Southern California has recorded the state's first case of the mutant 'super-COVID-19' strain, Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.

I do think some are intentionally spreading it. Why wouldn’t they. They are Commies who want to do kill us off.
In my search for legal ways to get Ivermectin I came across the myfreedoctor site
The Dr swallowing all those pills on facebook (ivermectin, etc) now has COVID and is quite sick...I don’t even know what to think about that..other than he might have a genetic quirk
Hey, Karen, it is called the COVID-19 season the flu is chump change.
Note death count that many don’t die because of the flu.
Your wrong again don’t don the mask you feel lucky or do keep your magic shield on when in public?.
You mean, LIVING their lives, like FREE people
What was that death count again or don’t you do the counting thingy.
And sharing a joint or sucking face can’t be any harm right.
Virus as they mutate tend to have more transmissible but less dangerous selection of subtype. It’s not only normal it is axiomatic. This is actually a good thing and in the absence of vaccines how pandemics end. Accelerated number of cases less deadly. Herd immunity more rapidly
When are people going to wake up and realize that COVID is Spread through the TELEVISION!!
TURN IT OFF!
LOCK IT ALL DOWN!!!!

Sounds like someone is a little jealous that other people are getting kissed.
The world’s only hope lies in complete surrender to China and the UN.
What’s with the Marty Allen do?
And sharing a joint or sucking face can’t be any harm right.
Make sure FTD knows what your plot number is so they know where to put the flowers.
“the new variant is more readily transmitted”
Can you point me to scientific documentation that identifies this?
I have heard the same...this is the claim. I just don’t trust anything at this point. We still don’t have a clear understanding of how COVID-19 spreads the most. So it seems a little dubious that anyone has already done the science on this and can conclude such an assertion.
I just read that asymptomatic people have an incredibly low rate of transmitting to others. We’ve all worn masks for months, nothing got better - only worse. Where did the flu go? Do COVID tests result positively if you have the flu? Is this all just one huge deliberate scam?
There isn’t a government on the planet that I trust. All I know is that we’re being told that our rights are suspended until the government decides to ‘give them back’. We’re being programmed to accept it, otherwise you’re ‘selfish’. The ‘rights’ of the collective outweigh the rights of the individual.
...it’s all just very wrong - then you hear new claims like this, when I don’t believe they can possibly know.
Here’s a fairly in-depth analysis of the mutations seen in the new variant: https://virological.org/t/preliminary-genomic-characterisation-of-an-emergent-sars-cov-2-lineage-in-the-uk-defined-by-a-novel-set-of-spike-mutations/563
I think that if the leftists told you that having testicles made men more susceptible to COVID that you would have yourself neutered.
The COVID police issue stupid decrees do not even require that the masks worn be medical grade which means that they are just useless virtue-signaling "magic shields" in your own words.
You are a virtue-signaling sheep with a doom porn fetish.
I’ve been taking my supplements which includes D3, C, Zinc, etc. etc. etc. I also take a swig of Chestal (homeopathic and inexpensive) and silver biotics.
Especially needful now since it appears the sheep are beginning to get an idea what's behind that blood-stained curtain...
Flu season peaks at different times each year, sometimes as early as October, sometimes as late as March:
What we've seen so far is low activity, but within the range of "normal". If we continue seeing activity this low through February, the discussion about why certainly becomes relevant.
"Do COVID tests result positively if you have the flu?"
Short answer: no. Long answer is that the Influenza virus is as closely related to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) as humans are to snails. We're both in the animal kingdom, but that's where the similarities end. For the COVID-19 "gold standard" test (RT-PCR, sometimes just called PCR), the test triggers off of specific gene sequences only observed in SARS-CoV-2. In other words, the test will not show positive for any other virus in the world, including other coronaviruses. The sequences being looked for are exactly what distinguish SARS-CoV-2 from anything else.
"Is this all just one huge deliberate scam?"
The disease is real. The scam is how it's being used by Democrats as a tool of fear and a weapon against President Trump. Meanwhile, you have people like governors Cuomo and Newsom who have put policies in place requiring nursing homes to accept known-infected patients. This was still in place after we knew this was highly infectious and very dangerous to older folks.
"There isn’t a government on the planet that I trust."
Completely agree, though I have a little more confidence in the folks working under President Trump. But absolute trust? Not a chance. And don't get me started on the incompetent state and local governments. They're a disgrace.
"you hear new claims like this, when I don’t believe they can possibly know."
The doctors and researchers on the ground are doing good work and are working to save lives. Don't believe a word you hear from any politician or any media source. ANY media source. Go to the published scientific research for answers. For the people doing the work on the ground, finding right answers is money. Publishing wrong answers is very costly. Publishing outright lies is career suicide. For the media and politicians, publishing outright lies is a way of life.
It makes no difference to you if I wear a mask or get vaccinated or not .... you have the ultimate protections ... “the Mask” and “the vaccine”. If I or others choose not to wear a mask or get vaccinated it is no skin off your teeth. You can walk around in a sea of COVID without fear of infection ... so quit your whining and lecturing.
