The initial reports I read stated that they had no reason to think the mutation would affect the vaccine, but that was made with no details given.

UK isolated to prevent spread of mutant coronavirus strain

Why should we think that this is the result a new strain, rather than the expected outcome of Tory “herd immunity” efforts? Oh well, good thing they got all those billions for the NHS.

I’m half serious about this: do we know that the strain is more contagious, or is it simply that there are lots of strains, this is the prevalent strain in the UK, and also the UK is experiencing a huge infection spike and people are making a correlation?
