Media reporting on COVID related seems to be very politicised so its very hard to work out what is actually going on
I was watching some commentary yesterday in which an 'expert' said that one of the normal ways that viruses mutate is they become simultaneously more infectious and less serious and then die out. So if this is true then the fact that new mutations are more infectious would seem to be consistent with this idea but we would the also expect it to be less serious.
Hope everyone is keeping healthy anyway

less serious, as in
"vaccines only lower the effect that SARS-Cov-2 has on you" = fewer hospital beds used = no lockdown,
but still lockdown numbers getting sick with covid 294,000 per last week (roughly J0hn, that's 42,000 yesterday if yer have to get everything perfect)... because since JULY 19 every 'average joe' stopped wearing masks! ...when simply wearing a mask could have curved it
almost out by now with herd immunity ...but no, the average person didn't even have the sense, or the knowledge and stopped wearing masks, even on busses / metros / shops that are asking
PLEASE CONTINUE TO WEAR A MASK and a good 70-80% hasn't been (so 20-30% sensible people)...so those who didn't practice mask-wearing since July 19th are partly to blame for the longer continuation of it, the larger numbers of sick that are ever growing!!!
so I'm not surprised theirs a new strain, there will be many more to come, because of what I've just said.
- simple as that! its ignorance in my book!
