NEW COVID VARIANT HITS ENGLAND: NB.1.8.1 NOW SPREADING
A new Omicron spin-off, NB.1.8.1, has landed in the UK: 13 cases so far and counting.
It’s already dominating in China and Hong Kong, and now makes up 10% of global infections.
Symptoms? The usual: fever, fatigue, sore throat.
Severity? UK health officials say don’t panic, yet.
Testing rates are down, data’s patchy, and the virus isn’t taking a holiday.
Another wave or just background noise? Time will tell.
