Omicron is officially stateside.
And it looks like it snuck in via California:

We’re glad that the patient didn’t experience severe symptoms.
But we can’t help but wonder how something like this could’ve happened. In California, of all places!
Amazing that this happened despite California’s covid-mitigation tactics #FollowTheScience https://t.co/UiQ1dSBqba

Can't be true. Am constantly told this is prevented by Gavin Newsom's awesome mandates and policies. Don't they mean Florida? https://t.co/vP1l08G0gv

Surely they meant Florida. Why would Ron DeSantis do this?

He’s so sneaky, that guy.
Ban all travel from California immediately. Also the nuclear option has to be on the table. https://t.co/OFgHTQTTdx

On the table? Hell, it should be the freakin’ centerpiece.
We must nuke California immediately. https://t.co/503UWHSGHY pic.twitter.com/KLKIecPBrw

Can never be too careful.
California is always infected with something, so 🤷♀️

Oh well. The good thing is that Joe Biden thought to enact a travel ban!
We knew it was already here but Biden went ahead with his racist Black ban anyways
Amazing https://t.co/wCQ8X90JZq
