This month we continue to see the Covid-19 waning down and earlier on we recalled that the Biden administration would declare the pandemic to be over by May 11. We have no idea where Biden has this impression and in fact it was sometime in January he made the statement.
This pandemic has been haunting the world for three full years now and no one knows the financial damage that it has cost us. I start to talk about the foresight and the hindsight it could have brought us. The question is if we would ever learn.
When I am recording the Covid-19 cases from the countries that I have picked and lately I found that some of them have stopped reporting already. Those countries could have thought that it is a waste of time and effort and I won’t blame them.
And earlier during the month I have read that there is this new variant from Omicron known as XBB.1.16 and also known as Arcturus. The epidemiologists said that it is very similar to the XBB.1.5 which is still the leading virus.
At this stage, I would recommend to take the precaution and not to appear in the crowded area in order not to be affected.
