Lots of companies can no longer ship goods from Europe to UK&Ireland. Most connections to UK get closed (including the Eurotunnel/Channel tunnel france <-> UK tunnel). Wtf is going on? Either the new strain is super deathly or UK starts some V for Vendetta shit. Anyone knows more?
Edit: it has to do with other countries don't let you get in from UK, so most shipping companies don't ship to UK anymore, as they can not return anymore.
Because we have not one but multiple vaccines and you've got to up the fear to extend lockdowns.
Yes and No. I guess you already say this, but just to clarify: A virus evolves in all directions. To keep it simple: It evolves into more deadly, but also evolves into less deadly. The more deadly virus is usually less successful in the long run, as if it kills it's host, it has less chances to infect new hosts. Therefore over time a virus tends to evolve into a less deadly version. But in the short run it absolutely can evolve into a more deadly variant.
Evolution does not "think" in terms of biological benefit. Instead biological benefit can be a selection criteria. So in long term it looks like stuff evolve into biological benefit.

"Londoners will be arrested if they try to leave the country, but 5 flights from Brazil (over 7 million COVID cases) will be landing at Heathrow within the next 10 minutes."
Maybe they are trying to create scarcity to break the people the rest of the way?
Might this have something to do with the Brexit deadline?

Was UK protesting the lockdowns too effectively that they want to clamp down on them the most.
The "new strain" is just a fear tactic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz_FOPYFJyQ
