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 dunno if we need to worry in Canada. There's been almost no deaths al associated with COVID in a while now. Worst case, people get hospitalised but that's it. We've built a pretty good social immunity thanks to vaccination.

It's the other countries who don't have our resources that are more at risk. We need to send them vaccines so the can immunize themselves properly.
