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

[Mottie]

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

Isn’t N501Y ellals postcode?

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.

Usual. Speil to fit yer agenda/ narrative




So what is the Brexit link.

[IT Minion]

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.

Yes, one of the 23. Like I said. You're not good at this reading stuff. Mutation!=Strain

Johnson, Gove and Rees-Mogg.

I'm glad you're beginning to notice.

Too late, though.

It will be too late if people don't wake up and stop allowing themselves to be spoon fed increasingly ridiculous scare stories that the figures don't support. But most have made their minds up and don't want to admit to themselves that their opinion may be wrong. It's easier just to run with the herd. Ignorance may have been understandable in March or April, but not now when we know a lot more. I was swept along by the tales of doom early on, but there's no excuse for being ill informed now.

Too many of them were willing support Johnson's lies, and now the nation is on the downward path with no turning back for years.

Still doing things like pushing through tier 4 without parliament there to scrutinise. Start as you mean to go on.

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???

There could be truth in that statement, they are letting people in Britain know what they can expect if they don't surrender.

 

[noseall]

Science can justify anything. The Nazis trusted the scientists!

The Nazis also drank water, **** and pizzed and had sex, but oddly, we still continue to trust in those.

I wonder if JDOPEY thinks Corbyn would have done a better job. As for Starmer, wow........ he makes the Welsh leader look charismatic.

 

[Vinty]

I'm not surprised the UK variant is more efficient at spreading the virus.
Anything British made is always going to be better than any Chinese rubbish.

Starmer said lockdown weeks and weeks ago.

Lockdown early and hard = less Covid, less economic damage.

So Starmer would be doing better.

Suppose a foreign power invaded the UK using weapons. Should we have to wait for Parliament to scrutinise any decision by the Prime Minister to use the military to defend the country and it's population ?
