[b]A new COVID variant known as NB.1.8.1 has made landfall in the United States.[/b] 
The variant, which was first detected in China this past January, currently accounts for 10% of the SARS-CoV-2 sequences tested from around the world, recent surveillance data found. 
That’s a significant jump from 2.5% four weeks ago.

The agency is in regular contact with international partners about the activity of NB.1.8.1. To date, only 20 NB.1.8.1 sequences have been identified in the U.S. — that’s below the threshold needed for a variant to appear on the agency’s COVID dashboard.
As soon as its prevalence increases, NB.1.8.1 will pop up on the tracker.

It’s nerve-wracking to hear that a new variant is making the rounds, but infectious disease specialists say there are [b]no glaring differences between[/b] the symptoms of NB.1.8.1 and those caused by other versions of SARS-CoV-2.

I get my yearly booster by spending a few days in bed with a fever and coughing

8, and you still do a booster every year?

Quote from: Sandra on Jun, 25, 2025, "Given that immunity to COVID is waning in the population due to a decline in uptake of the spring booster jab and the reduction of COVID infections in recent months, more people will be susceptible to infection with XFG.

"This could lead to a new wave of infection, but it's difficult to predict the extent of this wave."

I am NOT getting jabbed again

Well everyone should review the research, which like all science, is continually evolving and make their own decision. Me I had one of the first jabs available worldwide and regular jabs and boosters ever since, I think that I'm up to 8 combined jabs at this point, between annual vax and boosters for evolving strains. Not only no ill effects, I'm quite healthy and fit. As always, "your mileage may vary."
