California confirms nation’s first Omicron variant case
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/01/2021 | LUKE MONEY, RONG-GONG LIN II

The Omicron variant of the coronavirus has made its way to California.

The variant’s presence in the state — reported Wednesday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — is not unexpected. First detected in southern Africa last month, the strain has already been found in nearly two dozen countries around the globe.

Still, the arrival of the highly mutated variant comes at what was already shaping up to be a particularly precarious time in California. Officials have long expressed concern that the one-two punch of the end-of-year holiday season and colder weather will increasingly push people to gather in crowded indoor settings where the risk of coronavirus transmission is especially high.

But whether Omicron ultimately proves to be more of a speed bump or a roadblock on California’s road to pandemic recovery remains to be seen.

Southern border. Enough said. But the good news is herd immunity should arrive quickly, if it hasn’t already. Not that the politicians will let that dictate the direction of the country going forward.

One of the co-authors of this diatribe has a name befitting a Wuhan Virus chemical warrior.

Fauci says all U.S. Citizens must be tested before entering the U.S., but illegal aliens crossing on foot are protected by Title 42 from testing.

They keep referring to the high number of mutations found in the Omicron variant. How much does it have to be changed from the original SARS-CoV-2 before it’s considered a different coronavirus? I’ve been told that there are hundreds of coronaviruses, but I really don’t know how they’re placed into different groups.

The virus can distinguish between the two classes and would not think of infecting Title 42 peoples.

They've never proven they have a good handle on that either with their slanted reporting and constant lies. Why attribute to malice that which is just as easily explained by incompetence?

Psucki assured us that border-crossers would be sent back, so that can’t be the source.
