The variant is called EG.5 and is a descendant of Omicron.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that EG.5 accounted for roughly 17.3 per cent β€” or one in six β€” of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

No that's valid and I'm with you 100%. I raised these concerns to the people actually putting up the show and they apparently aren't in a position to be able to cancel or postpone.

I'm taking all the precautions I can to avoid spreading it. Double mask the entire time and isolating myself when not on stage. But I agree with your point. Best would be to not do it at all. But I can't very well just refuse to do it, a lot of people worked really hard and spent money to put this up, and if they want to go ahead with it after I've tested and informed everyone, then so be it.

fair enough. for what its worth, I just took 2 antigen tests and they were both negitive. Its good you were upfront about it. I have to go in for a minor medical procedure on the 14th and I'm calling the office to make sure they're ok I come in. If they say yes, I will go, so like you, I'm leaving it up to them. break a leg :)

All we can do is be open and honest I suppose. Unfortunately the world moved on despite covid not, so it's become harder to walk the line of what you should/and what you need to do. Thanks so much! Good luck with your procedure!
