BREAKING: Governor Newsom says his administration has learned within the last hour a case of the new COVID-19 strain is in California.

He told Dr. Anthony Fauci just now on a live-streamed event. Fauci says he’s not surprised.

Holidays explain some of it, but sure feels like something else is going on.

It's obviously here and the insane amount of holiday travel will make sure it's everywhere imminently. Stay home and stay safe everyone who can. It's going to get much worse before it gets any better.

Our health and economy will take years to recover because we have a large, radicalized, science-denying death cult: the Republican party. We didn't test, trace, and isolate. We didn't shut down. Now, we can't start up. Death cults are deadly.

We should assume ots been here since early fall just after it was discovered. The reason it has taken this long is that, like most things covid, surveillance in the US sucks.
