A GP has explained the symptoms of the newest strain of Covid saying they are different from those caused by earlier variants and are leaving people 'wiped out'. The XEC variant of Covid has rapidly become dominant having spread to hundreds of countries around the world.
Six were health care workers who encountered the first American known to be infected with bird flu without previous exposure to a sick animal, and the other was a close household contact of the patient. All developed mild respiratory symptoms after their exposure.

A new study reveals that 12-18 months after hospitalization for COVID-19, patients show significant cognitive decline comparable to 20 years of aging. MRI scans and blood tests also show brain injury markers and reduced brain volume in these patients. The findings suggest that COVID-19 has lasting effects on brain health, even in those without neurological complications.
