Dani Blum has been reporting on Covid since the spring of 2020.
There are few constants when it comes to Covid, but one thing has remained true over the years: cases pile up in winter.
Especially in the weeks after the holidays, more people tend to be in poor health because we spend time together indoors, sharing germs and spreading infections.
“It seems the wave is coming,” said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco.
Wastewater data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently shows the highest levels of the virus circulating across the country. Deaths and hospitalizations from the virus have increased in recent weeks. And a new variant, XEC, now accounts for almost part of the country’s Covid cases. This is what you want to know.
Covid symptoms have largely stayed the same over the last few years: cough, congestion, fever, a sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, head and body aches. People with Covid are often exhausted. Some lose their sense of taste or smell.
Covid would possibly glance other every one time you are infected; the symptoms do not progress in the same way. While you had a sore throat last time, you would possibly have more gastrointestinal symptoms this time.
