XBB.1.5

 A new and "highly transmissible" Covid variant is loose in the USA and the rest of the world, and the data is sketchy as to how severe it is. The real risk seems to be long term damage to those infected, affecting blood pressure and cognition and perhaps other organs. Of course, this variant is doing a much better job of evading the immune system. It is still better to be fully vaccinated than not, and to have had ALL of the available boosters, but infection is still possible, it seems. I've ordered test kits that should be delivered today and I'll use one right away. No telling what variant I was exposed to. Still feeling fine with no symptoms. Covid is doing what ALL viral diseases do: mutate. 










That's life. That's life in the PU. Enjoy.
