He isn't concerned about this variant, which is a little different. However, it's currently not officially a variant of concern:

As of now, Eris is not currently listed as a variant of concern, with Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at the UK Health Security Agency stating: “We continue to see a rise in Covid-19 cases in this week’s report.

“We have also seen a small rise in hospital admission rates in most age groups, particularly among the elderly. Overall levels of admission still remain extremely low and we are not currently seeing a similar increase in ICU admissions. We will continue to monitor these rates closely.”

There is some concern that it'll take off when schools go back.

They buried the lede though:

Speaking to the MailOnline, Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University said that the rise in cases could be down to the recent horrific weather, and a rise in people going to the cinema after the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

So, it's all Barbenheimer's fault! It should have a health warning on it!

I hear early rumours that Saw Patrol can give you Ebola. Or something.
