Anyone who thinks the CMO and NERVTAG are lying when they say they think it can spread more quickly is a conspiraloon.

Christmas is going to do us.
Ach, they just involve a friend coming from a different part of London and staying for a couple of nights so it's not like they're elaborate or anything. (She had been hoping she'd be able to go and visit her family in Sweden/Denmark but has finally conceded that's not going to happen.

The bit about 50% more contagious is from an unnamed source rather than Whittys statement. When the Mirror say medic, I think they actually mean an unnamed source quoted in the Sun that they have pinched that detail from. I await proper info, or at least some direct quotes from the government.
As for the Mirrors crappy wording about confirming whether the new strain is more deadly, the actual wording from Whitty is weighted in the opposite direction.
Statement from Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Whitty, about new strain of COVID-19
New strain of COVID-19 reported to World Health Organization.

The government has insisted today that there will be no U-turn on its decision to allow three households to mix indoors over the Christmas period until everyone has bought a massive turkey and forked out over £200 on food.
As fears of a third wave of infections continue to rise in the UK, the Prime Minister has assured the nation that the current plan to allow families to mix indoors for five days over Christmas will still go ahead, for now, until your massive turkey arrives and you’ve spent all your money on food.
Speaking earlier today the Prime Minister revealed, “We have absolutely no plans whatsoever to cancel the easing of restrictions over Christmas at all, definitely not, we promise.
“We would therefore urge everyone in the country to order the biggest turkey they possibly can, and spend hundreds of pounds on food and booze for an almighty big get together, before we cancel it all at the last minute with a customary U-turn, giving little or no notice at all, like we do with everything else.
“We are aware that millions of people will be buying presents, and food for Christmas get-togethers, whilst making travel arrangements and booking time off work to go and spend time with their families.
“That’s why we will leave it till the last minute possible to tell everyone it’s off, and that you all need to stay home and watch telly instead.
Asked if people should hold off from spending money until a decision is finally made, we were told: “Don’t be stupid, we need the tax revenue.”

The first tier system lasted 3 weeks before a national lockdown, the second tier system will have lasted two and a half weeks if, as expected, a new tier 4 is announced this afternoon.
They really need to have a word with themselves about how to make the tier system work. A top tier that's tough enough to actually bring the virus figures down. Putting areas in higher tiers before it's got out of hand, not waiting til it's all gone wrong then putting them up. Accepting some people won't be happy and providing support to those who need it. Using tiers to prevent the virus running wild rather than reacting after it has.
Both times they've tried it they've fucked it up. Maybe a mutation to the virus has caught them out a bit this time, but it's been obvious both times that they haven't gone far enough and both times they've ended with hospitals filling up and huge numbers of people dying unnecessarily.
Fucks sake

How completely stupid do you have to be to design a tiered alert system that only goes up to 3 and then realise it needs a 4. After the abandoned 5 level system that needed lots of half numbers in it. Absolute clowns. Not even funny how idiots get into positions of such serious responsibility.
