The new strain is said to be 70% more contagious no more severe but more contagious. First government action was to cancel Xmas and close down south London. Here we go again and hopefully the UK can contain it within their borders. It’s feared the new strain will spread thru Europe and eventually to the USA. The World Health Organization has been notified and the UK is a responsible country unlike China so they are completely cooperating to contain the new strain. I’m sure we all have many questions so tune into the media Sunday as it will be a HUGE new story. All I can say is UGH NOT what I wanted to hear but have to face it like everyone else.

No surprise there. I mean, it's not like other viruses (e.g., the flu) don't come out with different strains. Guess we'll have to lock down until there's a new vaccine.

Tune in to the media? No, I'll take a hard pass on that.

Big 10-4 on that. I get all the (attempted) brainwashing and fear-mongering I want WITHOUT tuning in to those idiots.

It’s a personal decision to be informed regarding Covid 19. You chose to not know it’s up to you. Me vaccines, and a new more contagious strain of Covid 19 gets my attention as it may affect business decisions I’m about to make this week and my recreational life and travel as well. JD membership is an intelligent group so I always like to hear their opinions. I have had Covid and DO NOT want it again as was very tough on a guy my age so I’m open to news and will sort out the facts.

I used the term media because it is all encompassing of all mass communication regardless of form. I actually found more information on the internet regarding what’s going on with the new covid 19 strain on the internet. USA news is hardly discussing the topic so far.

Guess what...ITS A VIRUS!... IT WILL LIKELY MUTATE.... Isn't that why the flu vaccine is at best 60% effective??? every year they have to make best guess as to what strain to vaccinate against, why would or should it be any different for this?

without all the media hype we'd be referring to this as "man, i had a nasty cold last week"...or "my uncle John passed away last month....he was 90, had a full life".......with media hype,..... "I have covid 19, YOU need to shut down your business"....or, "my uncle John died last week of covid-19 because YOU didn't wear a mask"

I can't believe ANYTHING the mainstream media reports . Here is what snoway is reporting....a +99% survival rate., mild symptoms, if any, for normal somewhat healthy individuals. kids are mostly immune.

You're not supposed to notice this. Move along, nothing to see here.

Yep turned off the TV and canceled Direct TV. I think your going to see more of that also. The business to be in for the future is anything outdoors there will be millions just like me turning off the garbage.

Its no more severe that what we have going on now, more contagious and they see no reason why the current vaccines wont guard against it but...Let the fear mongering begin!! Anyone notice how the state with the most strictest lock down policies and enforcement continues to have record cases?? How is this possible? maybe the science... ISN'T right and...it is just a virus going to do what it wants. hmmmmm

Scared people and divided people are easier to manipulate.
