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 — or one in six — of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

i only mask for drs offices, the dentist, and other high risk environments.

if i worked with the general public or lived/interacted with high risk individuals on the regular, i’d behave differently.
