    Yes there’s an approved list of reasons to be outside your home. I’ve also read they are being proactive about enforcement.

    They have traced it back to one not vaccinated person in one country but that doesn't imply the person is n = 1 person. Thus, it could have been a vaccinated person with mild symptoms that's the actual n = 1 person who then infected a not vaccinated person.

    As stated, it will be a few weeks before world laboratories know the factual details about Omicron.

    Seeing that the state of California actually tests for variants. And DeSantis in Florida has stopped the state from testing for variants or announcing variant numbers -- it is not surprising that a state outside of Florida announced finding the first Omicron case. The sad reality is that Omicron could have been circling in Florida for weeks and the state would have no clue about it thanks to DeSantis.

    So you're saying it came in through Florida?

    Can you show me a link to a reliable source where Florida no longer tests for variants?

    As noted many times before DeSantis stopped testing or reporting data for variants in Florida last spring. I posted plenty of articles on this in the other thread. The newspapers even sued DeSantis to get the variant data collected by the state prior the state even suspending even testing for variants this summer (You know lots of Delta made DeSantis look bad).

    The only source for variant data in Florida now are surveillance audits done by private testing labs which process Covid PCR tests for the state. These labs report their information to the federal government since Florida does not take it in or support it.

    So the CDC is still getting variant data from Florida. Right.

    NYC should be the main entry point for visitors coming in from Africa, most of them via Amsterdam, etc.
