Another day, another variant

[mitch_at_merseyside]

This time in Yorkshire.

The 'double mutant' from the Indian variant wasn't scary enough, so now it's a 'triple mutation'.

I can't see the public buying this sh*t anymore. Have you ever noticed that after there has been good news i.e. an approved vaccine, lifting of restrictions, milestones in vaccinations/low deaths/cases, positive vaccine efficacy stats, out pops another variant?

There must be thousands of them out there, and are we the only country in the world that is 'reporting' them as if it's a whole new virus that will undo all the work of the vaccines and kill thousands more people? The media, and in particular the BBC, have got a lot to answer for in trying to scare people.

we have the best labs and test the most samples. i did see a list a while back where we had sequenced over 200k samples, some other countries had done 0.

this variant will now be known as the "ey up cup o tea" variant

sky news are the worst its almost like they are looking forward to the next varient!!!!!!

 

[ForssAwakens]

A variant is a variant, if you are choosing to be scared by them that’s on you.

if a mutation happens it changes how the virus can perform. Ultimately that is just a fact. The fact is sooner or later a variant is going to pop up that the vaccine doesn’t protect against

They are reporting news, these things are happening and thats a fact. We cant just not report it because it will scare people or people dont want to hear about it.
The longer we take to vaccinate the majority of the world, the more chance other variants will continue to be created

Have they created a dramatic logo and music to go with it like they did with the recession a few years ago? Now that was pathetic

Only a concern if vaccines are not effective against any new variant.
And no doubt there will be many more.

It's almost like the BBC might want to bury some news.

Exactly. It's clear now this virus mutates a lot. So far we haven't come across a variant that has been known to be serious deadly in vaccinated people. We are close to the "live with it" stage now

 

[BoroMart]

It's a novel virus, it's has masses of mutation potential, this is the new norm

Eh?


I tried clicking on "Change your nation" but there didn't appear to be a "become a democratic republic" option...

BBC acting as a mouth piece for the conservative status quo again by giving the royal family direct and unregulated access to spout their propaganda.

The whole idea that it was the BBC that put stress on Diana-Charles marriage on not his persistent infidelity stretches credulity.

It’s ok because Heathrow are creating a dedicated area for flights in from red list countries, that’s a great bit of strategic thinking - wayhay we’re all saved

How can you tell if you've got the Yorkshire variant?

Don't worry, it'll tell you.

Charles behaviour certainly created stress but you've missed the point about what she was told by Bashir.
