Virologist Professor Tulio de Oliveira said the variant was discovered by Stellenbosch University’s Network for Genomics Surveillance on 27 December.
He added that there have been no increases in cases, hospitalisations or deaths in South Africa so far.. A kraken is a mythical giant tentacled sea monster from Scandinavian folklore. “This strain of the virus is not found in the nasopharyngeal region and directly affects the lungs for a relatively short period of time,” it said.
No.

100 bucks says Checkers security is going to ask me to wear a mask when I go there this afternoon. This is just stupid
It never stopped transmission at all, so why try now, 1 confirmed case after the new variant was identified in Oct last year ... 🤡
Summary of the comments . A lot are saying masks don’t work so they untimely reached the conclusion that lockdowns should never come back …? 🤔 how did a reach z exactly?
1' XBB.1.5 NOT A COVID-19 VARIANT OF CONCERN - DE OLIVEIRA Head of the KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform (Krisp), Tulio de Oliveira, said that he did not think that the new COVID-19 variant would cause much disruption in South Africa.
Fuck no.

Ok, thanks Government propaganda machine but, no thanks. Most of us are not that stupid. Why don't you do some real journalism or have you forgotten how to?
Masks are only effective in a sterile environment. Ask your doctor, he will confirm.

Since no South Africans wore masks the last time (they were face-coverings, not masks) what are face-coverings going to do this time around?
We will not wear masks, that will only be for the vaxxed, the unvaxced have antibodies
Nonsense
