Awww shit. Ain't really a massive surprise though I guess... they're shutting every damn thing again now we're ground zero for this new variant. -
OP is an idiot. Just embed the tweet from Benson and not your own garbage videos of Hearn’s pic over Patrick Day’s death...Comment

People who can't work from home can still go to work but otherwise basically anything non-essential shut down. Still waiting to hear on what's gonna happen with the schools where I am but this new strain apparently spreads a lot more easily and seems to have the govt a little spooked.
The Sun ain't my usual rag of choice but they do striking graphics I guess. Worth bearing in mind that whilst the US might have got a lot of flack for their handling of the virus, we actually had more deaths per capita over here, though of course we're a lot more densely populated too.
Using slightly different data, the relative reproduction number ("multiplicative advantage") was determined to be 1.74, thus showing that the variant may be 74% more transmissible. The variant became the dominant strain in London, East of England and the South East from low levels in one to two months.[25] A surge of covid-19 infections around the start of the new year is seen as being the result of the elevated transmissibility of the variant.[26] It requires tougher restrictions to avoid fast exponential growth of a virus which is this transmissible
74% more transmissable is quite a big deal. they reckon it's been spreading even under the normal lockdown lite rules we'd had previously.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 01-03-2021, 11:57 AM.Comment
