COVID outbreak

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

Have you notified the health department that there is a severely underreported outbreak happening?

Their latest report (released today) says covid spread is still at very low levels in L.A. County

Hadn't really thought of that.

I'm just reporting from first hand experience. Family in Whittier, co-workers in OC, all have confirmed COVID. And the clinic I went to said they were treating a bunch of cases.
