The variant is called EG.5 and is a descendant of Omicron.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that EG.5 accounted for roughly 17.3 per cent β€” or one in six β€” of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

Thanks for being the only voice of reason. Everyone else is just like "ya but we don't die so who gives a fuck" attitude.

I'm glad some people are still looking at COVID as a whole.

I mean you need only look at the people in your daily life to realize there aren't many people who care anymore. Simple things like wearing a mask are off the table for the vast majority.

I think a lot of us are, I just feel folks who are thinking big-picture aren't the type to make a lot of noise on the internet about it, ya know?
