    The irony is.. apparently some of those countries have similar cases according to Valance but we aren’t banning them.

    Then we should all be on full lockdown as we should have been from January when it appeared in China, but oh no they let it in and they continued to mess about until Chaos

    So is the new strain going to be called the "British Flu"?

    apparently there’s a South African strain too.

    I think the base coding is just like the China virus so at best we could stretch to a China-UK virus.

    apparently the MHRA are to pass the Oxford vaccine in the next week or so. Combined with the Pfizer one we should get the Army Medical Corps engaged to ramp up massively the vaccinations. Over 300,000 in 2 weeks is good.. but with the new strain we need to be over 1,000,000 a week imho.
    The army, plus the reserves.. along with the NHS, doctors, care home workers, retired medical practitioners should be able to help that target.

    the tipping point in our favour is when the numbers vaccinated get over 30,000,000. Once well over this figure the heard immunity kicks in and the R number drops.

    I can't believe this 'new' strain has originated in this country and not any where else

    knowing every other country would treat you as lepers if you let the cat out of the bag
