is there a brazil variant in the uk? another lockdown??

it means very little for now.

If it becomes wide spread, then it could mean the slowing down of lifting restrictions because of the reduction in effectiveness of the vaccines. Which while it would be frustrating, in the long-run isn't an issue because newer adapted vaccines are already being produced to combat variants/mutations.

In all likelyhood the goverment, with the level of testing we have now, will manage to control the new variant, and things will go on opening up as normal. We have had a number of small batches of the S.A. variant, which contains the same worrying mutation as the Brazillian one, and so far none have blown up to become anything serious.

i'm surprised it actually came to the uk. i would've thought the quarantines they make people have when they come to the uk were done well. it leaves me to believe they either aren't done properly or they don't monitor them

It was before the hotel quantining because they were slow to implement as usual.
