>Prof Mark Woolhouse of Edinburgh University is clear on the issue. “I think the UK is ahead at present and Europe is following us,” he told the Observer. A major factor in this process was the arrival of the Delta variant of the Covid virus, he added. “It is substantially more serious than previous variants and it hit many European countries much later than it did in Britain. It has struck in these nations at a time when vaccine protection – typically in the most vulnerable, the ones who were vaccinated first – has begun to wane significantly. That is not an ideal situation at all.”
I’d be more concerned about the wave coming during the winter rather than the summer.
Covid is going to get you.
Vaccinated or not.
The UK, US and Russia show it
The UK has been 4-6 weeks ahead of Europe’s curve for a fucking year. Yet the trash-tier press like the Guardian still act surprised and do the whole clickbait “omg why are UK cases the worst in Europe!?” … followed by “omg why is the UK not hit as hard as Europe!?” 4 weeks later.
