The new variant is 50-65% more infectious than the disease we have already been fighting for the last 12 months. Stay vigilant and don't let down your guard.

Thank You COL (Join to see) for making us aware that a variant COVID-19 strain likely circulating in many states.
Texas, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut became the latest states to confirm cases of B11
There are now at least 56 cases of B117 in eight states. California (26) and Florida (22) have reported the most. Single cases have also been found in New York, Florida, and Georgia, and Colorado officials have confirmed two cases.
Louisiana, New Hampshire, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, and Virginia.
California, the state saw a 2-day record of COVID-19 deaths, with 1,042 deaths totaled yesterday and today across the state. Hospitals in hot spots, including Los Angeles, are threatened to be overrun in the coming weeks.
Thank you my friend CSM Charles Hayden for mentioning me.

COL (Join to see) Isolation from everyone is the safest state. I last saw my lady friend on Nov 15, 2020. After avoiding her, her family and visitors during the holidays, I am leaving that self quarantine mindset and am driving to see her next week!

CSM Charles Hayden I am tracking scientific studies and one showed that this virus can stay active up to 28 days on credit cards and cell phone glass. if someone has the viral particles on their hands and is putting in their pins and zip codes on a touch pad at stores and fueling stations and ATMs the virus can be transferred to the touch pads. If they have contaminated their credit cards then when they swipe them there is a chance the virus will be transferred to the machine and when you swipe yours or hand them to a cashier with contaminated hands then when you get your card back it will be contaminated. If people lay their phones down on counters or surfaces that have not been cleaned they risk picking it up. With over 90% of Americans wearing masks and numbers continuing to spiral up, the virus is being spread by more than close proximity.
