The new variant came from France 14:57 - Dec 30 with 1563 viewsGeoffSentence

Or so I have been told by a very peccable source, my pig-ignorant, ill-informed, daily mail fuelled, jonny-foreigner blaming parents in-law.

Anyone else heard this? Is there any substance at all behind such a claim? So far as I could work out from my 'source' the claim seemed be based on nothing more than it appearing in Kent first and Kent being next to France.

I thought this new strain was first spotted in Scandinavia (Denmark?) a few weeks back?

P.S. I appreciate this doesn't help with the Johnny Foreigner argument...

Different strain wasn't it?

Ah, possibly have my wires crossed in that case. All this virus chat is just too much to keep up with! I save it for the boffins of the board :)

That was what some sources originally said but I believe they were confused with the mink strain.

It seems pretty conclusive from genetic analysis that this strain is likely from mutations that occurred in the UK.

Indeed and unsurprisingly we are seeing very close cousins of this mutation in every country now. One was picked up in rural Idaho were the patient has never traveled out of state.

It would have escaped everywhere before the travel ban were implemented. They might have not luck slowing the SA variant but the UK is just too interconnected globally.

The US case (I posted it earlier) must be a secondary transmission which means it's too late to stop it moving across the US pretty swiftly.

It's really not good.

They are alright in themselves, but I abhor their political views and most especially that they accept anything that fits in with their xenophobic world view, without question.

That would surely make it the Sweyn Forkbeard Foreigner argument though.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Heard earlier a report that they have identified someone as having the new variant from November. But that is different from the new variant starting in France.

But your in laws may have assumed it does, given that we never announced the new variant until after that.

At least you could see that coming.
