I really can't believe that masking mostly stopped. This thing just endlessly evolves, and there was no real reason we should have, people just plain didn't want to, and this will keep rebounding.

So does the Bivalent booster help with this one or does a new booster need to be developed? Basically is there anything we can do besides normal germ avoidance procedures?

I think any booster will give you some additional resistance to covid, however if it isn't targeted to a specific strain then it will not be the most effective.
