Albert Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So it's seeming like the discussions around a more infectious strain are gaining legs. The talk here was that the one that caused the recent outbreak in Adelaide was this strain from the UK. It's the risk of 'letting it burn', each infection is a chance at mutations, and if this is indeed more infectious, the UK may need to just end up locking down until this is over. Let's hope they can ramp up production of that vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be why nobody seems that bothered by it other than how infectious it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's less about aim, more about what gets it to spread more, as that means it makes up a greater fraction of the current population, and hence spreads more. There's no evidence to suggest this strain is less deadly either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Every few months I venture into twitter land to see what's happening with public perception . Some proper dicks on there . Hers a sample from one minute of reading . We did out bit to protect the NHS yet they are letting down those who stood and clapped dreadfully! The vaccine is a chip, a microchip in injection form to get all data about you and put a tracker on you. Stay away from it. They didn't even try to hide it. It's all a government plan to take control of our minds and build a society where we are like mindless servants to them. The government have even said it changes nothing Do you trust the vaccine as many say it's a way to inject a chip in u so the special secret government can keep tag on u!!!.

So there you have it - it's all the fault of those people who clapped dreadfully. The first thing any future government needs to do at the onset of a pandemic is to introduce applause lessons.
