COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Yes all this praising the UK citizens needs to be tempered with the but we will get there much quicker if the fuck wits stop disregarding the rules.

Correct..

Yeah, it’s definitely coming our way. The strain is already up north, it’s just in the early days of spreading. You can see below how every region is now on an upward curve. London and the South East are just further along. Around 3 weeks ahead.

Its unbelievable how it dipped,then shot up so extremely.

Can anyone confirm that the virus has already had around 4,000 mutations / strains already and this is just another one. Maybe if people decided to socially distance, wear masks, wash hands etc then maybe. just maybe the virus wouldn't be so contagious. Just a thought after nine months of watching people behave like utter cockwombles

 

[kippax4ever]

if it wasn't for the media the NHS would have collapsed by now

I dont no how you come to that conclusion.mate.
When clapping for the NHS,
There were illegal raves going on around the country with thousands in attendance,besides other fkwitts disregarded the rules.

There have been hundreds of mutations, exactly how many I have no idea.
A single point mutation is rarely significant, but this new one has 17, and the concern was that several are in the spike protein which the three vaccines to date are focussed on.

You can't translate two curves horizontally if they have different growth functions, and make any reasonable conclusions. The London/South East populations are growing with a different exponent than the North West. We used to do this with UK, Italy, Spain etc but that was like with like. It's no longer like with like.

The London curve is frightening. You can see in the London curve for example that they went from 200/100k to 400/100k in less than 6 days which is why it's so important to confirm that the vaccines are still effective.

Boris Johnson said that the UK would not alter its vaccine strategy. They might think again. Can you ignore a cluster on the edge of London without changing vaccination strategy? Perhaps it depends on the success of Tier 4 in containing growth

I think that if/when the Oxford vaccine is approved they will maintain the national plan regarding ages and risk profile but there could be additional vaccination in this area?

updated those to "today" for you;

Not yet confirmed but hopefully this will be the case. Article states it will take around 2 weeks for BioNTech to get the data required in order to confirm this.

Later in Jan the expert on BBC just said

London and Essex and Sussex:

Politically, that may prove a tad unpopular.
