Jailed for what?

If the family are British citizens and have quarantined since they got back and not spread it to anyone else then the system is working surely?

for not closing borders, only had about 12 months.

Sending the media into a frenzy as expected

SKY can’t contain their excitement

Quick stick a "country label" on it.

I’m not sure that’s a criminal offence.

The government cannot control our borders to save it's life but why are people from Brazil coming here? I don't understand how and why people are still travelling around.

In the US there is a UK variant. I saw it on NBC once.

It's all the same surely. It's a bit Xenophobic.

I just hope the vaccines that are out can deal with this new more contagious strain.

They haven't though......

 

[Digsys dinner]

So the Vaccine works against this strain, along with the other strains!

seriously the media have been awful throughout all this

 

[harmy]

One of them can’t be located that is wat the issue is.

Thankfully it's not really anything to worry about. Not that the media will tell you that

It's all because of the reaction abroad when we naively flagged the Kent variant as "one of our own".

 

[Be Here Now]

Today we've seen UK hit 20million vaccines given so far
Cases and deaths drop to lowest figures in months
Roadmap giving his possible dates we can go back to parts of normal life again

Media focus on the six cases instead

So because they saw us label a strain as one of our own they also thought about naming a strain after us? Bit purile.
