HV.1 COVID sub-variant (as pr CDC data below) may be more transmissible but no alarm bells; no data, no evidence HV.1 causes more severe disease or more hospitilization etc.; common sense, precautions

with high-risk elderly is the key but no lockdowns, school closures, businesss closures, mask mandates, NOTHING, just protect the elderly as per usual common colds; vaccine is causing these variants

CDC COVID Data Tracker: Variant Proportions

A new COVID-19 variant called HV.1 has become the dominant strain in the United States and now accounts for nearly one-third of cases nationwide.
The highly infectious omicron subvariant has been circulating in the U.S. since the summer. In October, HV.1 rapidly gained speed and overtook other variants, including EG.5, aka Eris, to become the most prevalent strain, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
During a two-week period ending on Nov. 11, HV.1 accounted for 29% of new COVID-19 infections in the U.S., per the CDC. After HV.1, the next most common variant was EG.5, which made up about 22% of cases, followed by FL.1.5.1 or “Fornax,” and XBB.1.16 or “Arcturus.” Unlike its predecessors, HV.1 has yet to gain a catchy nickname.
All of the COVID-19 variants that have become dominant in the U.S. over the last year are descendants of omicron, which began circulating in November 2021.’
