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.

The thing is, I believe it. I have to no proof, but 15-minute cities would totally cut in to oil and car manufacturers profits and they’ve been known to do that kind of thing before. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s an intriguing point. Before the car, city living was nearly unheard of.
