The UK has reported another 55 cases of the ‘double mutant’ Covid-19 variant, first detected in India, while Belgium tracked down its first cases of the strain that scientists fear could be more resistant to vaccines. The latest figure, reported by Public Health England on Thursday, puts the total number of B.1.617 Covid-19 strain cases in the UK to 132, an increase from 77 reported a week ago.

Earlier this week, the UK added India to its travel ‘red list’ over the new coronavirus strain, which Health Secretary Matt Hancock described “a variant of concern.”

Make sure you duct tape all doors and windows and huddle in your basement the rest of your miserable lives, peasants.

If it evades the immune system then we have the choice of wearing hazmat suits daily now (and installing industrial showers adjacent to our entrances) or ignoring it.

“Evades the immune system”. What a joke.

[a fool in paradise]

Remember in the first decade of this century we were advised to buy trash bags and tape up our windows to protect against bio/chem warfare?

Is this double secret probation?

New ‘triple mutant’ Covid variant emerges in India as cases soar

[wildcard_redneck]

It won't be dangerous until it hits quadruple mutation!

What the heck, I live in Belgium, what is this crap?

[Mr. Jeeves]

The disease just wasn’t bad enough to justify the pre-planned lockdowns - so now they need to retroactively invent one that is.

If the international Left lets go of this round of restrictions, people will never let them do it again. They are all in.

“Evades the immune system”. What a joke.

Is this a technical or medical term? “Evade”.
Can we cite it for fleeing and eluding?

These variants are coming just in time to nix any hope of herd immunity. Convenient

They had meetings even to DECIDE to do this to us BEFORE Covid was even reported.

Their mock demo was over South American Pig Virus.

I was going to say triple mutant, but you’re probably right. Quadruple mutants are much more dangerous than triple mutants.

[riri]

If it evades the immune system doesn't that just mean it would kill everyone who contracts it?

I am seriously tired of this crap. This was a poorly thought out and executed bio attack. Do better, elites.

Our wonderful unelected president has probably rolled out the welcome mat to this new threat.

[Fai Mao]

What about double-dog-dare mutants?

[dfwgator]

They should be scooping up the bodies like in Soylent Green.

Do better, elites.

Wear a mask and no 4th of July, how's that for deep thinking.
