BA.2 in Connecticut
Dr. Grubaugh does the Covid sequencing in CT. BA.2 was first found in CT in early January. It has made little progress here. By contrast BA.1 appeared here in early Dec. By Dec. 20 it was over 90 percent of samples.

CDC wants to give people a break from wearing masks!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reviewing its mask guidance, shifting its focus to Covid hospitalizations as a key measure of the severity of the outbreak and future guide for determining whether health safety protocols need to be tightened, according to the agency’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
“We must consider hospital capacity as an additional important barometer,” Walensky told the public during a White House Covid update Wednesday. “We want to give people a break from things like mask-wearing when these metrics are better, and then have the ability to reach for them again should things worsen,” she said.
The CDC currently recommends that people wear masks in indoor public places regardless of their vaccination status if they live in an area with high viral transmission. Nearly every county in the U.S. has high transmission right now, according to CDC data. People are required by federal law to wear masks on planes, buses, trains and other forms of public transportation.
However, states have started easing public health measures as new infections from the omicron variant rapidly decline from their peak levels in January. New York and California have dropped mask mandates for businesses, while New Jersey has also gotten rid of its mask requirement for schools.

If I have this right this is a US drone flying over Ukraine a little while ago. Pretty interesting.
Looks like all is quiet.

This new bridge is about four miles from the border inside Russia. I guess near Chernobyl of all places. There have been Russian troop movements videoed in the area all weekend long.There are reports the Ukraine Army is on full alert. It's 2/16 in Ukraine, the day US intelligence said the Russians would invade. It must be getting near dawn there. No mention of any troop movements tonight though. You would think they would start to move under cover of darkness so maybe nothing will happen tonight.
Don't know of any good reason to build a bridge in a day though.
