With news of a second strain in the UK that has shuttered London, U.S. leaders are starting to take precautions. Experts predict that the second variant of the virus is reportedly 70 percent more transmissible than the original strain.

"We will have a new approach, given the new strain we're seeing there," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said in a press conference on Wednesday.

There is no "New COVID Strain!"

It's yet another lie from the Plandemic crowd that stole our election.

The UK is being punished by the Globalists for Brexit.

Effective immediately, he said, all travelers coming from the United Kingdom will receive an order directing them to quarantine.

I thought passenger flights from UK and Europe were banned back in the spring. How is anybody traveling here from the UK?

Seems like a problem that doesn't exist, and a big government pronouncement that isn't needed.

“”We’re going to have sheriff’s deputies go to the home or the hotel of every single traveler coming in from the UK,” the mayor noted. “

To do what - possibly get the new strain of covid-19 and pass it on to other New Yorkers? That will help. (sarc)

He actually did say that.
I know he would never do anything as drastic if he knew the addresses of known terrorists.

How does a governor make rules specific to foreign nations? This is not allowed. Imagine if Texas said no Saudis could travel to Texas without special rules.

This is crap to let governors set foreign policy. Say a Brit ignores his rules, does he think he can deport them?
