Yes, same thing I linked. Detected 10 Dec. Not yet a variant of concern so wait and see. Not sure why this is getting pumped again now.

B.1.640.2 strain, not forum randomness. And of some concern to the experts

What experts? That article cites none, only mentions the original 12 cases reported a month ago and "there is little evidence it could out-compete Omicron".

This sudden surge of rereporting is very odd. Maybe the lack of new restrictions in most countries has left news sites with space to fill.
Depends on what you class as "new restrictions".
Some that were already in place were simply tightened prior to christmas, in Ireland.

That doesn't really explain why I'm sore and fatigued from tit to todger + the coughing and breathlessness.

Are you coughing up luminous coloured gunk and running a fever? If so, get in touch with quack.
Otherwise mtfu :whistle:
Not the best advice... Signed, someone who was not coughing up gunk or running a fever, and DID mtfu, almost to the point of death! :laugh:

@T.M.H.N.E.T - those are exactly the symptoms that I put up with for a few weeks before ending up in hospital with my DVT/PE...

Are your legs ok? NHS advice HERE.

Well I was guessing he had urti / man flu symptoms (ie snot) before the cough

How about elsewhere? DVTs are usually in the legs but you can get them in arms, abdomen etc.

When I eventually went to my GP, he just said I had a 'chest infection' and prescribed me some anti-inflammatories to reduce the discomfort from the coughing (which worked, but just masked what was going on). It took another couple of weeks for the truth to reveal itself. If your doc doesn't come up with something convincing then I wouldn't just wait and see...

I'd a fairly good look around myself in the bath earlier and nothing seemed out of place :laugh:
