New York identified its first confirmed case of the Brazilian variant of the coronavirus.
Scientists at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City found the variant in a nonagenarian who resides in Brooklyn and has no known travel history, according to an announcement by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Saturday. The New York state Department of Health is working to learn more about the patient's potential contacts.
"The detection of the Brazilian variant here in New York further underscores the importance of taking all the appropriate steps to continue to protect your health," Cuomo said. "While it's normal for a virus to mutate, the best way to protect yourself is to continue to wear a well-fitted mask, avoid large crowds, social distance, wash your hands, and get vaccinated when it's your turn."

Cuomo nursing home death?
No. This is the real thing. The VARIANT. We must immediately shut down all economic activity until the governor says it is safe to emerge from our basements. Unfortunately, no elections can be held during this time, especially no recall elections.
If “China Virus” is racist, shouldn’t “Brazil” be racist too?
Re: Brazilian Variant
Sorry news for the Brazilians. Now the ‘white supremisists’ will be mass killing you in the streets.
Brazil variant , UK variant , but no China virus?
The Manaus Variant as my Brazilian doctor friend tells me is a fast spreading variant that has caused a lot of misery in Brazil. They are still not certain about its lethality compared to the original SARS-COV-2.

I really hate it when reports just end like this. WHAT IS THE PATIENT’s CONDITION?? Nothing said about it in the article!
If this is the first known case of the “Brazilian variant” of COVID in New York and the guy has no known travel history, then maybe it should be called the “New York variant.”
Good one Smith...
No problem. We’ve already survived Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66.
Ohhhh, it’s called Brazil variant? Isn’t that racist or something?
Could call it the "Brooklyn variant".
Most cases were in Queens, Brooklyn and Bronx.
They can call it “The Brazil Variant,” but not “The China Virus.”
VERY GOOD point!!!
Nice going, fraud PedoJoe Bidet...
