The latest COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is here, and it's not just a party crasher—it's the life of the party This Omicron descendant is spreading like wildfire after the invites were sent out via a viral TikTok challenge. Symptoms include an irresistible urge to dance the Macarena, an obsession with 90s pop culture, and a sudden craving for avocado toast.

Doctors are warning that this variant is ridiculously contagious, with reports of people contracting it just by thinking about attending a music festival. The symptoms are broadly similar to earlier strains, but with a twist: victims now insist on wearing face masks to protect their anonymity at underground rave parties.

In a bizarre twist, the WHO has designated it a "Variant Under Monitoring," which roughly translates to "We're watching you, but go ahead and have fun." Meanwhile, the CDC is advising people to stock up on glow sticks and neon-colored masks to blend in with the infected crowd. Stay safe, and remember, this too shall pass... or become the next big thing.
