“#California may have highly contagious homegrown COVID-19 strain<\/strong>”

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 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Two separate research groups have discovered the app<\/a>arent California strain while looking for the new variant that is believed to have come from the United Kingdom, according to the Los Angeles Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The supposed California strain is in the same \u201cfamily tree\u201d as the U.K. strain and could be behind the state\u2019s spread over the past few months, the paper said.<\/p>\n

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

Another analysis found that 25 percent of 332 samples taken in Northern California were of the new strain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a homegrown variant under our noses,\u201d Dr. Charles Chiu, a laboratory medicine specialist at University of California, San Francisco, told the news<\/a>paper.<\/p>\n

Chiu said that they only found the strain when searching for the UK variant. <\/p>\n

Dr. Eric Vail, a pathologist at Cedars Sinai, said the strain could be responsible for doubling the state\u2019s total death toll in the space of less than three months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt probably helped to accelerate the number of cases around the holiday season,\u201d Vail said. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut human behavior is the predominant factor in the spread of a virus, and the fact that it happened when the weather became colder and in the midst of the holidays when people gather is not an accident.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
