If you just read the quote, you would think that we were encouraging people to wear masks to protect each other, particularly the most vulnerable...
Just for a quick comparison from a year ago...
Cumulative Deaths, Cases
54, 5,567 - up until 27 June 2021
3508, 2,775,365 - up until 27 June 2022
Interesting:
- ~5,000 Omicron re-infections
- 91 days between infections (to be considered a re-infection)
In 6 weeks, BA.2 has replaced Delta as second most dominant in 🇩🇰(46%) to BA.1(53%).
In 🇦🇺(with very low testing numbers), BA.2 has gone from <1% to 6% = Delta in 4 weeks.

Interesting to see the comparison over the next few weeks.
It's interesting to look at covariants.org/per-country 🇩🇰 V good at sequencing & you can see BA.2 (21L) gaining, not seeing that in 🇫🇷 yet. Growth in 🇸🇪🇿🇦🇮🇳 some signs in other countries but too few samples. Just beginning in 🇬🇧 Still impressive the numbers that 🇬🇧 is sequencing.
