In case you wonder how it is the world might have missed a new, concerning #COVID19 variant (BA.2.86) until it had spread to multiple nations, this chart shows you the number of sequences collected by month. We're at the lowest point in three years. Letting our guard down prematurely.

Do you believe countries should go back to masks etc.?

@His I'd be happy with mask mandates on public transportation and in hospitals. But, I don't think any nation is going to go back to mandating masks. So, I'm masking when I'm crowds and opting for outdoor activities.

My opnion about the whole mask debate is that the people who want to wear it can do so.

E.g. Sweden didn't have mask mandates or lockdown, and they were one of the most successful contries in fighting covid.
