B.1.1.7 was discovered in September....it's December. That's MONTHS. Also, it's crazy to think it was found immediately, much more likely it was circulating there for weeks before it was found. It takes magical thinking to believe that it didn't make it here around that same time and simply wasn't found until now rather than to believe that it suddenly appeared in rural Colorado.
