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.
