The latest version of Covid, known as Pirola or BA.2.86, is causing concern due to its high mutation rate, according to scientists.

other symptoms may include runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing, and sore throat.
HuffPost also covered the recent symptoms of the disease, according to Dr. Sarah Hochman, a hospital epidemiologist at New York University Langone Health and head of the department of infectious diseases at Tisch Hospital in New York, most of the symptoms of COVID mimic the symptoms of a cold.
I don't know if the virus itself has changed and causes more cold-like symptoms than it used to, or if it's just that we all have some degree of immunity now, either from vaccinations or previous COVID infections.
