Corona Calls for 08.07.2023 – Eris (EG.5.1)

Listen Later

Discussed in this episode:

  • CDC genomic surveillance shows a new subvariant (EG.5.1, or “Eris” to people who like to give subvariants nicknames) accounting for a larger and larger share of positive COVID tests. That could mean it’s contributing to the current surge in cases.
  • Dr. Swartzberg’s recommended reading on Long Covid: the National Institutes for Health conducts and publishes relevant research at recovercovid.org ; the Infectious Disease Society of America also publishes regular writeups on new research and treatment guidance
