## Resource

Bay Area braces for a late-summer COVID surge fueled by Omicron variants—symptoms now lean toward brutal sore throats (“razor blade throat”) and flu-like illness, not the classic loss of taste/smell. While generally milder than past strains, expect fever, cough, fatigue, and body aches. If your home test is negative but you’re still feeling sick, retest in 48 hours. Updated vaccines targeting these new strains are expected this fall—stay tuned and stay safe. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
