Folks, now is NOT the time to relax. Get the vaccine as soon as you can, be very wary of the next 2 months anyway, they're going to be hell on the ICU's. Maintain all precautions until a fortnight after you & everyone around you got the vaccine (and better, the booster jab too).

Folks, pardon me harping on this, but every day seems to mark a new milestone in why you all should be taking the new #LondonVariant very seriously indeed, & why it needs tough suppression.
This may be a storm petrel, it may not be at all. The new #LondonVariant may be just making its presence more widely known among those under 65 by sheer force of more transmission, higher R0, or it may point to something else. Very indistinct as yet.
This is very true. Is it the new #LondonVariant? Is it just governmental mismanagement, including defunding the NHS for years, plus MSM press idiocy & misinformation from the likes of @IsabelOakeshott & @allisonpearson? Something else? Or a combination?
The warning that @zeynep writes here is very true. It may yet turn out to be a false alarm. But taking no new action would be completely disasterous if it turns out to be a real problem.
