It's unclear if the new subvariant causes any unfamiliar symptoms that haven't already been documented by other Omicron subvariants.

As part of a new risk evaluation released Wednesday, the World Health Organization bumped EG.5 to the same standing as XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.6, which are also members of the Omicron family tree.

I remember having my mind blown back in 2020 when reading about a bubonic plague outbreak in the early 1900s in California and learning that wealthy businesses owners and investors tried to pull a lot of the same stuff that they were again pulling in 2020 to keep businesses open. It was the same political game, the same use of media to undermine the attempt at a public health response.

I guess it always was a bit of a fantasy that we would all respond according to our own self interest.
