KHOU 11 ^ | December 20, 2021 | Michelle Homer

HOUSTON — After warnings of an omicron surge over the holidays, Harris County has reported its first death caused by the omicron variant of COVID-19. It's also the first known omicron death reported nationwide.

County Judge Lina Hidalgo made the announcement during an afternoon news conference.

"My phone was ringing, I'm sure you guys noticed, and it was our public health director telling me we just had our first omicron-related death," she said.

According to Hidalgo, the patient was a man in his 50s who was not vaccinated and had an underlying health condition. He lived in Precinct 2.

KHOU-TV 11 is Tegra, Tegra = full retard Fascist.

Lina Hidalgo is a recently naturalized citizen originally from Colombia, poli-sci Stanford grad, and is also a full retard Fascist in charge of Harris County Texas (Houston).

Both Hidalgo and D.A. Kim Ogg have destroyed the county in less than two years.

I’m calling it “Omicold.” Because the symptoms are those of a common cold.

Is Tegra related to Tegna?

We have a Tegna owned station in Indianapolis.

This a flat out LIE. It is amazing how the Governments know which variant everyone has even though the PCR test was never designed to detect whether or not someone has Covid or what strain of covid it is.

Hospitals do not even have the test equipment to determine the Covid strain. The only way they can keep track of the strains is because the Governments are following a release schedule.

ALL THINGS COVID ARE A LIE.................ALL!!!!

“What’s unvaccinated? He had his booster but it was within 2 weeks, so he was “unvaccinated”

EXACTLY!! The way that people are counted as “v@xxed” or un-v@axxed” is almost as inaccurate as the way cases are counted when CTs are set to 42 on the PCR test!! Evidently, most hospitals do NOT even ask the patient - they check THEIR system and if they did not receive the jabs through them (maybe they went to Costco or Walgreen’s?) then they list them as un-v@xxed on their chart. Nothing manipulative about that at all..../sarc

60% of American adults have underlying health conditions, so I don’t get your point.

Conveniently he was unvaccinated, but to know for sure he had omicron his sample would have had to go to a lab to be Gene Sequenced to know.

You idiot’s are grasping at straws. This guy had survived Delta fully recovered and then got corona again so much for the vaulted “natural immunity” which every real scientist with access to titier tests knows fades rapidly with time. He NEVER had any vaccine he was a “pure blood” and had natural immunity from Delta what happened you morons tell the class. Oh wait science not internet idiot’s have shown that just surviving SARS Covid II is not going to protect you from the newer mutations as they have evolved to get around antibodies be them from survival or vaccination. 40% of Americans have “pre-existing” medical conditions that means obesity which y’all are a nation of fatasses, diabetes you again Americans have dah diabetes, or hypertension which 50% of the adult population has diagnosed or undiagnosed hypertension. Americans are some of the fattest and most unhealthy people on the planet bar none. I would bet real money fully half the people in this board are clinically overweight,have hypertension or diabetes fully HALF. and less than one quarter could run a mile in under 8 minutes without getting close to a cardiac event. But there’s same fat peoples are going to fight a civil war in the streets with 20 year olds ha. Please don’t take the vaccines the Covid is doing a great job of killing off the fatties.

Doesn’t matter. It’s all President Trump’s and the Unvaccinated fault. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

I thought there are very few test sites to ID variants.

Meanwhile FOX is showing data showing 75% new cases are “O”, and how some states have as much as 90%, etc. where do they get this verification?

Likely obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and/or hypertension.

Both Hidalgo and D.A. Kim Ogg have destroyed the county in less than two years.

Good news, though - the Harris County vote fraud machine is well-tuned, and in overdrive. /s

Unfortunately, Eyepatch McCain seems to be out of its reach for the time being.

Sorry, don’t believe it. Was a PCR test used to determine this? Why then is the CDC phasing them out in a few days?

Only in a lab with a Gene Sequencing machine can you distinguish the variants

Motorcycle accident was a good one. As you know, that really happened. They claimed that guy died from COVID.
