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.

The common cold is also a virus with no treatment and no vaccine

San Francisco?

You don’t say.

What could be going on in San Francisco that leads to a brand new highly contagious virus?

Did the new virus originate in one of the recently discovered chyna bio labs just in time for the midterms?

Due to how fast viruses replicate, here will always be new strains.
Nothing is going to stop it.
Our immune system goes whack the heck is this.
It adapts. The virus changes to different receptors and the process continues.
The media hype is garbage

Scientists study Wastewater SCAN data.

Wastewater = raw sewage = perfect breeding ground for all kinds of Sh!tty diseases.

WHY only since Covid do these scientists suddenly study sewage? Damn Funny how this kind of data wasn’t collected and broadcast 20 years ago.

By no means is it only since covid. Covid is when the rest of the world started paying attention to the guys that pull this data out of the wastewater. The data was collected before, but not broadcast because... well you’d have to take that up with the news organizations. But it ain’t new. It’s a 100 year old science.

Two types of people need to worry... Homeless people and homosexuals. Everybody else can relax.

It can also be a COVID variation. That was known long before the fake stampede a few years ago.

I don’t think this is like monkeypox where gays are at higher risk. Where did you get that?
