Pretty Words...
Very early days for the Indian variant, some of it will be purely random right now. In a few weeks it will be everywhere and will 'level out' distribution wise.
For sure. We'll likely never know the answer but, at this risk of stating the obvious, it has to start somewhere. I mean a specific school or college, a particular workplace a local person's circumstances etc. The Director of Public Health in Bedford has been commenting today on just how transmissible it seems to be.
One of the really striking things about the variant is just how transmissible it is. If someone goes to school and tests positive, we are then seeing their whole family test positive.
She certainly seems to be saying here that it's transmitted via schools (which has long been my theory anyway).
