What is Biden's plan for stopping it?

People from Minnesota travel? 🤯

Wait? Is this another, another strain? I thought it was found in Colorado? Or was that a whole different strain?

mayaj1973 And we thought 2021 was going to be better than 2020. Everyone please continue to wear a mask (or two)!

Does the vaccine cover all variants?

Who didn't see this happening? Thank you to all the globe-trotting geniuses who just keep spreading this shit so it never ends!!!!!

🤦🏻‍♂️

This news extends the pandemic at least one year

Cancel ALL international flights for at least three months.

I don't have time to worry about different strains of Covid rn. I'm just out here trying to avoid them all.

FFS! I’m going to bed.

More fear mongering propaganda

No one believes one word about the new 'variants' of the virus. Check radiation from cellular services if you want to understand why people are suffering from radiation poisoning.

Stop traveling and bringing this crap into the US for crying out loud!

It’s starting to feel like the media just wants to keep us scared Why?

This changes everything, this should be front page news

None of y'all played pandemic in highschool and it shows lol

Which means it's probably in half the states already, because you can't find it unless you're looking (testing) for it.

Seriously, why are people still traveling?

This country has acted so slow on everything pandemic related. Evidence for the severity of Brazil strain has been known for weeks. It's very similar to South Africa. Banning travel from Brazil should've been a day 1 task for new admin, but fuckhead fauci hedges early every time.

Why the fuck are you traveling during a fucking pandemic?!? Swear to to fucking god. Stay the fuck home!!!!

It's getting serious.

And Washtenaw County MI and NY. It's brought in by travel. It's EVERYWHERE.

There’s a reason we’re on 19

This will be all over the country in a month. It'll require a 3rd vaccine dose, as the current vaccine isn't effective against the Brazil variant. This is basically the beginning of the pandemic all over again. A lock down would stop it, but we aren't going to do that.

We should have quarantine hotels that people go straight to from the airport.

FUCK

Let’s all just hope that aliens aren’t planning their move anytime soon...

The hits just keep on comin'

Why can’t we implement a strict quarantine for international travel? Why are we so behind other countries?

Who TF is going to Brazil right now?

Appears to me: 1) you cannot fly international without being COVID free, and 2) wear a mask while on board. Period.

Yikes! And we have a couple more found in Michigan and the west coast. 😬

this is terrible news

God, no

ok
