Omicron is Here (in the U.S.)

Today the first reported cases of Omicron in the U.S. have hit the media. It looks like California is the first to report the new strand.

Today's articles to be aware of:

"First Confirmed US case of Omicron coronavirus variant detected in California" - It's here. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/01/health/us-omicron-variant-confirmed-case/index.html?fbclid=IwAR3uIRDn6OfMNWeh7StnoWG7O3shIT1_BFdfUbVLKIVtIPkAGayGkPeIQJ0

"Air travelers to U.S. set to face tougher COVID-19 testing" - This is really going to impact international students and international travel as well. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-cdc-urges-americans-avoid-travel-niger-poland-over-covid-19-2021-11-30/?fbclid=IwAR3Ed2b5APKKJF08sAsyqX7IfAGgD4p46d1qjQNGz_Wv-FTNLwRKIwh21X4

"Anti-Vaxxer Who Treated His COVID Infection With Bleach Ingredient Dies" - Not surprising that an Anti-Vaxxer killed themselves while pulling a Trump. Trust me I understand wanting to self treat, including if you were like me and not getting any help from your medical team, but at the same time only use things that can safely go into the human body, DO NOT DRINK BLEACH or any other similar product or chemical in it. If you can not get help from modern medicine look at traditional medicine or indigenous medicine. Also look at what your body may be missing nutrition wise to make sure your body has what it needs to fight the infection. ABOVE all get the vaccine. https://www.newsweek.com/anti-vaxxer-treated-covid-infection-bleach-ingredient-dies-johann-biacsics-austria-1654943?fbclid=IwAR2biBv53TUDG2_PArmBgZtuT8dgvm3rEyY7bxIP7MtAN2UKQ3cQeSiuPL0

"Marcus Lamb, Televangelist Whose Daystar Network Warned Against Vaccines, Dies of COVID-19" - Not surprised that he killed himself, and yes he did kill himself since he did not do what he should have done to protect himself. What got me about this one is about all the bad/false information he was responsible for spreading. How many people did he kill by them listing to him and the messages his network were presenting. How much blood does he have on his hands? https://people.com/health/marcus-lamb-televangelist-daystar-network-covid-19/?fbclid=IwAR1TY97oF9DQDt_YTudnPgCUfRqnklVd3S9V-cxEqQVlJaH1Dhanw5Ow1Z0

"Monoclonal antibody treatment will be available by bus in Colorado" - At least treatment options are expanding. As a reminder you will for the most part be on your own if you are with Kaiser in trying to set up a treatment. Don't expect help from them. https://kdvr.com/news/coronavirus/monoclonal-antibody-treatment-will-be-available-by-bus-in-colorado/?fbclid=IwAR0y3qIw8hgIgcvKGJm_jf7MQ6gIePyTI4oiNGOMmQH42JH1byGCWPDnZQA

International:

"Omicron Case In Nigeria Dates Back To October, Weeks Before It Was First Reported In South Africa" - This is a good example of where something may have come from somewhere else but it gets linked to who first says something, kind of like the Spanish Flu. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/12/01/omicron-case-in-nigeria-dates-back-to-october-weeks-before-it-was-first-reported-in-south-africa/?fbclid=IwAR0y3qIw8hgIgcvKGJm_jf7MQ6gIePyTI4oiNGOMmQH42JH1byGCWPDnZQA&sh=6cd686c72abc

"These Countries Are Slapping the Unvaccinated With Fines and Bans" - This shows how the US is not taking the pandemic as seriously as other countries and why we are falling behind as a world leader. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-01/these-countries-are-slapping-the-unvaccinated-with-fines-bans?fbclid=IwAR3QGNAWdCJwy1noIv7Mtw2dhMT9pT2ZwvVqp_9fCgTzpusqXkrjiMvztlg
