Whitty seems to have confirmed that something is odd about how this strain has taken hold in the South East / London. It's pretty dominant here already apparently and is the only way they can explain these areas seemingly coming out of the national lockdown worse than they went in, unlike the rest of the country. I'm sure we will hear more in half an hour.
Imagine the government will try and hang the U turn on this mutation "no on could have predicted". Will be interesting to see how far valance and whitty go along with that commentary.

Apparently the UK has notified the WHO that it has determined that it is spread more easily. I haven't seen what the evidence is but I assume you need evidence to consider notifying the WHO...
