            The Hill: Surgeon General Nominee Says More Contagious Viral Strain In UK Does Not Appear To Be Deadlier Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, whom President-elect Joe Biden has nominated to return to the position, said Sunday that a new, more contagious coronavirus strain reported in the U.K. does not appear to be any deadlier. “This news from the U.K. appears to be about a new strain of the virus that’s more transmissible, more contagious than the virus we’ve seen prior to this,” Murthy said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “While it seems to be more transmissible, we do not have evidence yet that this is a more deadly virus to an individual who acquires it.” (Budryk, 12/20)

              right but this isn't what I was talking about... we know the UK strain isn't more deadly, just more transmissible, which is fucking terrifying all on its own.

                        South African doctors say their patients are younger and do not always have other conditions that amplify the virus' effect, but are nonetheless suffering from more severe forms of Covid-19.

                        https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9083081/South-Africas-second-wave-driven-mutant-Covid-19-strain.html

                        it appears to be both more transmissible and more impacting to young people. it's basically the worst case scenario.

                        and there's no word on whether the vaccine will still work 🙃🙃🙃

    Wtf? Really? All I've heard for weeks now is there's some new hyper-contagious strain of coronavirus in the UK and they're picking now to reopen schools? What the hell could possibly be the justification?

    Oh fuck our dumb government wants to do the same. Most prominent politicians got vaccinated so I guess they don't care as much any more lol

    Worst part is seeing support for the tories unwaver because the press are still on their side. It's so disheartening.

    Same in Ireland, even as we are hitting our highest peaks of cases. I would say fuck neoliberals, but they don't deserve sex
