U.S. health officials have confirmed the country’s first case of the new, heavily mutated coronavirus variant called omicron in California, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said the individual, who was fully vaccinated, had just returned from traveling in South Africa to the San Francisco area on Nov. 22 and tested positive on Nov. 29.
“The individual is self quarantining and all close contacts have been contacted and all close contacts, thus far, have tested negative,” he announced at a White House press briefing providing more details of the case. “We feel good that this patient not only had mild symptoms

Time to panic and do whatever the Federal Fuhrers say even if it makes no sense.
Let California go first.

Fauci will say, “Every Californian was in close contact with this new case!” “Shut the state down! Now!

One would wonder how it is determined that someone had a new variant. Fauci just makes it up?

And - - in other scary, breaking medical news - - a guy in Missouri named George - - had this weird pain in his right elbow. He started feeling it when he woke up this morning - - but after he had lunch - - it was feeling way better.
Medical authorities throughout the federal bureaucracy - - remain on high alert.

Actually, the moronic variant is pretty widespread in California. Anyone who votes for 'rats has it.

Gavin's tweet an hour ago:
"CA’s large-scale testing and early detection systems have found the Omicron COVID-19 variant in California. We should assume that it’s in other states as well.
There’s no reason to panic--but we should remain vigilant. That means GET VACCINATED. GET BOOSTED. WEAR A MASK INDOORS."

Yawn.
So what? I'm done with this whole "run in circles, scream and shout" nonsense. 99.9+% of people who get it survive. Large portions of the population are naturally immune. Large swaths have already had the disease, recovered and won't get sick again.
A bunch of us have early treatment options arranged in advance.
Go and try to scare somebody else.

As soon as this was announced - one guy in one state with mild symptoms - the Dow dropped over 400 points. It's getting beyond ridiculous!

With mild symptoms, it may be all over the place. To my knowledge, the BinaxNow nasal swab test which is so common doesn't differentiate between the different variants.

The SA medico who reported omicron said the symptoms are minor and no one has been hospitalized.
Big Pharma fauxi gates and the media will hype it out of proportion.

We’ve already had hundreds if not thousands of cases of Omicron. It’s adverse reactions to the jabs. Short or long term.

Interesting that they had a test already established to know what to look for.
Great to hear that the symptoms are mild too, this should calm markets and general public (not the democrat politicians though).

Since the PCR test cannot determine if the person has a cold, influenza or covid, (admitted by the developer of the test) how is hades can they say this "new variant" is in California? More BS pushing a BS virus that has over 98% survival rate even for people in their 80's. The virus is not any worse than the yearly strain of flu of which there were 0 reported cases last year for some strange reason. Its all a scam, however many have needlessly died from the vaccine, lung destroying ventilators, or being denied known drugs that work if taken in the early stages such as hydroxychloroquine or ivermectine. I will not comply.
