Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) are recommending that COVID-19 mitigation methods like masking on planes be reemphasized for regions like North America and Europe in response to the spread of the XBB.1.5 omicron subvariant, which is believed to be significantly more transmissible than previous mutations.
Catherine Smallwood, senior emergency officer for the WHO, was asked during a briefing on Tuesday whether travelers from the U.S. should be subject to travel checks due to the spread of XBB.1.5. More than 70 percent of cases in the Northeastern U.S. are currently attributed to the subvariant.

He can be funny. I don’t stay up to watch. I met him once in Maine and he talked about my Jacksonville beaches’ nite life.
At what point does more transmissible have little effect. For example, if it took 2 seconds of exposure to omicron to transmit, but now takes 1 second of XBB, does this really matter?
If XBB has mild effects, does the transmissibility really matter?
Asimov wrote a story called The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline. It was about a chemical that dissolved before it makes contact with water. Similar to a virus that harms people before it infects them.
