The variant, NB.1.8.1, has been identified as the cause of Covid-19 resurgence in China and several other Asian countries. Experts in Europe are predicting a possible increase in cases there.
A summer wave also could occur in the United States. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NB.1.8.1 already represents about one-third of new Covid-19 cases as of June 7. This is a significant increase from just a month before, when the new variant represented just 5% of new Covid-19 cases.

CNN: What are symptoms of N.B.1.8.1 infection?
Wen: The symptoms appear to be similar to infection with other variants. There is a large range of symptoms and severity. Some patients may have allergy-like symptoms, such as stuffy and runny nose. Others may have cold- or flulike symptoms, with fever, sore throat, fatigue, headache and muscle or body aches. Some people may develop cough and difficulty breathing. Some may have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
While most people will recover, some could become severely ill and require hospitalization. Some individuals who contract Covid-19 may also develop the post-viral condition known as long Covid.

CNN: Who should consider getting the vaccine now instead of waiting for the fall formulation?
Wen: This is a difficult question to answer because the landscape around Covid-19 vaccination has been changing. Just last month, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

These shots appear to still be accessible for children; for instance, the CDC’s guidance now reads that children can get the shots after consulting with their health care provider. However, there are already reports of pregnant women having more difficulty obtaining these vaccines.

As someone said before, the timing is off: it’s not the midterms yet.
Masks all around! Jabs for all! 💉🖕
I hope people aren’t stupid enough to fall for this plandemic...
Isn’t this the same variant said to cause the Very Scary “Razor Blade Throat” in some article posted here on FR a day or two ago?
GET THOSE stimulus checks in the mail... NOW.
We still haven’t punished China for the first go-around in 2019-20, so why not unleash some more misery on the planet? Hell, there are Freepers scared to death about punishing China at all with the tariffs.
Oh, noes!!! \o/
What I know about it is get plenty of fresh air and sunshine to beat it, just like all coronaviruses.
Time to bring Fauci back from Retirement.
Hell no I’m not doing anything
As the FReeper who posted the ‘razor blade throat’ COVID subvariant article - https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4323699/posts -
I can say with certainty that Nimbus and “Razor Blade” are supposed to be the same.
Oddly, in THIS article here, there is NO mention of ultra sore throats.
They really need to coordinate their Scare Tactics better.
Carried by Murder Wasps.
BLAH...BLAH...BLAH
Test run for something else later?
What about the scarf slut? LOL
I need masks! I need boosters! I need to lock myself in my house!
That’s right! 😂
Wear your masks outdoors, when you’re alone standing in 100º heat, too!
Therefore, instead of getting vaxxed, buy Praying Mantises.
And followed very quickly by Chainsaw Bears. THEIR PAWS ARE FREAKIN’ CHAINSAWS. 😱
And then come the SharkGulls! Everybody RUN!
