She hasn't been visiting friends or hanging out in a crowd. There was a similar story about a friend of a friend who again contracted it after hardly any contact yet they have the new strain. This was after going to have a flu shot at the GPs. A 2 minute in-out job and the only possible source of contact. So be careful out there. This is why the NHS is straining. A lot of the staff are getting sick too so that is adding to the strain. I've been seeing ambulances everywhere including a lot of private ones. I guess the NHS ones are full of patients that cannot get in the door. This new strain is extremely contagious. There must be an awful lot going on behind the scenes which we are not hearing about because it's being drowned out by the other headlines.

Re: Covid new strain.
In my opinion, one of the biggest reasons why I believe the virus keeps on spreading is that people a) those that wear a mask do not wear it properly and b) they touch things out in public and do not use hand sanitiser before they touch stuff and do not immediately wash their hands when they get back home.Regarding masks, it's beggars belief the amount of people I see wearing a mask but is only covering their mouth. Medical experts have been stating and keep on stating that the quickest way to catch the virus is via the nose hence why when wearing a mask is should cover both the mouth and nose and be a snug fit to the face.

Also wasn't he wasn't wearing a face covering when these people were "too close together" when he was getting his jab and otherwise practising good hygiene and other personal measures in order to minimise his personal risk?
Having had the vaccine might have increased his risk a little but neither you nor anybody else can state with any degree of certainty where his infection originated.
It's hypocritical of you to deny the probability of where the new strain originated when you're quick here to suggest a less-likely possibility as being the definite cause for infection.
This "guy" could have been exposed to the virus anywhere, from food packaging within his own home up to and including on his journey to and from receiving the vaccine.
You do not know where he was exposed to the virus so don't say that "the flu jab did give him covid" because that simply is not true.

You.
Just a few posts above mine earlier.
