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.

And still no analysis of natural recovery vs vaccine with infection rates.
Then I suggest you start reading the thread of the poster who son is facing this drama and see how it goes for him if you think Covid is no big deal
You don’t have to believe Covid is killing people
It’s a stupid opinion but you are free to have it.
i asked you why anyone should trust what these people preach...
your response and refusal to answer the question is why some people refuse to believe this bullsh*t...
thank you for proving it...
I dont have an answer for you. If you want to believe COVID is a hoax then go right ahead.
btw, please dont show up on this thread and start this crap about how Covid is hoax

They've escaped responsibility for the original bio attack, so why not continue?
that has absolutely nothing to do with our conversation...
your deflection techniques will never work with me...
please stop playing stupid games...
I have no idea what you are going on about
Really
Believe what you want. It matters not to me.
Just dont show up on that thread claiming Covid is no big deal
It’s not as bad for most people as it’s made out to be and most people do slide through it, in fact to the point that everyone is freaking out about the asymptotic carriers and how we all have to act like that’s everyone.
SOME people do not deal with it well for reasons not always clearly understood but it is NOT Ebola or Black Death.
People second guess themselves all the time, and it’s pointless. You do what you do and make the best decision you can with the information and resources available and if it spirals out of control, then you deal with it.
Why do you feel the need to make false accusations?
Some of us suspect that the “variants” are actually bad reactions to the vaxes and are just being blamed on *variants*.
Freudian slips are always very revealing.
That is an interesting article
I had a young relative die within a few days after diagnosed with the flu. Turned to sepsis/pneumonia. Similar to what happens with Covid.
It is entirely plausible there was a genetic quirk that caused it to happen. The right parameters struck.
Can’t you just see Fauci sitting in a dark corner rubbing his hands in gleeful anticipation?
my post #60 is what you refuse to address..
the question at the end is what you refuse to answer...
I dont know what you are looking for...I dont care what you believe.
This is a serious illness. It is killing people. They dont know how to stop it yet.
It is a bioweapon....and we are going to have to continue to have to deal with it killing people
I love Red Dwarf.
Sadly a friend of my wife’s and I sort of knew died today after a long bout in the ICU of Covid. He had a couple of strikes against him health wise against him from what I understood.
He was a Lutheran pastor. I ran into him sometimes at a little sandwich shop near his church. He was a good guy.
