New COVID variant Arcturus is circulating in India and other countries.  Hallmarks of the variant seem to be an unusual amount of pediatric cases and also significant amount of patients with conjunctivitis.   It is said to be the most contagious variant yet.  So far not clear how severe the cases can be.  Cases are up significantly in India but it's too early to know if hospitalizations and deaths will be up as those are lagging indicators.

There are already cases present in the US.  Anyway, just a heads up for everyone.

XBB.1.16 may not be just another run-of-the-mill Omicron, according to a prominent pediatrician in India.
