Part II - Continuation – What is EG.5, or the “Eris” variant ?

 

EG.5 is a descendant of Omicron, just like XBB.1.5 was. This means the SARS CoV-2 virus continues to evolve, and Eris is just the latest mutation to keep an eye on. And with COVID-19 testing rates and reporting no longer as closely tracked like they were during the height of the pandemic, it’s especially important to take steps to protect yourself from getting sick whenever a new variant of concern begins to swirl.

What are the symptoms of EG.5?

What is the metaverse? A short history.

The metaverse is a vision of what many in the computer industry believe is the next interaction of the internet: a single, shared, immersive, persistent, 3D virtual space where humans have experienced life in ways they could not in the physical world.

Some of the technologies that provide access to this virtual world, such as Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, are evolving quickly; other critical components of the metaverse, such as adequate bandwidth or interoperability standards, are probably years off or might never materialize.

The concept is not new: the term metaverse was coined in 1992 by author Neal Stephenson in his sci-fi novel Snow Crash, and work on the technologies that underpin a virtual reality-based internet date back decades. Organizations are also deploying VR for employee safety training, particularly in settings where employee mistakes can cause harm, Asim added. The industrial metaverse will link digital twins into a wider virtual environment that encompasses machines, factories, products and supply chains.

 Being a “night owl” is associated with a greater incidence of type 2 diabetes, according to a new study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts.

 The study found that people who go to bed late and get up late are 19% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than early birds after considering all sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.

 The research focuses on chronotypes – the time of day one gravitates toward. So-called “morning people” have a morning chronotype, while people who prefer the evening and night hours have an “evening” chronotype

 Evening chronotype people were 54% more likely to have unhealthy lifestyle habits, including smoking, inadequate sleep duration, higher weight and BMI, lack of physical activity, and poorer-quality diet.
