Don't worry, Johnson's world beating track and trace system will save the day! Oh, wait a minute.

*In summary, NERVTAG has moderate confidence that VUI-202012/01 demonstrates a substantial increase in transmissibility compared to other variants.*
How does moderate confidence, equate or reach that magic 70%?
Define, quantify the term moderate confidence, Boris Johnson Government collectively/in unison bottoms went rouge, all went “headless”, and the aftermath, that the smelly stuff going Global.
The media and Governments have followed suit as panic stricken paranoia took hold and isolated an entire Country/economy
Johnson, Handcock , Shapps, in a matter of hours have shut the Country down.

If three months out of date.
However the public need to know, and act on their own reconnaissance.

The massive increase in infections have shown this confidence to be quite well-placed, with large numbers of infections in the south east of England, largely carrying the new strain.

This is just a taster of what Brexit will be like.
But at least we will have our fish. Our rotting fish.

Britain trying to aware the world the Brexit is finally happening real so that what deals they can make with each other or maybe Britain want the world to tell them to stop the Brexit and remain EU in the last minute.

Ah_so,
Businesses need tad more that wild guesses, moderate confidence is just a comma short of a wild guess.
Business in the UK with manufacturing subsidiaries located outside the UK, will move that hardware resource.
That will mean furlough, if not redundancy.
Give the Brexit propaganda a day off, peoples livelihoods are at stake, EU citizens none the less.

This UK's new mutated Covid variant seems to be formidable, untouchable by any vaccine available so far. Utterly discomforting..

@venze.
There is no evidence to suggest the vaccine is ineffective on this new mutation and we won’t know for sure for another 10-14 days.

Now Boris can beg the EU for assistance, without being a part of it. No deal Brexit just got a whole lot worse.

Britain is so arrogance in Brexit, and now they seek EU for helps..The British always forgot they are already a past tense, nobody need their help, but instead they need the assistance from the whole world

Even if it's not more lethal, more infections still translates to more deaths

If you read the comments in the sun there are so many who think it's great as it will stop immigration
Unbelievable. See how smug they are in a few weeks as the have no fruit

when the expert asking for wearing a mask and a complete lockdown, people are crying it is our FREEDOM to wear a mask or not, it is our FREEDOM to party, it is our borne HUMAN RIGHT to move around as we wish..now it doesnt take a genius to predict what will happen next

Local authorities are will require self isolation.

This virus can be eradicated in a month in some area of the US, but American are to ignorant to do so
Desert Tortoise
Everything I have read so far states that the particular mutation does not reduce the effectiveness of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccins.
