Early signs suggest NB.1.8.1 may be more transmissible than earlier variants, likely due to mutations in the spike protein. But there’s no evidence it’s more severe.

    I had Covid last week (my 3rd bout) and it was milder than any cold. Hopefully it is like that for others.

    I only bothered RAT testing because I visit my elderly Mum daily.

    Had 6 shots but last one was about 18 months ago.

      When testing just remember, any positive at all, no matter how faint, means you are infectious.

        And false RAT negatives are common but false positive RAT’s are rare but it happened to me once - I followed up a positive RAT with negative PCR.
