• Yet they weren’t doing that previously?
    Perhaps this new strain is so worrying it requires the testing. That said if that is the case it’ll be too late already.
    Just doesn’t square to me.

  • I think maybe there's a bit of disparity in how it's all being communicated in the media and how it's actually happened. Lots of headlines saying that the Gov 'knew about this new strain since September', but I have a feeling that they didn't know how contagious it was until recently, hence the drastic Tier 4 introduction.

  • When I say previously I mean for the lesser transmitted version.
    It was identified in Sept it’s been growing since. To think it’s not already in France spreading is ridiculous.
