Surgeon general nominee says more contagious viral strain in UK does not appear to be deadlier
By Zack Budryk - 12/20/20 10:40 AM EST

Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, whom President-elect Joe Biden has nominated to return to the position, said Sunday that a new, more contagious coronavirus strain reported in the U.K. does not appear to be any deadlier.

“This news from the U.K. appears to be about a new strain of the virus that’s more transmissible, more contagious than the virus we’ve seen prior to this,” Murthy said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “While it seems to be more transmissible, we do not have evidence yet that this is a more deadly virus to an individual who acquires it.”

He added that there is also no evidence coronavirus vaccines would be any less effective against the new strain.

“The bottom line is if you're at home and you're hearing this news, it does not change what we do in terms of precautions as individuals that can reduce the spread of this virus,” he added. “It turns out that masking, that keeping physical distance, washing our hands - these are still the pillars of preventing COVID transmission.”

This is a smart virus.  It realized early on that if it was to survive it had to stop killing the host.  So like any good virus it mutated to be less deadly.  Pretty soon it will be as common as a cold. No vaccine needed.

So, the week after vaccines became available for the current plague, a new one pops up to create a new panic, and refresh the tyranny of the shutdowns and masks.  I guess it was determined the previous effort to destroy the nation was inadequate.

Color me surprised.

I'm not at all surprised, the announcement of this "new strain" was a reason to again lock people down, control the population and frighten people into submission.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

this is only the beginning of the tyranny they will impose upon all of us.

UK - WALES SHUTDOWN TIER 4
"Emerging scientific evidence suggests the new variant -- which Hancock said has also appeared in Australia and continental Europe -- can spread significantly more quickly than previous strains in circulation and is behind the surge in infections in recent days."

There is a massive surge in southern/west England.  It is massive in southern Wales.  There are no hospital beds in Wales.  This is due to the new variant.  No one can leave London.  No one can leave Wales.

These countries will not allow flights from the UK to land: "Kuwait, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Israel, Belgium, Sweden, France, Ireland, Austria".

My family lives in southern Wales.  They cannot leave their house except for groceries/doctor/physical exercise.  (It is also too cold to stay out and exercise.)  They bought an indoor exercise bike. They have groceries delivered to the house twice a week.  Both of them have good jobs and work from home. They are lucky as so many cannot do that.

And.....I would certainly not be surprised at all if Fauci knew exactly how/who/where/when it got here.
