Fauci: First reported case of Omicron variant involves traveler from South Africa​

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden's chief medical adviser, said that the patient diagnosed with the first reported case of the Omicron coronavirus variant in the US traveled from South Africa to San Francisco, California, and is experiencing "mild symptoms."
"The individual was a traveler who returned from South Africa on November 22 and tested positive on November 29. The individual is self-quarantining and all close contacts have been contacted and all close contacts, thus far, have tested negative. The individual was fully vaccinated and experienced mild symptoms, which are improving at this point. So this is the first confirmed case of Covid-19 caused by the Omicron variant detected in the United States," Fauci said.

BE AFRAID! BE AFRAID!

Of this version that even the doctors only noticed because of how mild the symptoms were, generally involving aches and pains for a few days and none of the people in SA who had it needed hospitalization…

BE AFRAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hopefully this time it will bring on the apocalypse. I'm so tired of clown world I'd happily take an actual Mad Max scenario over this shit.
 
I keep calling it the Megatron variant in front of my more COVID paranoid friends and I think it's getting to them. Ima keep it up.
 
Thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families. I don't know how they'll recover from this mild sniffle.
