[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1039089, member: 58362"] Thanks. Good to see that they're following JCVI advice in making these changes, but the burning question to me is why this strategy was considered suboptimal and is now optimal. I could understand if this variant is thought to be even more skewed towards affecting older people badly, but there's no mention of anything other than it being more transmissible across the board. That cynical / realist in me (delete as appropriate) thinks that now the May elections are out of the way, we can use B.1.617.2 as an excuse to switch to a strategy that places more emphasis on saving lives and less on winning votes. Now that the problems that came from our shores haven't washed up on them again, Boris is lining up B.1.617.2 as his latest patsy. [/QUOTE]
