ABC News ; What to know about COVID variant NB.1.8.1 causing 'razor blade throat'
An Acquaintance on Pillowfort evidently contracted this. They do not live in one of the states where the spread has been reported, which means the CDC etc is being unreliable for info about it or at tracking it under the new administration.
They said :
I am counting the first day I noticed any throat irritation as day 1 of symptoms. I started Paxlovid on day 4. I am currently on day 16 and dealing with profound fatigue and muscle weakness, though my cognition is okay. I tested positive for covid on day 13. I am up to date on my vaccinations and practice hand hygiene. I got this because I did not wear a mask indoors in crowded areas (was unable to due to work). The sore throat started mild, got progressively worse, reaching its zenith on days 3.5-5 or 6. I also experienced ear popping (days 3-13), congestion (worse on days 3-6, but still present on day 16).
This is a Sneaky Variant and Can Last Weeks Even With Treatment
