3/10 Meet "Nimbus"—the storm cloud variant.

A University of Guelph professor coined this memorable name for the password-like NB.1.8.1.

Like the divine clouds surrounding Zeus or Taylor Swift, this variant carries an otherworldly presence across the globe.

Oh hell!

There’s a summer COVID surge called the “nimbus variant.” I don’t know who comes up with these names, but if you’re sick, please stay home.

Razor‑blade throat: standout symptom—feeling like razor blades or broken glass. It’s often extremely painful when swallowing.
