to break previous daily highs for case rates in California due to its high likelihood of transmission. But why?
In California, we are all too familiar with the term spreading like wildfire, and it's now used for omicron because of where the variant lives in your body. "There's a lot more in the big airways of the lungs," UCSF Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Peter Chin-Hong said."Because that's closer to the nose and mouth and there's a ton there, you just expel it a lot more."Northern California's Marin County surveyed students who tested positive in the county after the holidays. Many said they traveled out of the state, participated in indoor sports and attended indoor gatherings.
"Anywhere, not just indoors, where you're spending a long time in, like more than an hour or thirty minutes, then you really need to up your COVID precaution game," Dr. Chin-Hong said.
