Do I need to be worried about the new Covid strain Pirola – and will my booster jab protect me?
No.
How do I know if I have the new variant?
Who cares? Go to bed, drink plenty of fluids and take paracetamol. It’s a bad cold or mild flu, get over it.

I am of the opinion that covid is nothing more than flu variant. I’ve had it, was dog-rough for 2 days with flu-like symptoms (because it is flu), bit shitty for 4 days after that then fine. Check the figures for flu deaths during the so called ‘pandemic’, very, very significantly lower than previous years. Why? Because flu, a corona virus, was being falsely diagnosed as covid. Along with motorcycle crashes. Seriously. Because the poor unfortunate who wrapped his bike around a lamp-post tested positive for covid sometime in the preceding 28 days.
Those with underlying illnesses and the morbidly obese/6terminally lazy can take all the precautions they like, just leave the rest of us alone.
It’s a corona virus and it’s doing exactly what it says on the tin – becoming more easily transmissible while becoming less virulent. There was never any justification for any panic.
“Most people can expect to have a runny nose, sore throat, headache and fatigue.”
Oh no, we’re all doomed.
Covid is only still a thing because the newspapers say it is. If they would just shut TF up about it, all these terrified idiots may well just end up getting on with their lives.
I have no objection to terrified idiots choosing to be terrified because of what they read in the papers, but they always demand the rest of us be terrified too, which is unacceptable
Therein lies the crux of the problem.
See also “Swine Flu” – the global pandemic we had at the beginning of the Obama reign in the US (Cameron reign in the UK, I think?). The WHO-declared global pandemic that poofed almost as quickly as it had begun, because the newspapers stopped talking about it and everyone stopped testing for it. My elderly aunt to this day thinks I am making it up out of whole cloth – after all, if it were a pandemic like covid, the newspapers would be full of it, right? They were, until, that is, they weren’t. Just like that. And everyone forgot.
Who remembers monkeypox..?
The same thing applies to the current obsession with wildfires. The media would have you believe that the whole world is going up in flames because of climate change. Not only have wildfires been in decline for centuries, they are also avoidable.
