File this one away so that when XBB1.5 (‘The Kraken’) eventually filters through the multiple layers of meaningless rubbish on the daily news, it won’t be unexpected. A variant now smashing the US and elsewhere, and is already here in Oz. Potentially very nasty, evading any immunity (vaccine or ‘natural’), and also making you very sick. Like a love child of Delta and Omicron, but taking the worst of both and combining them in one variant, x10.
