XEC could soon become the primary strain of covid worldwide
A new Covid variant is spreading around the globe and is tipped to overtake as the primary strain. As friends and families share stories of freshly caught coughs, colds, and Covid-like illnesses, a GP has shared exactly what is happening in her practice.

“But whether that’s Covid is really difficult to say because a lot of the symptoms blur together with other illnesses that are prevalent at this time of year. Whether it’s Covid versus flu is hard to separate. “People who have the flu tend to be extremely unwell. Sometimes, people say they’ve got the flu but have actually got a bad cold. Generally, if you’ve got true flu, you’re bed bound. With Covid, you might actually be quite well.
