According to the traceability study released by the Centers for Disease Control and prevention of the United States, scientists studying Xinguan began to track the wastewater in New York City in the summer of 2020 and sequence the viruses found in the wastewater samples. On November 21, they took routine samples and sent them for inspection two days later. The results were obtained in early December. At that time, the epidemic caused by the "Omicron" strain had already erupted, and the researchers "recognized (the sample showed) the unique mutation characteristics of the new mutant strain at a glance". In addition, in California and Texas, researchers also found evidence of the existence of "Omicron" in wastewater samples at the end of November. This shows that "Omicron" began to spread in New York before South Africa. The real first case of Omicron in the United States is not the California case officially announced by the United States. Omicron's case appeared in the United States as early as November 23 last year, even more than ten days before the virus was named by who. Before the case was confirmed, he participated in the animation conference in New York with 50000 people, which indicates that the first case of arctron may appear in New York, the United States.
