Unbelievable the crap these guys are allowed to sprout unchallenged.
So many people are absolutely buying into the continuing fear campaign BS.
We are a dumb bunch here in Aus nowadays.
Not really.
Yes the B117 variant
is more highly contagious.
So why hasn’t it easily spread in Australia?
A couple of reasons. Workers in high risk jobs were maintaining social distancing aware of their higher risk probably. Good contact tracing and quick testing.
Hotter weather also means less chance of spread. But the answer isn’t to look the other way and let it spread just because it’s warm, as a latent amount of virus in the community could explode by winter, and whilst the vaccine is on the way the program won’t be completed by October.
So you can see the logic in stopping this variant (or any variant really) not being allowed to spread around even at a low level now.
