Apparently they stopped flights coming into the uk from SA on the 24th December ...

with just a little amount of the New South African Variant Covid-19
to get infected

Says who !?

It’s swept through SA rapidly and was THE dominant strain / variant within a matter of weeks ... quite frankly it sounds horrendous given it’s so virulent .


I don’t pretend to understand the intricacies of this virus but the SA guy on Sky News just then mentioned something about it being somewhat different as the vaccines that are available concentrate on a protein strand or something but the SA isn’t targeting the same area so companies will have to produce vaccines covering a ‘wider base’ ... his words not mine ..

Hopefully somebody else can explain things better than I can .

Now this was the headline a few months ago .. I really hope that they’re going to be far more careful this time round ..
