participants said that they want bubble flights from impacted countries suspended, while 41 percent sought mandatory 14-day quarantine for arriving passengers.

Six percent of citizens said that India should continue with the current rules treating flights from these countries similar to others, while three percent of people voted 'can't say'.

It is yet to be seen what steps India takes to limit the mutant virus from entering the country. Earlier today, the Health Ministry had called an emergency meeting of its top advisors to discuss the issue.

    Good News!
    Yeah, the faster it spreads the more people it will infect & herd immunity will be there to prevent any future waves.
    Any virus is known to mutate many times to survive & its span of 2 years will end its spread as well as its potency to do any harm. So nothing to worry, the pandemic hoax has been exposed in western countries for this reason they want to keep the fear in their public to control them indefinitely through these tricks.
    People have to prevent the Great Reset they are planning treating people like pawns. It is very strange most of the time Conservatives & Right oriented Presidents & Prime Ministers are playing their part in furthering Chinease Version of Lock & create panic & ruining their own economy for an infectious virus that has only 0.003% mortality rate. Why they don't see the examples of Sweden & Japan I wonder.
    One more good news Is one African country tested Coca Cola & it is Positive always for covid, So don't drink any colas from now on, thereby improving health.

    Jesus on these evil ones first create the problem by dispersing a deadly virus. They then create the solution with a shutdown to ruin your economy, and distribute vaccines that will actually kill the people in a message to John leary dated Thursday, May 7, 2020

    Jesus said: “My people, I have warned you that you would see a lull in the summer, and then a worse mutation of the corona virus would be spread all over the earth. This is why you are seeing a darkness of death spread all over the earth. It is the deep state that is using a retrovirus (RNA vs DNA) of the corona virus to reduce the population. A retrovirus refers to an HIV virus that is part of the novel corona virus. The deep state will be spreading this new mutated virus using the chemtrails. These same evil ones want to develop a vaccine for the virus, but this vaccine will lower your immune system and make you more likely to get sick and die. Refuse to take any vaccine or flu shot that could kill you. When many people are dying from this next virus in the fall, I will call My faithful to My refuges, where you will be healed and protected.”


    Jesus said: “My son, you have been doing some research, and you are seeing how evil our medical leaders are to make money on this pandemic virus. You have heard this plan before. These evil ones first create the problem by dispersing a deadly virus. They then create the solution with a shutdown to ruin your economy, and distribute vaccines that will actually kill the people. There are good physicians, but you have deep state leaders who are following the devil’s plan to reduce the population. Beware of these evil ones who are misleading your President. Come to My refuges when I will call you.”
