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.

      They aren’t cloth. Either way, you’re acting exactly like someone who definitely follows all protocols and mandates. Lmao.

      I’m blocking your dumb ass. You’re so ignorant. You challenged me on mask wearing, I show proof, and you’re telling me it’s not a COVID safe mask. Didn’t realize COVID was around in 2015.

      Go be a dick elsewhere.

        Lie about the mask, supposedly wears a mask in 2015 that provides no stop to viruses. Claims moral high ground with no standing. Cope.
