Re: British Coronavirus
If what Boris says is true then the UK Virus is a pretty serious variant different to initial statements.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the country's new variant of COVID-19 may carry a greater risk of death.
Mr Johnson said the impact of the new variant, which is already known to be more transmissible, was putting the National Health Service (NHS) under "intense pressure".
However, the Prime Minister said current evidence showed both vaccines remained effective against old and new variants.

There have been some of the UK Strain identified in the people arriving for the Australian Tennis Open, fortunately it hasn't got out of hotel quarantine yet.
Personally I think it was a daft risk to allow people in for a tennis match when there are 38000 Australians trying to get home. It is a bit of an insult.
Now there is a shortage of vaccine due to production delays, not much good news on the Covid front is there?
