Jan 5 New UK Variants B.1.1.7 In US Saratoga Springs NY seq released Georgia Confirmed San Diego Co - 32 Cases https://recombinomics.co/thedrnimanshow/2021/010521_Variant_32_SD.mp3

32 COVID-19 Variant Cases Identified in San Diego County Credit: Shutterstock By José A. Álvarez, County of San Diego Communications OfficeJan. 5, 2021 | 12:39 PM Twenty-four confirmed and four probable cases of the more contagious strain of SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, have been identified in San Diego County, the Health and Human Services Agency announced today. The new cases of the variant that emerged in the United Kingdom, known as B.1.1.7, bring the region’s total to 32. Sixteen are men and 16 are women. The new total includes 28 cases confirmed by whole genome sequencing and four probable cases that are directly linked to the confirmed cases and have positive diagnostic nucleic acid tests, but are not yet sequenced. Two dozen new variant cases were confirmed on Jan. 4 from specimens collected from Dec. 27 through Dec. 31 and tested at the San Diego-based laboratory Helix and its partner Illumina under a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveillance project. There have been no COVID-19 deaths connected to the variant, but one woman had to be hospitalized. She is now at home recovering. The 24 newly confirmed patients are believed to have no travel history and to have come from 19 different households, but the investigation and contact tracing are ongoing. New cases have been identified in San Diego, Chula Vista, La Mesa, and Lakeside. The cases are among multiple age groups. While the four youngest cases are under 10 and the oldest is over 70, the average age of the variant cases to date is 36, the same as the overall average for all confirmed cases in the county to date. The variant was first identified Dec. 30 in a man in his 30s with no travel history. Three additional cases were announced Dec. 31. The County has asked all testing labs that have the capability to identify suspect cases of the new strain to forward specimens for genome sequencing to determine if they are indeed cases of the variant. Local doctors have also been requested to forward COVID-19 positive tests from patients with a travel history to the United Kingdom or other places overseas where variants have been detected. At this time, it believed that the vaccines currently available will offer protection against newly emerging variants. Scientists continue to study the new strains of the novel coronavirus to determine their potential impact. County health officials say San Diegans should do the following now more than ever: Keep your distance from others and leave your household only for essential activities Wear a mask Wash your hands If you’re sick, get tested, and then stay home and isolate yourself For more information about COVID-19, testing locations and vaccine distribution, visit www.coronavirus-sd.com.

First Case of COVID-19 Variant Identified in Georgia JANUARY 05, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jan. 5, 2021 First Case of COVID-19 Variant Identified in Georgia Atlanta – The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is announcing Georgia’s first case of COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7, the same variant discovered in the U.K. and in several other countries and U.S. states. The variant was discovered during analysis of a specimen sent by a pharmacy in Georgia to a commercial lab. The Georgia resident is an 18-year-old male with no travel history, and is currently in isolation at home. DPH is working to identify close contacts of the individual and will monitor them closely and test them for the variant. Preliminary epidemiologic information suggests that this variant is significantly more contagious than the SARS-CoV-2 virus. So far, there is no evidence that the B.1.1.7 variant causes more severe illness or increased risk of death. “The emergence of this variant in our state should be a wake-up call for all Georgians,” said DPH Commissioner Kathleen E. Toomey, M.D., M.P.H. “Even as we begin roll out of a COVID-19 vaccine, we must not let down our guard and ignore basic prevention measures – wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands frequently.” DPH, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will continue to watch for emerging COVID-19 variants and will provide more information as it becomes available.
