People have started catching a new Covid variant that could soon take off and become the dominant type, according to scientists.

Identified in Germany, in June, cases of the XEC variant have since emerged in the UK, US, Denmark and several other countries, say users on X, formerly known as Twitter.

It has some new mutations that might help it spread this autumn, although vaccines should still help prevent severe cases, experts say.

    I did the combo on Saturday afternoon. Woke up Sunday with the chills, a pounding headache, and heavy fatigue that lasted for about 6 hours.

    Happens every time I do the combo, but it’s worth it to knock ‘em both out and have the immunity.
