I read that the "new strain" could be more prevalent in the upper respiratory tract (as opposed to down in the lungs), and hence more of the viral payload goes out during coughing/exhalation.

However, it is too soon to draw any firm conclusions, and no reason for now to believe it's more infectious, more dangerous or won't respond to vaccines.

Media also have something new to get their teeth into and frighten people with before the full facts are known.

Obviously scotland wales & northern ireland dont matter .

Only 58,000 out of the 66 million who died having had it .

According to one of my customers yesterday it has now reached the stage where every death is being recorded as a Covid death.

I queried when exactly doctors had become so lazy and unprofessional and whether someone run over and killed by a bus would go down as a Covid death. Customer confirmed it would.

Another one tomorrow at the same time.

That may be an exaggeration. But having been in hospital a few weeks, has to lie flat on his back, was excited to go for a ride for 2 scans yesterday. That's how bored he is.

The last one was 'working', they should have extended it if they thought there was a chance of Xmas being cancelled.

A proper lockdown would require a working track and trace.
