Health risk of EG.5, which is related to Omicron subvariant, judged to be low but may drive larger wave of infections
I can’t believe this is happening after we did absolutely nothing to stop it
I prayed to God really really hard one time for there to be an end to COVID. That should have been enough.
We prayed and prayed and prayed for a cure and all we got are 3 vaccines we don’t want to take and doctors telling us we need to not do things we want to do, what could have possibly gone wrong?!?!
I mean if god is going to change his plan because we ask… Not much of a plan, is it?
How can you possibly say we did nothing?
How can you say anything g serious happened to prevent the development of novel strains? What has been done to address the roots of the issue?
Whatever
are they naming covid strains like hurricanes now?
Right, they should obviously be named after ancient gods, or pornstars.
Like Eris, the Greek goddess of discord?
Yo discord has a goddess 😳😳
Hail Eris! Hail Discordia!
Politicians to blame for their spread, like heatwaves.
Oh no, not the LotLizard Lona variant.
Serial killers, Manson strain, Gein strain.
The Ancient & Anarchic Discordian Conspiracy registers its objection to the naming of a pestiferous disease after our Goddess (blessed be Her Golden Apple). We invite the WHO, CDC, FSF, SQL, and PDQ Bach to promptly rename this foul beast to something suitably icky, such as “Scumguzzle”, “Buttcoin”, or “DeSantis”.
Rename it “Bob”! Any press is good press :p
Hail Eris!
Oh god, don’t call it EG.5. all the loonatics are going to “uugg! UUuuggg! It says 5G! Dur iluminaties are not hiding it anymore!”
They’re going to dumb no matter what it’s called. Life finds a way (to dumb).
This just means it’s a variant with changes to the virus’ properties. Might come with decreased vaccine efficacy, possible increased severity or spread, but it’s not necessarily an increased public health risk, that’d be a “variant of concern”, which is when the variant significantly changes the way the virus behaves.

Omicron was the last VOC by the way, VOIs haven’t been uncommon.

Oh no, I’m blessed to have the cognizance and capacity to denegrate willfully ignorant troglodytes. If only you could be so lucky.
That attitude is why so many suffered
