Whilst a couple of other European countries (Denmark, which may have been down to mink? & the Netherlands) have a small number of cases, the numbers have obviously been considerably more here.
Is the mutant version here down to mink too? or something else - anyone know?
Whilst out walking the mutt a couple of hours ago, met neighbour who's a NHS medic who assured me that the vaccine being rolled out does also protect against this mutant strain, which is at least something. [Post edited 20 Dec 2020 18:15]

i don't think anyone knows yet (or at least it's not public knowledge.
mutations can happen for many reasons, but can be totally random, a more successful mutation will then reproduce more quickly |  |

Now I keep reading about this so called new strain that is meant to be according to the figures 70% more transmittable , now if that is the case why is the r number not 70 instead of around the 1 | | | |

because the mutation happened here. that simple i guess. with the dna tracking they're using they will be able to narrow it down pretty precisely to a time and place. |  |

That would be 7000%.

My bad maths , a 70% more infectable virus would push the r number to 1.7 which it is not | | | |

Mutations are random and can happen anywhere, there is no reason to compare mutations in one place to another by the number of cases. For instance, before this latest strain most of the cases in the UK and around Europe were from a strain which originated in Spain in the summer.
The reason this one has taken off is simply because the mutations are beneficial. Everything is then played out via Darwinism.

Up to 70%.
The rise in CV-19 has happened with Tiers in place. It was expected R would fall.
It is estimated to be between 1.2 and. 1.4, with up to 0.4 of that being attributed to the new strain. |  | | |

Up to 70% so it’s guess work then | | | |

You have literally just posted this:
"Now I keep reading about this so called new strain that is meant to be according to the figures 70% more transmittable , now if that is the case why is the r number not 70 instead of around the 1"
and then dismissed people who work in the field as using guess work. |  |

No, it's an informed upper limit based on observable facts and modelling.

The strain from Spain came mainly on the plane. | |

Apparently they don't always! Really interesting prog on BBC R4 earlier this eve, 'Scientists in the Spotlight'. Jim Al-Khalili finds out how The Life Scientific has changed during the pandemic -

What's the point in posting rubbish like this?
There is a difference between informed estimation and guesswork and calling one the other really isn't helpful.

Is this now being regarded as different to the Danish variant?
Saying this morning that the spike is different...what are you instincts about efficacy of the vaccines in this regard? |  |
