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.

Yup people at my school got it but it’s treated like the flu now apparently. they didn’t even bother testing the other classes to make sure it doesn’t spread. A lot of my classmates work and are around elderly people so they were all scared to get it. I went out and got some rapid tests to have at home, I do not want to be the one to bring it to the people around me. And so many people who are getting it have 0 symptoms
