I’m don’t think it actually originated/mutated in the UK tbh ..

As from what I understand we were simply the first to identify it due to the extensive testing we’ve been doing in this country ( and go public with it ) .

It’s possibly been spreading all around the world for some time ..

Its not really the UK variant ~ its just that it was discovered here , so they don't really need any connection to the UK to have the mutation.

I can't believe there are still people who think the virus is not real.

I keep hearing that if you’re careful .. distance yourself, wash your hands regularly and don’t touch your face you’ll be fine ...

So are 60,000 people a DAY suddenly not doing the above ??

Default Coronavirus Outbreak

Sky News & The Observer & The Guardian


UK

46,000 hospital staff currently off sick with Covid !!



British Medical Association, Chaand Nagpaul, revealed the huge number of staff struck down with the virus. “There are over 46,000 hospital staff off sick with Covid-19,” he wrote, “heaping additional pressure on an already overstretched workforce struggling to manage even current critical care demand.”

Yes I know, but it’s called the UK variant, this appears to be the first time it has been identified without an identified UK source of infection


So not long for the SA variant to surface in the same way

Pre Christmas/Christmas mixing when the virus was on holiday because it was more important to buy that secret Santa pressie for a fiver and play scrabble with extended family on Christmas day than look after health

I’ve been right down in the dumps tonight after reading comments on social media by people who will not accept covid is real, nor abide by the rules...

(“**** the government, hospitals are empty, it’s a scamdemic, it’s the start of the great reset/new world order, all of Hollywood are in on it, I’m young and healthy, so **** the old or unhealthy, will I **** wear a mask”, blah blah ****ing blah)
This was the message Dave received from his sister, who’s a nurse, tonight.. I feel so bad for her and every single one of our healthcare workers tonight

Ach! The image is showing for me.. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong tbh.

Tbh I’m not awfully down about our situation.. I feel safe, I’ve got a roof over my head, food in the cupboard, and wine, bog roll and Netflix. We as a family have genuinely been through so much worse than being asked to stay cosy at home, but it hurts my soul a wee bit when I read ****e online as I said above.

Hope you’re safe, well and happy too 😊

Someone I work with thinks the virus is not real.
Let's see if he still thinks the same if he or someplace in his family gets sick

...Lee......it’s so heartbreaking to see how hopeless and broken some NHS workers are when they’ve worked so tirelessly throughout and yet the situation has still become what it is atm...it just feels so bleak...I’ve felt and said from the beginning that people aren’t all living the same virus, is the thing...it doesn’t help that we have a government that conflicts so much with its guidance either...

Yes Good Example Ammi
Although L.Fox is Nov 2020.

To be fair we need to know today what his view is.

In a statement, the force said all of
its fixed penalties issued during
the new national lockdown will be reviewed.]




["I said we had come in separate cars,
even parked two spaces away and
even brought our own drinks with us.
He said 'You can't do that as it's classed as a picnic'."
Ms Allen said the experience was "very intimidating"
and had left her feeling scared of police in general.]

On this Case the Heath Secretary M.Hancock
Live on Ridge (SkyNewsHD) backs the Police?

But these 2 women are away from people?
