HV naman ngayon.
A new COVID variant, HV.1, is now dominant. These are its most common symptoms
As the United States enters respiratory virus season and health officials roll out updated COVID-19 vaccines, a new COVID variant HV.1 has emerged and is currently sweeping the country.
The new omicron subvariant has rapidly overtaken other strains, including EG.5 aka Eris, to become the dominant variant in the U.S. As of late October, HV.1 is responsible for more than a quarter of all COVID-19 cases, and health officials are monitoring the new variant amid concerns of a winter COVID-19 surge.
HV.1 accounted for an estimated 25.2% of new COVID-19 cases during the two-week period ending Oct. 28, according to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
After HV.1, the next most common variant in the U.S. was EG.5, which made up 22% of cases, followed by FL.1.5.1 or “Fornax,” and XBB.1.16 or “Arcturus.” (Globally, EG.5 is still the dominant strain, according to the World Health Organization.)
All of the most prevalent COVID-19 strains in the U.S. are offshoots of omicron, which first emerged in November 2021.
HV.1 is part of the omicron family. “You can almost think of HV.1 as a grandchild of omicron,” says Schaffner. HV.1 is a sublineage of omicron XBB.1.9.2 and a direct descendent of EG.5, according to the CDC's SARS-CoV-2 lineage tree.
The symptoms caused by infection with HV.1 are similar to those caused by recent variants, says Schaffner, which include:
Sore throat
Congestion or stuffiness
Runny nose
Cough
Fatigue
Headache
Muscle aches
Fever or chills
“Congestion, sore throat and dry cough seem to be the three most prominent symptoms right now,” says Schaffner.
Increasingly, doctors report that COVID-19 symptoms appear to follow a pattern of being concentrated in the upper respiratory tract, starting with a sore throat and followed by congestion or a runny nose, NBC news reported.
All COVID-19 tests — including PCR tests performed by a health care provider and rapid at-home antigen tests — will detect HV.1, says Schaffner.
if these variants have much the same signs and symptoms, and outcomes as their forefathers' ,
let's not immortalize them in the media anymore.
sayang lang ang concern.
my opinion only.
these symptoms are so non-specific.
many of them can be seen in the ordinary flue.
's probably why flu vaccination is encouraged nowadays.

Hmmm, magbibigay kaya ng datos ang bansang CHINA WUHAN VIRUS dito ... Pneumonia clusters, respiratory illnesses in children: WHO asks China for more information on spike in cases | CNN

The World Health Organization is investigating mysterious cases of pneumonia among Chinese children. Here'''s what you need to know | Fortune Well
Experts Fortune spoke to late Wednesday said they found the cases concerning and called on China to be forthcoming with its data.
But the limited information provided so far doesn’t point to the development of a new pathogen, they said.
The first suspicion of Dr. Michael Osterholm—director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP)—is “a series of already recognized respiratory pathogens,” due to the fact that illness are reportedly occurring in children.
“If it was a new pathogen, it would be showing up in kids and adults equally, ” he told Fortune.
Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease specialist and senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, agreed, telling Fortune that while information is sparse, “it would not be surprising if it’s a constellation of various respiratory pathogens together causing clusters of illness.”
Some reporting has pointed to mycoplasma pneumoniae, an atypical bacteria that can cause lung infection, as a potential cause, he said. It’s commonly known as “walking pneumonia.”
