Great news! Less deadly omicron squeezing out delta.
There must be bodies lying around everywhere.
Great comments at Breitbart…
1. California’s worst viruses and scourges: Gavin Newsome... Adam Schiff...Nancy Pelosi...Maxine Waters...Barbara Boxer…Diane Feinstein
2. Illegals not included just the free tacos for them.
I passed a COVID testing center couple of hours ago and it had 100-150 cars lined up , they better hope the test works
Families requiring a negative test, whether vaccinated or not, to enter someone else's home?
A 2-jab relative brought it in a school trip group ... from Chicago to Dallas. Herd immunity here we come.
Covid is going to have more flavors than Ben and Jerry’s if the Feral “judges” keep allowing foreign invaders to bring it into America.
Christmas Omicron Surge is a great band with more hits to come.

I have friends that flew in from the east coast. Haven’t seen them in almost a year. We were supposed to all get together but at the last minute they changed their minds, they don’t want to see anyone, and almost nobody wanted to go. I suggested rapid tests but nobody wanted to buy them or said they can’t find them.
Well at least I still have the in-laws ;-)
This sounds like a “crappy job”!
WHEN IT COMES TO TRACKING COVID-19, SMCSD IS FLUSH WITH DATA
As part of the ongoing efforts to detect and stop the spread of COVID-19, the District is participating in a UC Berkeley study to test for the novel coronavirus in wastewater. In addition to airborne droplets, coronavirus can be shed through the digestive tract and into our sewers. Researchers hope that by monitoring for dead COVID-19 cells in wastewater they can help identify outbreaks in their very early stages, possibly even before they show up in regional case counts.
Wastewater Does Not Spread COVID-19. Although viral particles can be detected in wastewater, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have assured the public that “there is no information to date that anyone has become sick with COVID-19 because of direct exposure to treated or untreated wastewater.”
Early Warning System. Because the testing samples pooled wastewater from the entire service area, it cannot identify individual homes or businesses that might be the source of detected virus particles.
So, while it cannot identify individual infections, like a nasal swab, centralized wastewater testing could provide a safe and unintrusive early warning system to help county officials understand where COVID-19 might be spreading in the community, and how fast: the more virus detected in the wastewater, the more likely a widespread outbreak could be underway.
Early detection can help public health officials make decisions about how to allocate resources, like testing centers, where they are most needed.
Low Cost, Fast Testing. The random samples are collected at regular intervals and shipped to a central testing location at the Berkeley Water Center. There, the COVID-WEB team uses a technique that rapidly stabilizes and concentrates any viral RNA present in a sample so it can be measured in the lab.
The technique uses table salt, ethanol, and other low-cost, easily obtained materials, making it less expensive and more sustainable than techniques that rely on complex or expensive reagents. The test is also very sensitive and very fast; turnaround is down to about three days per sample.
SMCSD Is One Of Six Agencies in Marin County Participating in the Study. Agencies in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco Counties are also participating. The Berkeley team is rapidly expanding capacity in order to give public health officials another weapon in the battle against COVID-19 in the Bay Area. Wastewater testing may also give scientists a tool for tracking virus strains as they mutate.
Amazing. Now we waiting in line to get tested for the “cold”.
We'll need lockdowns, and just in the knick of time for the 2022 elections: mail in ballots for everyone.
Bet those mail in ballots are already being pre-marked for Democrats by the millions right now. Democrats win 2022 in a landslide.
