    I'm so glad that I will get my PR soon. This place has its problems but it's not the complete shitshow that is my home country.

    Is this "new" strain related to the Spanish "new" strain that was brought back to the UK by the holiday crowd in late Sept / Oct?

    I'd really like to see if they can trace this one... I suspect it is not really new, but has been active since late Sept / Oct.

    Well those that wanted a hard brexit are getting their wish.
    after being here a week I am not at all surprised the way it has spread. Such a relaxed approach to mask wearing and many walking around with an ‘I am exempt from mask’ badges. It’s fucked over here.

    Arrivals from the UK are banned from the US anyway, unless they are citizens or PR.

    Not just the Netherlands. Meanwhile also Belgium, France, Germany and Turkey have taken action. And the list is getting longer pretty quickly.
