The coronavirus strain nicknamed “eris” was responsible for more than 1 in 5 new infections in recent weeks, according to updated data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
EG.5, or “eris,” is the top strain circulating in the U.S., causing nearly 22% of cases over the past two weeks, according to CDC data. The strain has been increasing in recent weeks as XBB.1.5 declines.
It’s also the most prevalent strain globally, according to the World Health Organization. The U.N. health agency designated EG.5 a “variant of interest,” warning that it could cause a rise in cases globally.
EG.5 appears more transmissible and better able to evade immunity provided by vaccines and previous infection, according to WHO. But it hasn’t been associated with more severe disease.
Its rise in the U.S. comes as COVID-19 hospitalizations have increased for six straight weeks.
The CDC’s variant tracker does not yet include BA.2.86, a highly mutated strain that has been found in low levels in the U.S. According to the CDC, BA.2.86 was responsible for less than 1% of infections over the past two weeks in the U.S.
The CDC updated its risk assessment for BA.2.86 this week. It said that based on current data, “existing tests used to detect and medications used to treat COVID-19 continue to be effective with this variant.”
Additionally, researchers believe the new COVID-19 booster shots set to roll out this month will likely protect against severe disease and hospitalization from the strain.
B | 去年东京奥运会,巴西女排挺进决赛,最后不敌美国女排摘银。这支南美老牌劲旅在巴黎奥运周期继续由老帅吉马良斯执掌。该队在新老交替的力度不亚于中国女排,此次的参赛阵容仅保留了6名东京奥运参赛主力,吉马良斯把大部分名额留给了年轻队员。在前两周分站赛上,巴西女排累积六胜两负,暂列第三。中国女排在这场比赛中的首发阵容由主攻李盈莹、王云蕗,副攻袁心玥、王媛媛,接应龚翔宇,二传刁琳宇和自由人王唯漪组成。陈佩妍在第二局打成13比17之际被换上场,这是她在今年联赛期间第一次登场,也是入选新一届中国女排以来首度亮相国际赛场。以20比25和23比25连丢两局后,中国女排逐渐找到克制对手的办法,除了李盈莹和龚翔宇火力全开之外,副攻线上的得分也逐渐增多,并以25比18和25比21连扳两局,在大比分上打成2比2。中国女排在决胜局前半段心态过急,以5比8落后。蔡斌在技术暂停期间提醒队员,出手要果断。
C | 趁着巴西女排同样出现起伏,中国女排一度追至9比10,可惜还是未能扭转局面,中国女排最后以11比15惜败。对中国女排应多些宽容 在这场角逐之前,前中国男排主教练汪嘉伟在接受采访时力挺昔日弟子蔡斌,称赞他头脑灵活,呼吁外界在胜负上对现阶段的中国女排多一些宽容,毕竟这并不算世界顶级赛事,而且两大绝对主力朱婷和张常宁还未回归。汪嘉伟调侃才50多岁的蔡斌其实在中国女排主教练这个位置上还是“菜鸟”,所以外界应该对他以及中国女排都不要太心急。“每个队伍都有低谷期,要慢慢来。所有运动都有这样的规律,尤其是奥运会之后,很多队伍为了下一个四年甚至八年作准备。我们换了很多新人,第一年就要取得好成绩,这是不现实的。
