California covid strain?

 via NY Post.

Scientists in California believe there is a homegrown coronavirus strain in the state that could be responsible for the dramatic rise in cases, a report said Sunday.


Two separate research groups have discovered the apparent California strain while looking for the new variant that is believed to have come from the United Kingdom, according to the Los Angeles Times.


The supposed California strain is in the same “family tree” as the UK strain and could be behind the state’s spread over the past few months, the paper said.


One of the labs that discovered the strain, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it amounted to 24 percent of about 4,500 viral samples gathered throughout California in the last weeks of 2020.


Another analysis found that 25 percent of 332 samples taken in Northern California were of the new strain.

Did the Spanish Flu mutate like this?  If not then we're in uncharted territory.  This little monster is mutating faster than we can get cures.  I wonder if we're on the verge of a human culling?

With the Commandant's new concept is the Marine Corps reverting back to its WW2 roots of being subordinate to the Navy. Answer? YES!

 

This is an outstanding question but MAGTravF has it wrong.

Of course this concept makes the Marine Corps subordinate.  Of course it means that the Marine Corps no longer deserves a seat at the JCS.  Of course it means that this reverses all the hard work done by so many for so long. 

If the Commandant's vision becomes reality then it doesn't make sense for the Marine Corps to be considered a separate service.

To be honest I thought that becoming subordinate to the Navy was part of what this was all about and part of the plan to guarantee the existence of the Marine Corps in his twisted plan.

I find it funny that anyone could think that this wasn't leading to this inevitable outcome.

If you make yourself subordinate then you will be subordinate.

The Commandant is making us subordinate so that is what we will become.

Block in a police cruiser and you get smashed...

 

If the officer can properly articulate that he was in fear of his life then no matter how much the mob howls he'll be ok.  This will be considered reasonable.  

Sorry folks.

It's just the way it is.

Why can we all look at the DC riots and see such different stuff?


 The above pic has nothing to do with the topic...I'm going to the range and it fits my work today.

Question.

How can we all look at supposedly the same pics and vids from the DC riots and see such different stuff?

I'm amazed at the fact that the video and pics is the same.  No doubt there.  But everyone seems to have taken sides on the issue.

I'm stunned by that.

It's our nation's capitol!

If nothing else we should all be outraged (I would think) that it would be so vulnerable to a mob in the age of terrorism.

I would think that regardless of party (or anything else...) that people rushing into the vote certification after an election would outrage us all.

But it didn't.

I don't get it.

Not even the most fevered Trump supporter has to realize the guy was a less than ideal candidate.  Don't get me wrong.  Biden isn't much better but the reality is if we can survive Trump, we can survive Biden just like we've survived all the other fools that have held that office.

So why the disconnect?  I get that a few are just ate up on the politics of this thing but I'm not talking to them.  I honestly just skip over their comments cause everyone is just a variation on their constant theme.

I'm talking to others that have the ability to change their minds when the info changes.  What gives?
