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.

combination of most people having been infected with CV19 at least once

I remember when Americans were sending their kids to CoViD parties, thinking it was like the Measles.

It ended horrifically.

Talk to a doc and follow those recommendations.
