With the latest Covid variant coming down from Singapore, to pay us a visist, XBB, with a sprinkling of BQ.1, Queensland medical technocrats have recommended another round of face masks in certain settings, and some are proclaiming that the death counts will rise, although Singapore health Minister Ong Ye Kung said: "XBB is demonstrating characteristics that it is dominating over all other sub-variants. It has been detected in many parts of the world but in Singapore is rising very fast – within three weeks from nothing, it is now over half of all the daily cases." There is no evidence he said that the new variant leads to more severe outcomes. Another Covid storm in a tea cup, or is it, syringe?
It seems that the Australian Covid establishment have trouble letting go, and have nostalgia for the good old lockdown days.
