Staff at Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth Polar Station had to follow STRICT safety measures to enter the base.
DESPITE having to follow strict safety measures; being fully vaccinated, passing multiple PCR tests and quarantining before entering its Polar Station, two-thirds of the 25 staff based at Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth in Antarctica – one of the most remote places in the world – have caught Covid after an almost impossible outbreak.
Although living miles from civilisation, a large percentage of the staff have been infected by the virus that spread from a single positive case, which was detected on December 14, among a group of people who had arrived at the base seven days earlier.
Despite this person being immediately placed into isolation, tests revealed that two others had also contracted the virus – leading to the eventual outbreak.
All three people were eventually evacuated on December 23, but not before the virus had spread further. Now, the two emergency doctors at the station are not allowing any new arrivals at the station until the virus dissipates.
Prior to arriving at the base, all 25 polar researchers at the zero-emissions base in remote Antarctica underwent a PCR test in Belgium two hours before flying to South Africa, then once there, they were quarantined for 10 days and took another PCR test.
A further test was needed when leaving Cape Town for Antarctica and a final one five days after that.
All 25 of the staff are fully vaccinated and one had a booster shot.
The research will now be shortened, according to Belgium’s Polar Secretariat, and staff will stay there until at least January 12, when new expeditions are set to arrive.

This is getting so ridiculous I'm perplexed that anyone still falls for this bullshit. I mean, have the entire world gone insane? How is the narrative even remotely credible?

Kek... The 'super scary China virus' can get you anywhere. Maybe it's time for daily booster shots?DESPITE having to follow strict safety measures; being fully vaccinated, passing multiple PCR tests and quarantining before entering its Polar Station, two-thirds of the 25 staff based at Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth in Antarctica – one of the most remote places in the world – have caught Covid after an almost impossible outbreak.

Obviously they need privacy for this story to break, but why? What the fuck would people find if they just showed up unannounced? Why are the US Marshals down there if it's a demilitarized zone?

Harm? By scientists? Funny contradiction there...The 32-nation group, responsible for regulating human activity on the frozen continent, also moved closer to adopting a standard procedure for measuring the harm being done to the environment by scientists.
Which is funny because the very entities calling for restrictions are causing this "damage". Scientific or environmental importance you say, of what - Ice and rock?Currently, only regions deemed to be of scientific or environmental importance can be protected under the treaty, leaving other regions open to unchecked human activity.
And there it is. Pitty Admiral Byrd said in the 1950's that there's enough coal to supply the world and there's also Uranium there.The lure of mineral exploitation in Antarctica has prompted some countries to begin research activity there, while other nations have increased the scope of their existing experimentation.
