The UK and California variants of coronavirus appear to have combined into a heavily mutated hybrid, sparking concern that we may be entering a new phase of the covid-19 pandemic
That was such an obvious move. I naively, as usual, thought they would do a strict, 1-month lockdown, paying people to stay at home, and kick the thing right away, so we could get back to normal. I think a lot of people sort of thought thats what what was happening when we did the big lockdown in April. Then a month later, people were like "OK, we did the 1 month, back to normal now?" But half the population wasn't locking down. The government made no effort to help people stay at home without work, rent, mortgages, etc. Of course, our leadership was actively undermining efforts to deal with the pandemic. So I knew it was going to get bad.
