BREAKING: new, more contagious #coronavirus variant B.1.1.7 detected in #Colorado in a man with NO RECENT TRAVEL.

Although this variant does NOT appear to make people more sick, the fact that it spreads >50% more easily is BAD NEWS.

Just wait, by February, the GOP will be talking about the 'failed Biden response' after all of 2 weeks and it will be their ONE issue for 2022 mid-terms to pair with debt hyperventilating to demand....you guessed it TAX CUTS for the rich, DEREGULATION for the rest of us (so we can turn neon faster while being unable to breathe or dying of COVID) and HYPOCRISY for all!!!

Dec. 8, 2020, 9:03 AM CST / Source: Associated Press
By The Associated Press and Denise Chow
A former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and a member of Pfizer’s board of directors said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s administration declined to secure millions of additional doses of Pfizer and BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine when it had the chance.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC that the White House declined “multiple” offers from Pfizer to strike a deal on more vaccines for the second quarter of 2021. Gottlieb’s statements came after The New York Times and The Associated Press reported that the Trump administration months ago did not lock in the chance to purchase millions of additional doses of Pfizer’s vaccine, which has shown to be highly effective against Covid-19.

That decision could delay the delivery of a second batch of doses until Pfizer fulfills other international contracts.

King Chaos is almost gone and yes now everything he didn’t do right will be Biden fail for Repugs

I love?!

The Gov & his partner had it, my Grandson got it in Denver last month & was sick for 3 weeks with harsh flu symptoms.. but has recovered & tested negative now.. Thank Goodness! We were so Worried! He got it from his housemate who was asymptomatic.

And, my Grandfather passed on from the Pandemic ,in a small town on the Eastern Plains in Colorado, in 1919.

And, now this is happening..

Rt TY!
