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.

fair enough. for what its worth, I just took 2 antigen tests and they were both negitive. Its good you were upfront about it. I have to go in for a minor medical procedure on the 14th and I'm calling the office to make sure they're ok I come in. If they say yes, I will go, so like you, I'm leaving it up to them. break a leg :)

All we can do is be open and honest I suppose. Unfortunately the world moved on despite covid not, so it's become harder to walk the line of what you should/and what you need to do. Thanks so much! Good luck with your procedure!
