New virus strain found in Australia for first time
By John Bowden - 12/21/20 09:14 AM EST

Health officials in Australia said Monday that they had confirmed two cases of a new strain of COVID-19 that spreads faster than its previous mutations.

Reuters reported that the chief health officer for New South Wales, Kerry Chant, confirmed six new cases of COVID-19 across the state on Monday, including two that were believed to be the new, fast-spreading strain that forced British authorities to shut down the Christmas shopping season this weekend.

Officials confirmed "a couple of U.K. returned travelers with the particular mutations,” Chant said, adding that no cases are thought to be circulating in the community.


“Everyone coming from the U.K. is going into 14 days of hotel quarantine and they are of no risk, as that quarantine works so successfully,” added Australia's acting top health official, Paul Kelly.

It's already gone around the world... so why bother stopping travel from the U.K.?  :pondering:

Big deal.  This won't be the last mutation.   It is what a virus does and always will do. 
Get a grip people the press/media/experts are not helping us.  They are cauusing more problems feeding the fear in the sheeple.
