New Zealand’s fifth Covid-19 wave appears to be driving the largest spike in infections seen all year, an epidemiologist says - and offers a glimpse of our long-term future with the coronavirus.

 

Health officials yesterday announced 7881 new reported Covid-19 cases over the week to Sunday, of which 1474 were “probable” cases – that was up from 5947 and 1047 respectively on the week before.

 

Hospitalisation numbers, too, had ticked upward, from 284 to 349 week-on-week, as had virus detected in wastewater surveillance.

Expect increased masking tomorrow.

Assuming the (ghastly) Thai t.v has gotten wind of it. 🤦‍♂️

I actually heard the phrase ''next normal'' on Thai radio.
