The decision to release the facts about the new strain was spot on ,why do you hype up everything ?

If they re!eased the data to early the new strain may well have died off or mutated into a not so bad form ,in this case the info was released at the right time and things changed .would you rather the gov did nothing ?

Viri mutate all the time ,they (scientists) have been watching this strain about a month when it was noticed it was becoming the dominant strain they informed the  health ministry who told the gov ,who reacted as you see

Nothing better to say ?,no better headlines ,no opinion and hearsay to spout ,just some childish picture

On reflection, a 5-year-olds opinion picture is probably well suited to your intellect ,may be a few years above yours though

“Mathematicians have been running the numbers on the spread of different variants in an attempt to calculate how much of an edge this one might have. 

But teasing apart what is due to people's behaviour and what is due to the virus is hard.

The figure mentioned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson was that the variant may be up to 70% more transmissible. He said this may be increasing the R number - which indicates if an epidemic is growing or shrinking - by 0.4. 

That 70% number appeared in a presentation by Dr Erik Volz, from Imperial College London, on Friday December 18th.

During the talk he said: "It is really too early to tell… but from what we see so far it is growing very quickly, it is growing faster than [a previous variant] ever grew, but it is important to keep an eye on this."

There is no "nailed on" figure for how much more infectious the variant may be. Scientists, whose work is not yet public, have told me figures both much higher and much lower than 70%. 

But there remain questions about whether it is any more infectious at all. 

"The amount of evidence in the public domain is woefully inadequate to draw strong or firm opinions on whether the virus has truly increased transmission," said Prof Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham.”

Pointless giving facts ,cod just sees what cod needs to whine about ,generally boris  and the tory party.

He seems to have this childish theory the government run the country ignoring the fact the various ministries actually do that and the governments only role is to try and fund them and ask nicely if they will do something to earn their keep

I agree, but others might read and realise we are not all as thick as him.

More childish other peoples pictures ,nothing to say of any interest from you?

Despite repeating "the government do not run the country" over and over to hopefully get it in your thick head you still do not understand how the system runs
