To me it's inconceivable we're the only country that has the 'new strain'. Just seen a fairly convincing scientist interviewed who suggested that we're the among world leaders (only Denmark ahead) in identifying genomes so it's quite likely we've simply identified it earlier..................would potentially explain the increases already seen in other countries perhaps (large no of European countries still have higher - much higher in some cases - rates of infection than us).


Totally correct, the amount of aircraft leaving and arriving in the UK is mad..( check any flight app) we should have shut our borders as soon as we knew about Covid in MArch last year.

could explain sudden rise in cases in Germany who'd done so well to keep a lid on things.

Grant Shapps, I bet all those lorry drivers are really delighted with your Brexit planning that has worked so successfully.
Thanks for sharing that insight with us, it seems strange that none of the lorry drivers have said the same thing.

Patrick Vallance saying the tiered approach wasn't for him and that more restrictions are needed to keep the new strain at bay.

Possibly.

A scientist on 5live said in the last hour that at least 6 other countries have had the new variant for some time.

Numbers increasing along the south cost spread from the East.

Brighton and Hove doubled 3 weeks in a row. Now over 200/100K for first time.

All going to shit.
