At least 64 Americans are now infected with 'super-covid,' according to a DailyMail.com tally. California has at least 34 cases, with a cluster of 32 reported by San Diego County and two infections with the new variant reported by San Bernardino County. At least seven states have cases of the B117 variant, a CDC official told DailyMail.com this earlier in this week. Once the UK announced the more infectious variant - known as B117 - had emerged there, US health officials assumed it was already in the States. At the time that he told DailyMail.com the variant was in seven states, only five had announced the presence of B117.
