No cases of the new Omicron virus variant have been identified in the United States as of yet, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variant was first seen in southern Africa earlier this month and has been designated a variant of concern by the World Health Organization, which says it may be more transmissible than the Delta and Alpha strains.
“No cases of this variant have been identified in the U.S. to date,” the CDC said in a statement Friday.
“CDC is continuously monitoring variants and the U.S. variant surveillance system has reliably detected new variants in this country. We expect Omicron to be identified quickly, if it emerges in the U.S.,” the agency added.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top U.S. public health official, said on the “Today” show Saturday that he “would not be surprised” if the Omicron variant was already in the United States.
“When you have a virus like this, it almost invariably is ultimately going to go essentially all over,” he said.
Fauci also said the genetic mutations indicate the strain will likely be more transmissible and may evade protection bestowed by vaccines.
The strain has been detected in a number of other countries. Officials in the Netherlands said they identified 61 cases among people whose travel originated in South Africa.
In other nations, officials said they had not confirmed the presence of Omicron but suspected it had already arrived.
Kai Klose, a top official in Germany, said on social media that it was “very likely” the variant was already in the country.
Several mutations “typical of Omicron” were detected in a person who was returning from South Africa, with complete sequencing not yet finished, he added.

Whether the Omicron variant is in the US, or even if this variant exist, is not the point. It is simply a pretext for continued authoritarian rule in multiple States and countries.

Here's what the lockdown authority in the USA just said:

Do you have a solution to this problem? I mean something well thought out and workable? I’m open to listening to it.

Even if such a grand conspiratorial plan were underway, what sense would it make, having it deploy in the US, creating more lockdowns and shut downs and masking, and pissing off people even more, so that they would revolt and vote against the people in power, in other words how does spread of omicron variant strengthen the Democrats at the ballot box next year? Did all the SARS-CoV-2 protein spikes (peplomers) get together on Facebook Messenger secretly and conspire and say “ let’s stick it to the Americans! OK, I will volunteer to mutate!” ?

I'm not only referring to the United States. Having variants, real or fake, will be used as reasons for continued lockdowns and/or mandates in countries such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
I wrote the above for anyone else who might read your posts. You, by are sarcastic wording, are clearly happy to have Coronavirus/Covid-19 be used as a way to abrogate republican forms of government and individual rights.

The New York stand-in governor screwed up and jumped the gun by issuing an emergency declaration for the state before there is even a single confirmed case in the US.
Gave it all away that it’s just another strain hoax to keep juggling those covid virtual powerballs aloft.

Since no scientist claims to have isolated the Covid-19 virus how do “They” identify a variant?

The verbiage describing the Chinese flu is designed to put the sheep in abnormal fear. So that they will obey, regardless of how absurd the orders sound, without hesitation or thinking. The Powers That Be do not want one to think or reason. Should the sheep think or reason, they will come to the conclusion that they are being fed a line, A/K/A, bull shitted.

Maybe not, but there are lots of planes landing TODAY from outside CONUS, and any of them could have it onboard.
