A troublesome new Covid variant sweeping Britain could send cases to an all-time high, experts fear.
As many as one in 16 people were infected in London in mid-December – making it England’s worst-hit region in the run-up to Christmas.
Virus rates doubled in less than a fortnight nationally following the sudden arrival of the ‘Juno’ strain.
Warnings that worse was to come were triggered because of the busy festive social calendar, with Brits en masse attending parties and mixing indoors with loved ones.
Now virologists have claimed that January’s freezing temperatures, which has seen snow fall in parts of London, and the return of schools will only add to skyrocketing infection rates.
They are never going to let up, are they? It’s winter. We get respiratory diseases in the winter. We call them colds and flu. It’s about time these fucktards grew up and got over themselves. No, I am not scared. I never was.
Right, and it’s took them a month to work it out? Why wasn’t it all over the news in Dec?
Apart from some stubbornly sheepish people, I think a lot of otherwise normally ‘obedient’ types are growing increasingly fed up with this clap-trap.
Are these clowns on some kind of temporary contract that won’t get renewed if it gets out that the Covid crisis is over? Hence they keep up this pretence in order to hang onto their cushy non jobs for as long as possible.
There was never a real crisis for such a mild virus (for most healthy people)
Like all single stranded RNA viruses it is genetically unstable and mutating into a head cold like all the rest. These people are scaremongering again.
