Apparently it's called XBB1.5


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64164306

XBB had a mutation that helped it beat the body's immune defences, but this same quality also reduced its ability to infect human cells.

Prof Wendy Barclay from Imperial College London said XBB.1.5 has a mutation known as F486P, which restores this ability to bind to cells while continuing to evade immunity. That makes it spread more easily.

just a snippet full article via link but I wonder if this is what is causing all the local cases ?

I’d bet it’ll spread like wildfire in certain situations. Cruise ships, for instance. :cry:

Pity there is no Covid strain that stops ex-royals spinning tales to sell the new book
