No longer the "China Virus" - the more virulent strain is UK made!

[transam]

Nah he just (Minion) wants to blame the UK

He will. Probably link it to brexit or buffoon Johnson some how

Tis what he and the usual suspects live for

 

[Notch7]

Bearing in mind it's mainly European lorries caught up in the blockade, I suspect it won't last too long.

it is not a blockade

 

[Notch7]

I didn't, I just read the link I posted.

One of the mutations—known as "N501Y"—was detected in Brazil as far back as April, Dr. Julian Tang, a clinical virologist from the University of Leicester, U.K., told Newsweek.

somebody from the UK spread it to Brazil

Apologies, lazy choice of words. Ports and ferries closed.

 

[Notch7]

over-hyped virus appears

tin foil hat alert

 

[fillyboy]

somebody from the UK spread it to Brazil

It's possible.

 

[transam]

Some one from Europe spread it to the UK

Chef suspects are the French

They probably rounded up. All. Those with it in Calais gave em. A rubber boat and a tow half way across the Channel.

Issued em. All. With phones and numbers for the UK coast guard

Funny innit, how, just as we approach yet another day when we are going to "finally leave the European Union" a new strain of this over-hyped virus appears, and is used, mainly by European countries, as an excuse to blockade Britain???

Exactly


French

Quite. Just like muslims coming to Europe is not an invasion.

A virologist on the Andrew Castle LBC show at around 10am yesterday morning stated that we are at the forefront of tracing & discovering Covid & it’s mutations accounting for around 45% of all research to date. The new mutation (501) was 1st traced in Kent in September. Boris was shown all possible/ likely projections of the new strain , if left unchecked on Friday.
The strain had also taken hold in Holland & Denmark. A single case was recently discovered in Australia but (hopefully) contained. Northern European countries like Slovakia & Lithuania & more daily are reporting s rapid increase in cases. Apparently the new strain came over from France or Holland via the Channel but was only identified & tracked due to the world leading virologists in the uk.
Andrew Castles pod cast is available on catch up.

MSN? They just repeat other news sources

Also, I just checked their stats, they aren't ramping up much. If this new strain is there then why aren't they skyrocketing too?

Because it's all a load of bowlox. People are sacrifacing their future on the say-so of a bunch of crooked, incompetent untrustworthy chancers. Majority of people normally distrust politicians, but vast majority have allowed themselves to be so scared by a tiny risk that they'll do anything to stay 'safe'. All reason has gone out the window. Maybe some will wake up, look into the facts behind the scare headlines and start to put things in perspective. This must be the only 'deadly' illness you die with not from. It's that ridiculous.

Johnson, Gove and Rees-Mogg.

I'm glad you're beginning to notice.

Too late, though.

Science can justify anything. The Nazis trusted the scientists!

R&C is one of you and always has been. He lives in a flower pot.....

Hmm the new variant has 17 mutations of which one is the spike protein N501Y.

The BMJ and HSJ made a joint editorial about locking down earlier on the 15th but that fell on deaf ears.

Who said Boris was shown the projections on Friday?

VUI-202012/01 - thats its official name.

Also as to it being from abroad -

Nick Loman, professor of microbial genomics and bioinformation at the University of Birmingham, told a briefing by the Science Media Centre on 15 December that the variant was first spotted in late September and now accounts for 20% of viruses sequenced in Norfolk, 10% in Essex, and 3% in Suffolk. “There are no data to suggest it had been imported from abroad, so it is likely to have evolved in the UK,” he said.
