Colombian COVID variant already spreading in South Florida

The Colombian variant may sound like the next concern in the COVID-19 crisis, but in South Florida, it’s already here.

Carlos Migoya, CEO of Jackson Health, revealed that now 10% of COVID-positive patients whose results are being sequenced at the University of Miami’s pathology lab have a strain that originated out of Colombia.

“And here’s a real shocking thing that’s spreading in Colombia quite a bit,” Migoya told Local 10 News. “And they haven’t seen it anywhere else outside of Colombia. Well, guess what? In the last week, 10% of our patients had the Colombian variant. Why? Because of the travel between Colombia and Miami.”

That sequencing lab reports the following percentages of variant cases among COVID positives:

Delta 49%

Brazilian 26%

Colombian 10%

What’s colloquially being called the Colombian variant is officially the B.1.621 variant. It has not yet been given a Greek name by the World Health Organization (like the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma).

Has nothing to do with the illegals from columbia that biden has brought in and distributed around the country. Why would anyone possibly thing that?

We knew Biden and the Democrats would target Florida with illegals carrying the virus.

Hahaha

Product life cycle extension.

Look, it’s the new Tide with oxygen bubble scrub!

Tacky, embarrassing, but the masses appear to still be getting moved by this story. You’ll know when it’s over when they switch back to “the climate crisis.”

Remember the now-scrubbed websites that listed ALL the things that cause or are caused by glowbull warming? With, thousands of things, including such gems as "causes wetter weather; causes dryer weather" and others like "too many bears; too few bears".

Well, we could repeat that with COVID. All the things that COVID causes or is caused by. This morning, a FR post (now pulled, but still seen by many) of how COVID causes the male member to be too [long? short? I'm not sure... but both must be applicable]

Oh no. Of course not. It just has to be the “Trump Vaccine” (as Kamala Harris once called it as she warned Americans against taking anything Trump had to do with. It just has to be the vaccine or those who chose to to get the vaccine as should be their right.

I for one will not parrot the words of then Vice President Candidate Kamala Harris.

The democrats are still hoping the vaccine that the Trump admin will fail to work so that they can get us all back in masks again. I refuse to help them succeed.

No problem. It’s just another contributor towards COVID-19 herd immunity. The more variants and the more vaccinations, the better.

I'm holding out for either the Paraguayan, Bukinovian or Childir Eyaletian strain, just to be original.
