A subvariant of the Covid Delta strain could be more infectious than its ancestor, experts warned today after data revealed the proportion of cases linked to the strain has doubled in a month.
AY.4.2, as it is currently known to scientists, made up almost 10 per cent of all infections in England in the fortnight ending October 9. Virus-trackers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, which sequences thousands of Covid samples every week, say its prevalence stood at just four per cent in mid-September.
Academics estimate it may be up to 15 per cent more transmissible than the original Delta, which rapidly became dominant in Britain in the spring before taking off worldwide.
It has been detected in almost every part of the country, figures show, and it's thought to be behind almost 60 per cent of positive tests sampled sequenced in Adur, West Sussex.
No10 today said it was 'keeping a very close eye' on AY.4.2 but insisted there is 'no evidence' that it spreads easier. Boris Johnson's official spokesperson also warned the Government 'won't hesitate to take action if necessary'.
The warning comes as Covid cases continue to spiral across the UK, with daily infections yesterday shooting up to almost 50,000 in a three-month high.

The Covid graph for new cases in the UK doesn’t look like the graph of any other country that I’ve seen. Most countries show a wave-like pattern, with distinct ups and downs. But in the UK, after the post-vaccine decline, there was a new spike followed by ongoing high levels with slight ups and downs, kind like a mountain range.
Don’t stuff that turkey and Xmas goose just yet, kiddies!
I’m sorry but anymore, unless people lay dead in the streets I just don’t care. I don’t care about the numbers the cases the variants. I will NEVER get the not-vaccine. Perhaps that’s a mistake but it’s my choice. I’m not infecting anyone. Leave me alone. Make me get the shot and I’ll stand firm. Im so sick of these fascists and extremely dumb people. It’s all a LIE!!!
Runes are good.
Bring out your dead, Bring out your dead...
More infectious does not mean the same as more deadly.
Right.
So they took samples and analyzed the RNA (viruses are RNA) and determined there was new edition of COVID-19D or are they pulling it out their asses?
:)
[I could’ve picked Ogham, but...]
:D
All unnecessary.
All to promote the takeover by marxism.
So many of them that wikipedo made them their own page; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variants_of_SARS-CoV-2
Let me know when the Bubba variant starts hitting hillbillies.
New “highly infectious” strains are coming out almost as fast as pfizer is cranking out vaccines. Almost makes you wonder if pfizer is behind the new strains.
You have to multiply by 100 to finish the calculation. Seriously.
138,379/66,220,000 x 100 = .2 percent national fatality percentage (infected and uninfected)
Ivermectin shields the receptor against EVERY new, mutated, or bio-engineered spike protein.
Yet, Big Brother, Big Media, and Big Pharma don’t want the citizenry to have access to it.
Wait until we get to the Omega Variant, then it will be Armageddon.....we still have a ways to go if we are only on the Delta Subvariants...
Well...the Brits have experiences in pandemics. And they have the proper responses.
They force the whole family into their houses and nail the doors shut. When it gets quiet, they then send in a mortician to see if the whole works are dead yet. If not, get out and nail the door shut again till the job is done properly.
The plague 1348.
BTW, that plague resulted in a peasants revolt. The nobility found out they didnt have enough WORKERS to do the work on their property. Vast shortages occurred and the wage demand went sky high.
Funny how history repeats hey?
So, ….are deaths rising? Or are we not allowed to ask?
As if on cue…..
How exactly do they determine that the culprit is a variant besides the highest food chain officials saying it?
