LONDON (AP) — The British government on Wednesday extended its toughest coronavirus restrictions to three-quarters of England’s population, saying a fast-spreading new variant of the virus has reached most of the country.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the government’s top infection-warning level, Tier 4, would be expanded beyond London and the southeast to cover large swaths of central, northern and southwest England.

Under Tier 4, people are advised to stay home, mixing of households is prohibited, nonessential shops are shut and restaurants and bars can only offer takeout.

New strain may have faster spread but it very likely less lethal. In April the UK had 5,000 cases a day resulting in 943 deaths a day: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ Now they have 35,000 cases a day with about 500 deaths a day. Seven times as many cases and a little more than half the deaths.

Me: So I don’t understand why COVID is exploding when Britain is supposed to be one of those progressive examples of following “science”.

Science: Shut up, Kulak!
