Omicron dashes hope of airline industry recovery
It has been two years and the Covid-19 virus aren't going away. Current variant called Omicron has mutated from the deadly Delta parent. Omicron is at least three times more infectious and transmissible than Delta.
Due to the transmissible nature of Omicron, many countries are again closing their borders. Japan does not allow foreigners to enter its country, USA requires a Covid19 test 24 hours before arrival, Singapore make it mandatory for inbound travelers to be tested daily for seven straight days upon entry etc.
The closing of borders and banning travelers into the countries will have a negative impact on the airline and tourism sectors. SIA shares has taken a hit again after gaining some ground before the appearance of Omicron.
The question now is how long more this pandemic will go away? With the new variant, my guess is....for a long time. Then what will happen to our beloved SIA??

I lost 6 kilogram or 13 pounds eating healthily
It's not a joke but I did lose 6 kg eating the food as shown in the video. Of course I lost the 6 kg over a couple of months. I only eat twice a day. Sometimes to reward myself, I would have cakes, ice creams etc. I like visiting McDonald's in Japan too. Stay healthy and safe and God Bless :-)

Update on captain's condition
On 4th December I wrote a post on a captain being "incapacitated" on a London bound flight. I promised to update on the matter as soon as I get more information. I am now in possession of a WhatsApp message regarding the update but will not publish it due to privacy concern. However, I will give a summary of what was in the message.
The captain had a seizure but recovered after 20 minutes. He was sent to the hospital where a MRI CT scan was taken. The result showed he had a "tumor right side". The WhatsApp message did not specify where was the tumor but I suspect it may have been on the right side of his brain. He was prescribed medication to prevent the recurrence of seizures. He is recovering and is "mobile n lucid".

Three cheers for Omicron!
This article by a German health expert said the "Omicron variant could be a Christmas gift" as it may spread faster, more infectious but less severe. Personally, I tend to agree with the professor. It's more severe than the usual seasonal flu but it will not kill nor create havoc like the Delta variant. In this aspect, it is good news for everyone except the big pharmacies and those that profited immensely from the pandemic.
Hip hip hooray to the airlines and tourism industries. You and the world will recover, thanks to Omicron! SIA will soar again and higher this time. Praise God for his mighty power which overcome the evil deeds of the devil and his offspring.

Omicron passengers on SQ 211 into Sydney
SIA said on Monday that its pilots and crew who operated on Flight SQ211 will abide by these measures, in accordance with the guidance from the authorities. Read more here
I understand the crew that operated the flight SQ 211 arriving SYD on 29 November did not disembark at SYD but instead arrived back Singapore as passengers on the return flight. The crew had come into contact with the 2 passengers who were tested positive for Omicron....
