>>Has anything been said about a possible change in the mix of variants?

[The Health Minister Enrique Paris] said, "We do not advise going to Brazil at this minute because when returning the measures are very strict. We have several cases of people infected with the Brazilian strain, six, and it appears 14 or 15 infected with the British strain."
Doesn't seem like many but I guess the implication is that they'll spread fast. Track & Trace isn't really a thing here. They can just about find and test the members of the same household and that's about it.
14m currently quarantined (out of 19m pop). More to come I think. Infection rates have dropped over the last few days but the hospitals are screwed, and I guess there'll be a three or four week lag until the hospital situation improves even if the infection rate continues to decline.
The belief is that we should start to see impact from vaccinations about now.
