Highly Contagious Virus With no Treatment Is Taking the West Coast by Storm [No Vaccine]
New York Post ^ | March 7, 2026 | May 7, 2026

Wastewater SCAN data show that human metapneumovirus, or HMPV, is rampant in Northern California — specifically San Francisco, Marin, Vallejo, Napa, Novato, Santa Rosa, Sacramento and Davis, per reports.

The virus peaked sharply in January and remains elevated in early March, although the seasonal winter wave is now tapering.

“It is a single-stranded RNA virus, like flu and COVID,” Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, told Fox News Digital. “The virus is increasing not only in the west, but also around the country.” The wastewater data also show that HMPV is rising sharply in the Midwest and Northeast.

I noticed chemtrails in the sky...

How do you tell chemtrails from normal contrails from a dozen or more miles away?

Human Metapneumovirus is not new. It’s part of the cavalcade of ssRNA respirator viruses that continue to evolve as it interacts with human populations and their immune responses to it.

All part of cold and flu season. Not new at all.

I understand, but the gay community is often the starting point of any and all new virus that prove contagious.

A contrail streaks across the sky and you might see two at most. A chemtrail looks like the same white trail, but there are many more, and they seem to hang in the sky longer. They are usually in the same general direction, but sometimes they’ll criss cross.

More than three, and I start wondering.

The only example that stands for your point is HIV, most epidemic and endemic infections that primarily involve homosexuals are from amplification of existing, sometimes even ancient, pathogens.

This article was written to pump up concern about a common, long-understood respiratory virus, presumably to whip people wavering on "following the science" back into line.

HIV/AIDS (1981): Because San Francisco had a highly organized gay community, doctors were able to spot the pattern of falling T-cell counts and rare infections much faster than in places where the population was more isolated.

Mpox (2022): San Francisco was one of the first cities to declare a public health emergency. The community’s proactive response and demand for vaccines actually helped create the blueprint for controlling the virus nationwide.

Shigellosis & Meningitis: Periodically, outbreaks of antibiotic-resistant bacteria or specific strains of meningitis appear in the city. Because the SF Department of Public Health (SFDPH) monitors these groups so closely, San Francisco often issues the first “warning” to the rest of the world.

There are others, but is what was allowed to be searched.

Monkeypox, shigellosis, and meningitis are all ancient diseases.

Maybe, but it all starts in the homosexual community, because of their unrestrained sexuality.

It’s why monkeypox didn’t fly, because it was too apparent who the primary infected people were.
