And if they vote to leave they will go, not like Taiwan or the Basques in Spain....the U.K. is great isn’t it....

A nation that rewards a man who killed 127,000 people is not great.

This is a nation controlled by kleptocrats and murderers.

As opposed to countries with actual policies of murder and genocide.....

This is an opportune moment to recommend this fantastic documentary on the exploitation of the Sherpas by fat cat Everest expedition slave drivers.

U.K. really need to keep an eye and surpress the Indian variant (B.1617.2).

I think the guy who posted this is an arsehole....why didn’t he go further and mention swimmers with oxygen tanks etc etc etc. This is ‘oh look at me‘ and pointing out a minute use of oxygen while the world has gazillions of tons of the stuff that’s not going to India and the like.....I wonder how much oxygen was used on his flight over there....

Some interesting data on case incidence, geographical spread and proportion of B16172 by PHE.

Nepal is a mountain region Pete, I doubt they do much deep-sea diving.

This chart shows how quickly cases of each of the variants have increased from time of first detection in England. The rapidness of B.1.617.2 is evident.

The pale blue line tracking the S Africa rise is B.1.617.1, its slower sibling.

 

[Neiler]

In terms of proportion of all sequenced cases, in the most recent week B.1.617.2 was a whopping 7.3% of all sequenced cases - far outstripping all the other variants. B117 ("Kent") (not shown) is still dominant but losing ground to B.1.617.2.

Is this not normal though? One variant replacing another.
