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 mean there’s plenty to worry about besides death. I don’t understand why people discount all the other potentially life altering effects of COVID.
Ah yes, you’re right. There are potential lifetime effects to COVID. I forgot about those. A couple of friends of mine have been permanently affected with various problems like asthma since catching it.

You know I really wish I hadn’t caught COVID at some point and lost the ability to sleep properly at some point.
That sucks :( What happened?
Welcome to long covid, where your body has adrenaline attacks at random points in the middle of the night.
Not downplaying what you’re going through but that sounds like anxiety attacks. But I’m no doctor so what do I know.
That’s so weird though. Did you get any kind of diagnosis from a doctor? Have you tried any medication?
Long COVID. It’s one of the neurological problems left over.
1.4 of 38-odd million is absolutely not rare, it’s nearly 1 in 50. The US figures are even worse. For something to be considered medically rare, it needs to be at most 1 in 10,000.
Long term symptoms aren’t rare. It’s at least one in ten people. And a lot of people are in denial and refuse to accept they’re scewed.
