Of course…that is what they want you to think…..this new variant may have the ability to infect more people, but from all accounts where it has been prevalent (and it has been recognised as such for ten days or so in South Africa)…it has proved to have only mild symptoms.

The Delta variant is still by far the more common variant…..and those who have been vaccinated….and maybe had the booster are better placed to be protected.
Yet there are still a number of people who have picked this up(?)….remember it is the flu season and flu is a potential killer too…..our immune systems have been allowed to rest by not being in contact with people…..so make what you will of that.
Flu and Covid symptoms are very very similar…..and isn’t it amazing that last year flu disappeared.

The ONS stats show that we are being misled.
