Rapidly Spreading New ‘Arcturus’ COVID Strain Detected in 20 States

But the coronavirus and its variants are still very much around, and still sometimes resulting in hospitalization and death. And the virus continues to mutate. Last week, the World Health Organization said that it was monitoring a variant dubbed XBB.1.16, or “Arcturus.” This is an Omicron subvariant, similar to the most transmissible COVID variant yet -- XBB.1.5,, nicknamed “Kraken.” And if that weren’t enough, a descendant of the new subvariant, XBB.1.16.1, has been detected in several states. (These are alarming outbreaks currently ongoing in the U.S.)

To compile a list of all the states where the new COVID variant has been detected, 24/7 Tempo reviewed data provided by Tableau Public, an American interactive data visualization software company. The table is updated regularly. Population data came from U.S. Census Bureau's 2022 American Community Survey one-year estimates.

As of the end of March 2023, there have been a total of 195 confirmed cases of the Arcturus variant around America. More cases were being reported every week until week 12 of this year, when cases dropped from 65 to 48 to four. The decline, however, may be due to lack of reporting, not necessarily due to the virus slowing down.

I recommend all progressive DemonCraps immediately to the 2 stage full proof masking procedure. They have kept it super secret. Firs take eithe a homemade, surgical or N95 mask and affix it as well as you can. Then using plastic sheeting (must be 4 mil thickness but better is better) and cut minimum 3x3 foot section. Start by putting center af plastic at the to of the head. Drape all sides down past the neck area. Pull tight bunching up extra below the neck. This is the most critical element, utilize a good duck or 100 mph type of tape and tightly wrap around neck to ensure no viral particals can easily past barrier. That’s is why the first mask helps.

Light headed feelings are a good sign that deal is in place. For thorough testing do some running in place, run up some stairs … to ensure light headed feelings are occurring. If not add more tape as tight as you can. Moisture buildup is anther good sign it’s working.

This method is too good to share with conservatives, Jesus freaks and especially gun owners who talk about constitutional rights to own bears. They are that nuts. Tell the to use a net or cut wholes in the plastic but never share this technology with the dirty neighbors that keep going on about “freedom” or “rights”.

Share away with your lgbtqp+, drag queen club and Anheiser Bush executives.

Be safe from BB-8/R2D2 variant with C-3PO affinity.

It’s now a PlanDEMic of the Jabbed, sadly.

But...we knew this is exactly what would be happening.

Immune systems of the jabbed are compromised.

REAL docs/scientists explained this, early on....how you CANNOT “vaccinate” out of a pandemic....it will simply make the virus mutate.
