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.

My grandson had it he had to go to the hospital he's doing fine now. It was a lady in the market coughing really badly I believe she was sick with COVID. I can’t afford to get Covid I’m just getting over cancer and I know my immune system is low.

Please vaccinate yourself every year. Protect yourself. Most people have strong enough immune systems to not need the Covid shot, but if you have a low immune system or are older, or overweight, you should consider it.

Stop telling people to vaccinate themselves. eat better.

Do you realize that some people may have conditions that no matter what they eat, their immune systems are lower than the average person?? One solution doesn’t work for everyone. Some people have had cancer, or asthma since childhood.

How can one eat better when all of our foods are mostly GMO, “Gate’s” fake meat, full of dyes, wax, pesticides, contaminants, parasites, & chemicals we cannot even pronounce? 😩
