The BA.3.2.* COVID variant is nicknamed "Cicada". It's been underground for a while.
Masks stop it, but maths is my prime concern. We must reduce transmission, so it has limited opportunity to mutate further.

In a world in which few people have undamaged immune systems, the unusual will become far more common.
Me, counselling someone.
We are going to have to get better at counselling young people with late stage cancer. We are going to see a lot more of this, as people don’t realise they are at risk, and to take symptoms seriously.
Sometimes diagnoses will be missed because we don’t expect them.

When most people say "during Covid" they mean "when we did infection control in schools".
"Not controlling the spread of disease at all" results in more illness than "doing something to control the spread of disease".
So of course it's "worse than Covid".

She asked:

I said I did not know.
And so she answered:
Because in the US

Straight talk:
Unless the masses put aside their denial of Covid-19, and accept the necessity of wearing respirator masks in all situations of potential contagion, the human community will not survive.
The harm resulting from Covid-19 is increasing, and time is running out.

When public health advises 40%-60% relative humidity to prevent viral transmission it runs smack up against the domain of building science and engineering. Water is the enemy of buildings. Condensation at 19°C & 43% RH, and -7°C outdoors.
That's why Health Canada recommends 30%-50%. /1
