Quote : "Vallance says hospital data doesn’t show a difference in mortality between new variant, but there is “increased risk” of mortality among the wider positive testing population gives example of positive testing males in their 60s seeing 1% mortality, new variant 1.3-1.4%"
So long for our virologists' claim that a virus getting more infectious means its getting less fatal.
This one is 70% more infectious and 30% more deadly than the 2020 version.
And this is ONLY the start. The South African variant and Brazil variants are worse than the UK's one -- they say.
