Local news so far is saying it isn't any worse as far as symptoms go but is much easier transmitted. I suspect they will soon say it is airborne but don't want to panic the public yet.

And now there appears to be yet another that is vaccine resistant.

Just to let other know what Covid is like, I've had a setback. All last week I was doing good. I was able to put in full days and get a lot done. Saturday I picked up some round bales, and finished off a project in my shop, then relaxed with a six pack of good beer and watched a movie. While watching the movie, I felt tired. More tired then normal, but I'm not sure what normal is anymore. When the movie ended, I went to bed and woke up the next day feeling sick again. Achy joints, no energy, fuzzy head and unable to concentrate. That stayed with me all day Sunday and it was an effort just to go from the living room to the bathroom. I went out to get some firewood and that just about did my in. Today I'm a lot better, but still week and still a little fuzzy headed. My wife is calling it "Long Hauler" Long haulers suffer long-term coronavirus symptoms | UC Davis Health

That made me cringe just reading it. Hope you continue to improve.

I sort of wonder if the six-pack of beer had anything to do with it. I know that if I have any sort of medical issue, my normal beer routine will do a number on me. Seems to enhance dehydration effects too.

Yes, there are multiple variants around the world that are worse than before.

Re: How痴 Eddie?

Yes, my wife is a RN and she has every little gadget possible. I'm from 97 down to 94 with 96 or 97 being the most common. If I get closer to 90, I'm to be admitted, so it's something that she checks all the time. I just put my hand out when I see her holding it. I don't really have any breathing issues other then when I do something, it feels like I'm breathing heavy, but I'm not huffing and puffing, I'm just low on oxygen and needing more air. It passes quickly, but it happens all the time.

I had it back in late October. It was a good 3 weeks before I started taking things slow and it was another several weeks before I noticed I was making improvements in energy and lung capacity. I was not hospitalized but I was under the care of my PCP. Took antibiotics to prevent secondary infections and the sinus infection I had lasted FOREVER. I had a cough show up at week 3 and lasted for a couple weeks followed by another couple weeks of forceful coughing to get phlegm up. So forceful I think I bulged a disc in my mid back.

To this day I still don稚 feel 途ight and I have been getting checked out such as blood work, CT scan of lungs and I see a cardiologist next week. COVID can cause organ damage that doesn稚 show until later along with blood clots which can lead to strokes. If something doesn稚 feel right, get checked out.

What is your information source?
News media?

Reporting on more contagious variants but have not read of being worse or vaccine resistant...
