Omicron Variant Found in California

Omicron covidPress release from the California and San Francisco Departments of Public Health:

“As expected, and thanks to California’s large-scale testing and early detection systems, the State of California and the San Francisco Department of Public Health have confirmed a case of the Omicron variant in California. Our partners at the University of California, San Francisco identified this case through their sequencing capabilities. California is continuing to monitor the variant’s presence and progress through the state’s robust Whole Genome Sequencing surveillance.

We must remain vigilant against this variant, but it is not a cause for panic. To help detect and prevent the spread of this new variant, the State of California is increasing COVID-19 testing at our airports for arrivals from countries identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We recognize that everyone is exhausted, and the news of a new variant can be overwhelming. It is important that we collectively focus on the things we know prevent the spread of COVID-19, and its variants. Individuals should (1) get vaccinated and boosted; (2) wear your mask in indoor settings; (3) get tested if you have symptoms; and (4) stay home if you are sick.

As we continue to learn more about the Omicron variant and how it can impact all of us, we will share that information through covid19.ca.gov and cdph.ca.gov.”

“The individual, who was fully vaccinated and had mild symptoms”.

Should rename the variant Decepticon instead.

It comes as no surprise to me.

Did they detect it by using the CERNS Large Hadron Collider?

Like I said yesterday or before, “There is no doubt in my mind it’s already here”.

It just hadn’t been acknowledged yet.

So let’s see…

Let me get this straight…

“3) Get tested if you have symptoms”… Aaand…

“4) Stay home if you are sick”….

🤔🧐Got it.🤷‍♂️

Bring on Omicron! It has mild symptoms but builds immunity in advance of a future, more virulent, variant

The “Omnicron” is the most scary variation yet! It’s reported to be mild, spreads easily and could help bring about heard immunity much faster and this terrifies the democrats who love the amount of control this “pandemic” has shifted into their hands.

Remember you being this naive when you reflect in 3 years after your 15th booster and still wondering why the vax hasn’t beat this yet. You are also so ignorant you don’t know the fact that this “variant” almost specifically targets vaxd people, but I digress.

The only way you can get tested is if you just got back from South Africa?

Sounds familiar.

That should narrow down the source.

They are working from the same plausible deniability script as they were the last time.

I suppose the tests are too scarce again to test anyone except those returning from South Africa who are symptomatic…

I’m sure this wasn’t the first case of Omicron in California, or in the US.

Step 1: make sure the corporate pharmaceutical companies get their cut and let them experiment on you.

Step 2: make sure to comply at all times and be part of the psyop like a good goy should.

Step 3: confirm you are still in our system so we know when you finally die.

Step 4: act “normal.”

Forget Omicron we have bigger worries.
NASA has warned that a giant asteroid bigger than the Eiffel Tower will break into Earth’s orbit in just over a week.

The 1,082-foot space rock is heading our way and should skim past us on December 11..we are an awfully big target to miss

Yes, absolutely”skim past”, at ten times the distance from the Earth to the Moon…

Hopefully the Earth won’t act like a ginormous magnet and alter the asteroid’s path towards Earth.

Because then we would have to use “hyperspace”, and coming back from that can be unpredictability risky…

All the Covid in the world would not fill a 12 oz. soda can. If you could get that much together it would be colorless, it is smaller than the wavelengths of visible light.

Even though each individual virus is smaller than most wavelengths of visible light, an aggregation of viruses would be visible, and would probably be white-ish in color.

It will be all over the US before long. I know it is in Canada and the UK. I am begining to wonder if we will ever be free of the Covid virus variants that keep popping up. If you have not had your two vaccine shots and the booster – well good luck!!!

Yes, without those injections you only have 99.xx+% chance of survival!

Fill up your room with nintey nine friends, if you got them, now pick which one you’d like to see die. Guaranteed it would not be you. Now take let’s say 30 % of them and make them so sick that they are moaning and crawling on the floor for days. Guaranteed you would not be volunteering to feed or clean up after them. Then take about 10% of the ones who survive the attention you will give them while they are sick yet end up with heart, lung or nerve damage for months or maybe a life time. Guaranteed you will not be supporting them or their families while they recover.

The only simple thing in this whole thought experiment is the idea that it doesn’t matter who dies and that those who get sick have no long consequences.

You can’t control the lives, and choices of others. How many people have tried hard to help a friend who just keeps making bad choices. At some point, you have to be okay with letting people die, and get sick. Self destructive behavior has consequences, and even the good die young.

The 99.6% survival rate is population wide, not adjusted for age and other health factors. It’s astonishing to me that you haven’t grasped these basic facts about this virus that you spend so much time accusing others of being misinformed about.

For my age group the cdc estimates that the risk of death is something like 5 in 10,000. These 5 are likely to be suffering from various preexisting health conditions.

But don’t let those well established realities get in the way of peddling your fear porn.

If you controlled and managed your fertility, the Supreme Court would not have to.

Freedom means working harder at self restraint

Or just keep vaccinating the kids so they are no longer viable in the reproductive arena.

I am so over this crap. I have gotten all my shots and will get booster soon. But I’ll be damned if I will subject myself to any other vaccinations for Covid or any future variants. Two years of this bullshit is enough. Those who want vaccinations have already done it. The rest are on their own. Their choice. Time to move on.

Unfortunately they don’t just go away just because you’re done with them They occupy hospitals, forcing other not to able to get care when they need it. They tap into government services you pay for. They close down businesses you rely on when they get sick. And most important, they keep the disease around until chances are they will bring others down with them.

Vaccinations have increased due to recent mandates. Many went screaming and yelling to it but they went. It’s just too bad that the political anti government, anti vaxxer propaganda machines have exacerbated normal fears with lies, exaggeration and innuendo to such a fever pitch that too many people, who other wise would have cowboyed up and got vaccinated, refused until it was too late to see their folly.
