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.

I feel this.

My immune system is shitty and terrible (suspected condition, but docs have no clue), so getting sick will cause a slew of awful things to happen to me. Last tiny sick bout I had a few months ago caused a chain reaction that landed me in the hospital. I was literally shitting blood due to a tiny infection! The specialist half-jokingly told me "Well, next time, just don't get sick!" Ha. Ha ha. Ha.

I've only had a single person comment on me wearing a mask in 3 years, thank god. My response was "How about you mind your own fucking business?" Don't wear a mask. Whatever. I won't comment on it. But leave me the fuck alone if I choose the wear one. I'm not about to explain my medical history to some snide asshole. Fuck off. I like not suffering.
