"Rising Covid Cases and Record-Low Immunity: Doctor Warns of Devious New Variant's Impact on Christmas"
Experts are warning that the Christmas Covid wave in the UK could be one of the worst since the introduction of vaccines, as a newly evolved variant of the virus circulates amid rapidly falling immunity levels. Positive cases are surging, with people reporting that the symptoms feel as bad or worse than previous bouts. Waning immunity and the evolving virus are believed to be contributing factors. Experts also highlight the increased risk of viral infections during winter due to people mixing indoors and the potential for co-infections with other bugs. It is important to note that Covid is currently less virulent and dangerous than in 2020, with milder infections and lower hospitalization and death rates.
