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 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.

      Just a note that “Measles parties” are also likely to end badly.
