Don't worry about that nurse in the video -
I've been told she's a snowflake who regularly faints over anything.

She obviously has a problem, maybe low blood pressure or something?

I hope the vaccines are effective against the new mutation.

They will probably have to start again.

God no - let's hope not.

Coronavirus updates live: 'New variant' of coronavirus discovered

A new variant of coronavirus that spreads much faster has been picked up in people across at least 60 different local authorities in the UK.  
Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed the news in parliament overnight there was “nothing to suggest” it caused worse disease or that vaccines – that are already being rolled out to millions in the UK – would no longer work. 
“The latest clinical advice is that it’s highly unlikely this mutation would fail to respond to a vaccine,” he said.
He said the World Health Organization had been told about the discovery and UK scientists were doing in-depth studies.
“We’ve currently identified over 1000 cases with this variant predominantly in the South of England although cases have been identified in nearly 60 different local authority areas,” he said.
“We do not know the extent to which this is because of the new variant but no matter its cause we have to take swift and decisive action which unfortunately is absolutely essential to control this deadly disease while the vaccine is rolled out.”
Many of the areas of the South of England – like London, Kent, parts of Essex and Hertfordshire – where the new strain has been picked up have seen sharp rises in cases in recent days.
England left a national lockdown on December 2 to move to a new set of regional tiered restrictions, however the capital has been moved back under harsh measures after less than two weeks following a surge in cases. 
On Monday it was announced London as well as parts of Essex and Herefordshire would enter tier three restrictions that will see restaurants and bars have to close the week before Christmas. Mayor Sadiq Khan is also calling for schools to close early following a rise in cases among 10-19 year olds. 
It comes after pictures showed central London’s streets crowded with shoppers, raising fears that cases seeded over the Christmas period could fuel a new third wave of the virus in early 2021.
