Is an even MORE infectious strain of Delta now taking off in Britain? Almost 10% of new cases in the UK are down to specific variant as data shows proportion has DOUBLED in a month (AY.4.2}

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.

What a beaut!

Could be …..

may be…

Thought to be…

estimate…

Wow! That’s some real settled science for you right there.

Getting the fear porn going based on pure conjecture.

It is going to mutate and become more contagious....but when it does it also becomes weaker. It is a well known phenomenon called Muller’s ratchet.

I think that’s the normal course of things, but who knows with the experimental shots thrown in the mix.

said, "They have nothing to worry about, they have one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. These stats can not be true. No little COVID thingee can penetrate their great vaccination shield. (/s)"

I believe Madagascar has the least number of people injected and the lowest number of covid cases in the world.
Madagascar uses artemisinin(drug that fights malaria) to treat covid. Covid is Plasmodium Yoelii (spike antigen that is a parasite. carries malaria) and Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) (carries HIV)
Population 0.7% injected with next to zero cases of covid

I'm good... This provides more protection then the jab or the mask combined...

Time for another shot, every day, without fail! Evil Bill Gates does not yet own 30% of the farmland in the US and UK, KEEP GETING THE VAXXXXXXX! Bill and his mentor, satan, NEED YOU TO KEEP GETTING JABBED!

Nice, you win. :)

And the daily covid death rate for the UK (dying from COVID, dying with Covid, etc.) is still only about 100 deaths per day. This is for a population of 67,000,000.

Curing the CCP flu and ending the pandemic is NOT the goal of all his.

[hsmomx3]

LOL!!!

And just like the flu, there are a variety of strains.

Keep taking vitamins and minerals!!

Ivermectin taken prophylactically and daily D3 with zinc and C should keep one pretty well insulated from the Chinese and any other Flu.
