Abstract
Worldwide, COVID-19 immunizations have avoided millions of fatalities, hospitalizations, and severe diseases since they were first made available. Vaccines can protect against dangerous diseases, but even so, after receiving a shot, it's still possible to spread SARS-CoV-2 to other people.

It was only a matter of time before yet another new COVID-19-causing SARS-CoV-2 strain appeared and spread. The evolution of coronaviruses is well documented. The strain for this summer is known as EG.5, often called Eris (a moniker for the Greek goddess of strife and discord). The number of infections caused by Eris, an ancestor of Omicron, has already overtaken that of all other coronavirus subvariants in the country. EG.5 viruses have not yet aroused any alarms over the severity of the illness, but There are early signs that it might spread more quickly. It is currently more common than XBB.1.16, another extraordinarily contagious Omicron subvariant that grabbed headlines just a few months ago (also known as Arcturus). Early indications indicate that EG.5 is currently spreading more quickly than any other virus.
