Right after This Site publishes an article raising concerns about the effects of Long Covid, it seems incidents of the latest Covid-19 variant are on the rise in the UK…

London has the highest rate of Covid in England amid the rapid spread of the JN.1 variant, analysis revealed on Thursday.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimate that around 6.1% of Londoners had the virus as of December 14, by far the highest proportion of any region.

Prevalence in the capital is three times higher than a month ago, according to the UKHSA’s winter infection survey.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the WHO said they would continue to investigate the variant but that it carried no greater risk of death or hospitalisation.

JN.1 is a subvariant of Omicron, which became the dominant global variant of Covid in winter 2021. It has been found in countries across the world including China, the UK and the United States.

So, not likely to be fatal, then.

But what about those consequences of Long Covid?
