New(new to those that just acknowledged it... its really like
been over a year circulating and in the making ) variant with
immune escape potential confirmed in US, 22 other countries
March 23, 2026
The highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2 variant, which has been
reported by at least 23 countries as of February 11, has been
detected in nasal swabs collected from four US travelers,
clinical samples from five patients, three airplane wastewater
samples, and 132 wastewater surveillance samples from 25 states
BA.3.2 mutations in the spike protein could reduce protection
from a vaccination or infection, “continued genomic surveillance
is needed to track SARS-CoV-2 evolution and determine its
potential effect on public health,” they added.

COMMENT:
It is worth mentioning Covid can include Long Covid as well.
N95 masks help prevent airborne illnesses and airborne diseases,
The Masked Man
P.S. People should be masking by now.
Man!, the maskless people really have it tough.. what a horrible
way to live!
I tell you one thing I'd be freak'in out if I was maskless. I
don't see how the maskless people can handle living like that
day to day with that covid and long covid hanging over ya. To me
it would be like some stranger you don't know or trust is right
there over your shoulder all the time or always there behind you
breathing down your neck. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night
if I hadn't worn my mask in public that day... I'd be worrying
all night thinking this covid, this new variant could really
ruin me! I'd be wondering it was worth standing next to some
maskless dummy out in public and if just because I talked to
some stupid maskless person who was standing too close me could
have given it to me.
Thank the heavens for my mask!... all I did today was ride my
bike past some maskless moron in the sidewalk and I went way
around him. I had my mask on of course so I should be fine.... I
also went up to some maskless phone company guy who was in my
yard looking at a telephone pole .. he informed me they are
putting in some fast internet line .. I had my mask on for that
too. I'm not stupid.. I'm not risking covid for a stupid
frivolous encounter with a telephone guy or any fool out in
public ... I stood far away from that maskless sitting duck,
found out what he was doing in my yard, and then when I got
back inside I just slap some soap over parts of my body and
sprayed my bandannas and outer part of mask with just a little
rubbing alcohol....
....So I'd say I probally won't get it like the maskless will. I
should be fine ..right? It's all about me, man! ;) At this
stage I just concentrate on my own safety and I try to keep my
distance from the maskless. God help them. So far so good for
me. I wear a mask so I don't keep the variants alive and I don't
need divine interventions to save me from the risks of covid or
long covid and I probably don't have to worry about giving it to
my loved one either because we mask and I wash my hands and
change my clothes. It's an awesome feeling. What's really cool
is I always mask outdoors anyway. This is a piece of cake for
me.
I got it made because I've already got six years of successfull
public and outdoor masking experience. It's easy for me. Masking
is a strong formed established habit and like second nature for
this old boy! I don't have to do anything different from what I
am already doing. I'm scared for society .. you never know with
each new variant what exactly will be the repercussions of this
evolving covid and long covid. To me that's just Russian
roulette to go maskless nowadays with all the crap that is going
on. To me Its like the world is way too big for it's own
britches.. I'm just going to be humble, mask and try to stay out
of it as much as possible.
Seriously don't you think it rude?... I take care of an elderly
loved one and we mask and some maskless stranger is in my yard
next to the telephone pole.. I have to go out there and ask if
this work is going to impact on the land by the telephone pole
because I don't want them altering a mound there on the property
that serves a little like a dam or bank so that when the floods
enter the field water won't enter the yard ... whatever! Its not
real close to the house but I swear it's rude to go onto
someones property without a mask or at least have one ready so
you can put one on for a guy who is masking.. If you work in the
general public always have a mask ready so you can at least
mask for those you serve who might actually be masking such as
me the Masked Man! What if some little old lady needs your help
or something and you can't mask for her!? That would be pathetic
nowadays in this era. I don't particularly like maskless people
approaching me especially in my own yard!
I can't imagine waking up wondering if this will be a really bad
bout of covid for the maskless this time round. That's why I
mask! For who can live with the uncertainty or rather the
certainty of getting covid! Who in there right mind would want
to play around with that chance of long covid? I love my
mask.... it keeps me from worrying as much about people that
make me and each other sick.
I do wonder if with each new variant if it will be a really bad
case of covid again for the maskless. Wear a mask it will help
me feel safer for ya too!
NOTE: seriously how can this variant be 'new' considering its
already in 22 countries? That's impossible for something to be
new that has been circulating in 22 countries already! I think I
remember reading that the variant has been circulating since
2025 maybe even late 2024 .. I guess they mean its becoming
more prevalent rather than new.
