SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.529 (Omicron), first reported to WHO on November 24, 2021, has been designated a variant of concern. Mutations in Omicron might increase transmissibility, confer resistance to therapeutics, or partially escape infection- or vaccine-induced immunity.
While Delta remains the dominant strain in the U.S. at this time, cases of the new variant are expected to ‘dramatically increase’ during the Christmas holidays.
Differing slightly differ from the well-known trio of ‘fever, cough and loss of smell’, the five Omicron symptoms to watch out for are:
Fatigue
Night sweats
Scratchy throat
Dry cough

Etlan Community Church and The Farm Connection are placing a tractor-trailer in the old Food World/General Store parking lot on Washington
Street to accept items to send to Mayfield. They need basic supplies
and boxes/plastic totes. See the attached list for the exact items
requested. (Clothes and furniture are not requested right now because
there’s simply nowhere to put them.)
On November 19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that all adults 18 years of age and older are now eligible to get a booster shot. Thanksgiving is a time when we gather, often indoors, with others. This can lead to an increased risk of disease spread, which can be deadly for those who are vulnerable.
