As we move into 2021 it looks as though our "experts" and "scientists" who believe the media rather than the reality, just as Governments do, are yet again stumped by Covid19. It appears that the new "variant" coming from South Africa may not be susceptible to any vaccines yet discovered (strangely in about 5 minutes which, to many, implied cutting corners). Just as the FLU vaccine in 2017-2018 failed and allowed the virus to kill 50,000 in England and Wales alone in 3 months (about 4 times as many as Covid has killed in 12 months), so we may now be looking at Covid19 moving forward despite vaccines.

Oh really; when on earth will somebody, somewhere start thinking ahead?

Yep the virus will mutate; that's what they do. Mutations more often lessen lethality than increase it (a dead host is no good) so we may find that even if it is less receptive to the available vaccines it is less dangerous (even than existing strains).

But if the Gov don't change the logic behind how they respond to C19 and any new trivial emerging viruses, we are stuck with this shit forever....

The mutation is less dangerous?

So far, there's absolutely no evidence of that.

What is clear if that it's much more infectious.

Between 60% and 70% more!

As a result, our hospitals are nearing capacity.

Of course Covid will mutate and possibly become more dangerous.

Just as JK's fabled Influenza mutates into deadlier strains year after year

But it took 100 years to work out Flu vaccines.

It could be Mother Nature's way of getting rid of multi-millions on the planet as they are destroying the joint.

# not us lot of course. And most definitely not me at present.

Wyot didn't say that this mutation was less dangerous.
He said they TEND to become less lethal, because if they kill their host they cant reproduce, and this is true.

Oh, and the hospitals are filling up because some dickheads shut down the spare hospitals and didn't think to get staff ready. Not "because" of the virus.

Learn to read or stop pissing me about; whichever is the problem.

You put it so much better than I did.

Clearly not the case...

What are you talking about?
This article just tells us about the new mutant. (virus, not Whitty) It reinforces what I was saying, that the reason the hospitals are full is because dickheads put coronavirus patients in them instead of the Nightingales.

We HAD somewhere to treat all the excess patients. Now we haven't.
