All 38? Holy crap, what are you going to do now that thirty eight are in NC? Who gives a shit. Tell your governor to ban people from going to Florida. Better yet, stay in your closet with the shrink wrap around your house and don't come out. Do everyone else a favor.
These were the first 38 COVID variant cases that were found in North Carolina that were fully contact traced. After that we stopped reporting where they came from. Banning anyone going/coming from Florida until you sort out your COVID variant situation rather than DeSantis hiding the data seems like a good idea.
The fact that you keep track of the variant cases shows what a lunatic you are. I remember when you told us how the B117 (whatever) variant was going to be the death of Florida. Right. That never happened - just the latest failed prediction. Oh, right. DeSantis is lying about the data.
As posted earlier... there was a local article outlining our first 38 variant cases in North Carolina and the contact tracing showing each & every one came from Florida.
I am not doubting you... but please produce a link to that fact... google brings up 38 cases at davidson college and 38 states with the variants... buts its not an easy search to verify your statement.
So I clicked on your link to the article .. not a single sentence about them all visiting florida... Did you lie your ass off again? https://www.newsobserver.com/article249519060.html The first known B.1.1.7 variant of COVID-19 — the more contagious strain that was first discovered in the United Kingdom — has been detected in Durham County, health officials said Thursday. Durham County Health Director Rod Jenkins said detecting the case in Durham was expected, as several cases already have been identified across the state since the first one was confirmed on Jan. 27. There are 37 known cases in North Carolina, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Thursday, the CDC reported that 1,881 cases had been detected in 45 states. The person who contracted this variant is in isolation, the health department said, and contacts have been identified. No information was provided about the person. There is one known case in North Carolina of the other COVID-19 variant, B. 1.351, which was first detected in South Africa, the CDC reports. It was first confirmed Feb. 11, The News & Observer reports. Across the country, there are 46 known cases in 14 states. During a Wednesday press conference, N.C. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen called the new variants “a wild card” and said they could threaten the state’s improving COVID-19 metrics. “We know these variants are here in our state and are more contagious, so keep wearing a mask, waiting six feet apart and washing your hands,” Cohen said. “We’ve seen in the past how fragile progress can be.” A sample taken from Mecklenburg County last month marked the first time that the B.1.1.7 strain, which was first sequenced in the United Kingdom, was identified in North Carolina. In an effort to protect against the more infectious coronavirus variants, DHHS is recommending people wear two layers of masks in line with guidance from the CDC SarahLewis Peel, a DHHS spokeswoman, told The N&O earlier this month that the N.C. State Laboratory of Public Health has been submitting at least five random samples to the CDC for sequencing every two weeks since November. On Feb. 8, the CDC started requesting 16 samples from North Carolina every week. The CDC also has increased its surveillance due to the new variants, asking for a total of 61 specimens from North Carolina’s lab until the week of March 8, Peel said. In addition to those 61 specimens, Labcorp evaluates some of its own samples via a contract the company has with the CDC. Wednesday, Cohen said North Carolina officials also hope to benefit from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ $200 million investment to triple sequencing of COVID-19 samples. In a release, HHS said the CDC will work with commercial labs, research institutions and federal labs to increase sequencing capacity. “We expect to participate in that effort and (in) making sure even more samples from North Carolina will be part of that surveillance effort as we go forward,” Cohen said.
