Covid - is there a really awful varient at the moment?

[CovidGrumble]

Ive caught covid again and i feel like death.

Previous 2 covid infections were ok. First one was just a low level cold, 2nd one was sore throat and tiredness. But this time ive been properly knocked out.

So is there a really awful varient at the moment? Or is it that all my immunity from vaccinations and previous infections has vanished so I've been hit with a full whack?

Had it for first time in October. Was v sick and bad stomach and headache but mostly really tired. Hadn’t really got over it before catching horrid cold just before Christmas which has lingered.

Had covid the week before Christmas and it floored me, this was my second bout and thought it might be easier but it certainly wasn’t, I had a terrible cough this time too which I didn’t have first time but I only got my booster a week before so might not have fully taken. I had high temp cough throat was on fire generally felt terrible for about 5 days, then slowly felt better. I know someone that’s pretty unwell and it’s his third time.
