The new COVID-19 variant discovered in the UK made its way to Colorado.
On Tuesday, the Office of Governor Jared Polis announced a man in his 20s is currently in isolation in Elbert County with COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7. The man does not have any travel history, according to the governor’s office. The variant has sparked concern worldwide because of signs that it may spread more easily. While there is no indication it causes more serious illness, several countries in Europe restricted travel from the UK as a result.
The Colorado state lab was the first in the country to quickly identify the variant through sophisticated analysis of testing samples, the release reads.

This new variant truly worries me. How bad will it be? DH got his 1st vaccine today. Since December 20, I personally know 6 people who have died from Covid (and to be clear - they really died from Covid. Like, all were in ICU and not just they died and maybe had Covid). An ex boyfriend thats funeral is today, a friends mom, my nephews step-grandfather. My basketball coach from Little Dribblers. My cities former mayors husband that I was on a Charity board with. A local businessman who owned a popular furniture store.
Im just scared for those I love and my area.
