Hancock struggling on the Marr show.
Simply cannot go anywhere near addressing the point about being in a more severe situation than March /April but having much looser restrictions.

He also blithely says "some people need to go to work" ignoring that it is currently over 80% going to work. Do that many people really need to go in? The difficulty is that it has been left to bosses to decide, not workers.
He also has said every willing adult will be vaccinated by autumn.
I've also decided that anyone referring to"the spirit" of the lockdown has been on the spirits!

His exit strategy is a belter as well.
Trying to justify Boris's comments last week is a bit pathetic.
So here we go again and boy are we well in brown stuff. Yet we have a lockdown with a lock that's more holes than Swiss cheese.
Even going back to the March lockdown conditions won't control the new variant. Daily more within the health service and expects call for more action. We hit grim record after grim record but government say it's too early to change things. How fair do they want to push this? The NHS will go under and the human cost will be off the scale. The vaccine program has now just become the next political numbers game which just will undermine the whole thing. Which we just can't afford.
The only highlight of the 5pm muppet show is Whitty and co ripping them to bits ever thing they say. In such a professional, clear way and dignified way they don't even notice.

Binds more strongly to the receptor on the cell wall that allows the virus entry is my understanding.
It's complex basally the part of the virus that it users to attach to the part of your respiratory system it users. The new variant is much better at doing it making it more effective at being past on.

A Sage guy on the Marr show today also briefly mentioned the possibility that the new variant may be better at suppressing the immune response. I'm no scientist so I have no idea what this might involve, but it was near the start of the programme.
