"We’re told the new variant is spreading faster but what does that really mean, Ie In what context should we understand velocity? If it required 15mins exposure before is it now 10mins? If the incubation period was 5 days is it now 2? If we were moderately safe at 2m separation is it now 3m? " I don't think anyone knows the answers yet. We think it is more virrulent because of the number of people that are catching this mutation as far as i am aware no one knows why yet. | |||

It could be down to human behaviour rather than any thing in the mutation. We still don't know for certain why the spanish mutation flared up, human behaviours seem to have got the blame. My feeling is that is a combination of virus and human behaviour. | |||

"It does beg the question given the cases are rising in the tier 2 areas next to tier 4 when the decision will be taken to put all in the latter.." If it is as bad as they are making out...you would think its inevitable we are going into a while lockdown. So surely they should be making announcements now one when it will be to give us all some clarity. | |||

"During the first lockdown the store i work in limited customers to 100 at a time, then when 100 was reached we worked one out one in; if their was a queue then there was a queue (to quote the merecat ) simples !! Now it is a free for all, and when you ask management it is 'so people don't have to queue in the cold and wet' I don't work in a food retailer and most of the stuff we sell is far from essential so this new strain if it is more communicable is going to spread if all companies are adopting this attitude. Staff have to work in this environment and so no doubt the spread is inevitable !" Numbers and queuing system down here. | |||

"We don't know too much about this variant, it just may be super-effective at invading cells, potentially needing a lower level of virus to gain an effective infection. The virus is monitored globally for the specific variants and mutations, with Germany particularly well placed to identify the activity and virus progression there, including via outstanding university hospitals and labs. I think there was probably a little greater emphasis on how terrible this new variant was, to help to justify the emergency measures that the hare-brained 1 needed to take after parliament had shut up shop for the holidays." Entirely possible but if he's over egged it he will be toast within the tory party and heartlands.. Maybe it's his way out.. | |||
