’Emerging evidence’ that new UK virus strain is more deadly, Boris Johnson announces

NERVTAG said while there was likely an increased risk of death compared to the original virus, “it should be noted that the absolute risk of death per infection remains low”.Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he would not toughen lockdown measures in response to the new mortality information but flagged extra border controls over concern about variants first detected in South Africa and Brazil.

“It’s very difficult to compare between laboratories on this data and we need to get more clinical information to understand how much of an effect, if any, there is on the vaccine, but they are definitely of more concern than the one in the UK at the moment.”Between 44 and 71 cases of the South African variant have already been found in the UK.

Johnson said arrivals from South Africa had already been banned from December 24 and all other travellers must produce a negative test and self-quarantine upon arrival.“We may need to go further to protect our borders because we do not want, after all the effort we are going to in this country, the massive success that the NHS and others are vaccinating ... put at risk by having a new variant come back in.

BevanShields This 'new evidence' doesn't get Bonkers Boris off the hook. His handling of Covid on the UK has been Trump level awful, from 'let's take it on the chin' pre first wave to handing out vouchers encouraging people out to restaurants when cases levels were still dangerously high.

BevanShields 'might be'! It's all fearmongering and manipulation. This has to stop: there's a huge transfer of assets from small firms to large as. Lockdown shuts down businesses & families Shield those who need it, isolate the sick, do actual science, and get life back to normal COVID19

BevanShields That is not the case, no empirical evidence

BevanShields Is this some sort of horror/ disaster movie plot ?

BevanShields Yeah, really? And if you survive the first bout are you necessarily immune from its return or a mutated strain?

BevanShields What's the probability of 'may'?

BevanShields Lol....'emerging evidence' ... sure there is.

BevanShields And for some positive news: We survived the Black Plague, we can serve this

BevanShields Letting an already deadly virus run rampant in pursuit of herd immunity, as Boris undeniably did, is like adopting a lion cub because it’s small and manageable and might keep the rats down. He owns this.

BevanShields I'm sure he now regrets his initial stance of brushing off this illness and its impact

BevanShields Is it evidence or is it not? Click bait journalism

BevanShields Australia is very lucky that the Labor states did so well protecting their public

UK businesses concerned Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown will be too slow | Sky News AustraliaMany United Kingdom residents are concerned Boris Johnson’s cautious roadmap to recovery will be too slow to save their businesses. \n\nThis comes as the Johnson government initiates steps to move the nation out of lockdown following the success of the COVID-19 vaccination rollout.\n\nThe roadmap offers businesses a rough timetable for when they might return to normal, but by that time retail and hospitality businesses will have been closed for a month longer than the first lockdown.\n\nThe government hopes the pain experienced by businesses in the months ahead is a price worth paying to ensure there are no further economic shutdowns. \n I well remember the Winter of Discontent as it was my first year in employment. The way Globalist puppet Piffle's going he's going to have a Summer of Discontent. It's only the furlough scheme that's keeping many quiet & stopping them from waking up. GreatReset WEF
