Nebraska is the only state in the United States to have not detected a case of the Mu variant of COVID-19, which may render vaccines less effective.
Since being first identified in Colombia in January, the Mu variant has spread to 41 countries, including the United States. Most prevalent in Hawaii and Alaska, the variant accounts for less than one percent of cases in the U.S., but its potential to be more transmissible or resist vaccines and natural immunity have health officials keeping tabs on the mutation.
At least one case of the Mu variant has been detected in the District of Columbia and every state in the U.S. aside from Nebraska, according to Outbreak.info, a website that provides open source data on COVID-19 variants.
California has reported the highest number of Mu variant samples, at 384 cases, but that only accounts for 0.2 percent of the total samples sequenced in the state. As of Friday, Los Angeles County had identified 167 Mu variant cases, according to the Department of Public Health. The cases were found in samples sequenced between June 19 and August 21, with the bulk of the cases being found in July.
"The identification of variants like Mu, and the spreading of variants across the globe, highlights the need for L.A. County residents to continue to take measures to protect themselves and others," Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of LA County Public Health said in a statement. "This is what makes getting vaccinated and layering protections so important. These are actions that break the chain of transmission and limits COVID-19 proliferation that allows for the virus to mutate into something that could be more dangerous."
Maine, Connecticut and Florida round out the list of states with the highest prevalence of Mu cases.

Can we stop jabbing people now?
They are all the Fauci variant!
When it’s mu vs nu, that will be interesting.
Some may get the mu-nu double variant.
I am holding out for the omicron variant. But you don’t want to get the omega variant.
The “mu” variant is the common cold corona-virus.
It \did not\ mutate from SARS-COVID-19.
That is why it is found everywhere and defies vaccination.
Change my mind.
“ Maybe you will. Maybe you won’t.”
Written as if your chances of survival are 50/50 which is completely false.
Not 57?
No, it is written in a way that tells you that you have absolutely no idea what will happen
Case in Point
The Son of the Freeper who needs prayers right now is Christian..young..and healthy...and admitted into the hospital right now
I have all kinds of weird things wrong with me. Some of which Drs have no idea so far what to do with or how to diagnose.
I presume I will have a hard time with Covid thus I take all necessary precautions except for the Vaccine. Although I am going to get the pneumonia vax for cross reactivity
However, I have no clue what will happen if I get it. I could sail through...or I could end up on a ventilator.
There is no way you can predict unti you get it...no matter who you are.
I don’t care .I would like to curse but I will not because I’m old. They are still going with the fear porn. I guess it’s working because most folks around here outside of Atlanta are still masking. Very sad, very sad indeed.
Mu variant? What happens when they run out of Greek letters? We realize this flu like virus will simply be with us like the flu, colds, chicken pox, etc. AND WE GET ON WITH OUR LIVES! No more lockdowns. No more masks. No more fascist tyrant wet dreams of surrendered liberties.
More worried about when the ShamWoW variant appears. What are we going to do if Vince is not there to tell us how to rid ourselves of this hideous strain?
What if these “mutations” are not a natural biological progression but a deliberate attempt to assault the world with the countries with the largest population left standing?
Boy they sure are quick being able to track 3-5 different variants without having a sequence on the original!
Over a 98% chance of nothing happening. Odds are in my favor. There is no guarantee getting a shot would have turned out any different.
Monoclonal

Of course, but the least discussed issue is those that have had Covid, even the Israeli government gives a green pass to those that have had Covid- natural immunity. This vax issue is having one outcome, the ( forced) vaxes are NOT working, period! The classic definition of stupidity, when failing , keep on doing the exact same thing-the vax issue stinks.
No. You keep insisting that because each individual circumstance is different then it’s 50/50 and should be approached that way. the stats are overwhelmingly the against such a position. Another poster made the point about driving. Perhaps there are reasons to cower in fear but neither COVID nor driving to work are it. If you’re that scared then stay home. Don’t try to sell your fear to the rest of us.
Well, everybody that ran out and got the Delta shot now get to run out and get the Mu shot.
Whatever.
It is criminal, and it is murder. How many thousands have needlessly died because of advice from such “medical” experts. It is beyond a reasonable doubt and absolutely a foreseeable consequence that if you discourage a life-saving drug to be given, that people will die. The excuse that they thought Ivermectin is too dangerous, or could not possibly be effective, is an excuse that a child would make, and it will not hold up in a criminal trial. They have thousands of people’s blood on their hands, and the media is in a similar boat. How they can live with themselves is beyond me.
Mu variant? Really, another excuse to stay at home? PEOPLE NEED TO GET OFF THEIR REAR ENDS AND GO BACK TO WORK!!
biden, fauxi, and the cdc recommending vaccines for our citizens to stop the spread of a virus while biden opens the border, invites, welcomes, and freely spreads hundreds of thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic” reeks of hypocrisy, proves our government officials don’t care about our health, and anything these people preach can’t be trusted...
please explain to everyone here why anyone should trust anything these people preach about stopping the spread of anything at this point in time...
