Nimbus, a new COVID variant, officially NB1.8.1, is displacing the LP8.1 variant that was dominant until a few weeks ago in the USA (https://pr.report/bn4n).

Nimbus has been rising globally since Spring according to WHO (https://pr.report/bn4o).

Nimbus causes "razor-sharp" sore throat in some individuals, which is extremely painful and lingering for some time, in addition to the usual COVID symptoms.

Nimbus is more resistant to antibodies generated from previous vaccines, although prior vaccination or natural COVID infection is expected to still be protective in terms reduced severity compared to without such immunity according to CDC.

**I might have been exposed to it...person with nasty sore throat for some time now, can barely talk...has been coughing on people in an enclosed space... sure hope I don't get it
