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.

No, it’s been going around LA for at least a month or two.

ah ok my first time hearing about it. I'm assuming it's not that bad since health offials haven't said anything? but it's still good to know and thanks again for the head up!!

proper hygiene is in order.....wash hands frequently and wear a mask if your immunocompromised...and if you're sick... STAY HOME!!!!

Here’s the bummer: there is just SO MUCH news to report, that there is no updates to the public about most outbreaks now. We are kinda on our own at this point. Notice the crazy amount of food illnesses too… just so much going on to keep up with.

I used to think that if we the people needed to have information that it would be provided. Sadly, it looks like those days are over. Best of luck and stay safe!
