People with the highly contagious UK strain of COVID-19 are less likely to report sky-high fevers than those with the original illness, according to a study released Wednesday.

But patients with the newer virus variant report suffering from a sore throat, aching muscles and fatigue more often, according to the survey, released by Britain’s Office for National Statistics.

Symptoms of the new strain differ from the three main ones associated with the original COVID-19 virus — fever, continuous cough and loss of smell or taste, the UK Sun reported, citing the survey and health officials.

I had the flu in July. The major difference was my lungs were clear and I could breathe.

There are people who have Covid and pneumonia, that’s why I was wondering if perhaps some of these people have Covid and the flu

” sore throat, aching muscles and fatigue “

That’s the FLU!!

I feel like the guy (CHeston) in the Soylent Green movie: “It’s people, it’s made of people!!”

This is all so self-evident. But, the MSM (following their lead from another socialist — Goebbles) keeps telling the lie again and again — and the proles just eat it up.

So, is loss of smell not one of the symptoms of the new strain?

Just going to the UK— for most people, produces ALL of those
“new” symptoms.

They are within the Arctic Circle FCOL!! Way North of the Equator- parallel with Iceland. See a global real map.

Shorter aviation route to London from NY goes over Iceland. Seriously.

What in the world are you smoking? You’ve obviously never been to London, nor the Arctic Circle. London’s latitude is about 51N, while the Arctic Circle starts much higher, about 66N.

Arctic Circle:

There are parts of Finland, Sweden, and Norway in the Arctic Circle, but even the Shetland Islands don’t appear terribly close to it.

Iceland isn’t in the Arctic Circle, but it borders it on its northern side.

It is not covid-12, the November/December 2019 version; it is simply just the Decenber covid-20 version, most probably needing a new vaccine, just as it has been for the bird flu for many years.

So, what's new to enrich the vaccine makers?

I’ll keep taking Vitamin D3..seems to be very effective. I’ve been taking it for almost one year now and thank God, I haven’t been sick since.

The vaccines already out work for all known variants of COVID-19. So far, the South African variant is the only one shown to have any impact on immunity and that impact is not significant enough to create any issues with either the vaccines or those who have immunity from previous infection.

Flu-like symptoms. Not the actual Influenza virus.

Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are as similar as human beings and snails.
