Luke O'Neill: Ireland sees 51% surge in cases of new 'Eris' COVID variant.
Symptoms
Prof O'Neill said symptoms can include the"same old" runny nose, sore throat, muscle aches,"but interestingly, less shortness of breath”."This one [is] less severe in terms of overall symptomology. "It's probably because our immunity is so strong. Every time a new variant crops up now, the hope is you've built up immunity anyway to the previous ones.Prof O'Neill said the variant is growing quickly.
"It's growing [to] a 20% increase per week in the UK, for instance," he said."In the US at the moment 17.3% of cases are Eris".Prof O'Neill said the new strain is not a variant of concern."[There is] no increase in disease, shall we say, it just seems to be more transmissible."If it spreads more and more, the risk of more variants is always there every time the virus divides.
"At the moment, no massive, increase in hospitalisations - [there is a] slight increase, upticks here and there.The United Nations has said the number of reported cases, hospitalisations and deaths reported globally has continued to decline since
