“An interesting mutant” and the most widespread, this is how the World Health Organization described the new mutant of the Corona virus “Covid-19”, which it called “JN1”.
The organization announced a high rate of infection with the new mutant around the world, as it rose by 52% between the period from November 20 to December 17 of this year. The organization advised taking vaccines to avoid infection and alleviate symptoms, and called for a return to commitment. With preventive measures such as wearing masks and continuous sterilization.
With the announcement of the “JN1” mutant, controversy returned again to communication platforms regarding the Corona virus and its symptoms, and whether it is a danger to humans or not, and many questions were monitored by Al Jazeera Net in the public’s comments.
Tweeters began publishing their experiences with the new mutant and the symptoms that accompanied their infection period. They said that they felt a loss of sense of smell, headache, nasal congestion, fever, and fatigue, and that the recovery period was longer than previous infections.
Others called for the rapid spread of the JN1 variant to be taken seriously, and for a return to precautionary measures – especially wearing masks and social distancing – to limit infection.
No, by God, my brother, here in Britain we have had many infections this period. My family and I are all infected now, and it started a few weeks ago among us, young and old. What is strange is that there are people who have a positive Corona test, and in the same breath and in the other household, it is negative, but the same symptoms are fatigue, stress, and congestion with coughing, fever, chills, cold, and hotness.

On the other hand, some social media pioneers questioned the World Health Organization’s announcement, and said that it seeks to operate pharmaceutical companies. They added that people no longer deal with Corona as it began 4 years ago, and began to consider it a seasonal cold, as they put it.
