FYI, we don't know with high confidence whether the new UK [or South African] virus strain is more contagious. But it seems very plausible. It's also quite plausible that this strain is already in other countries too - the UK does better monitoring than most places.

The vaccines are here. Be safe till you get yours. Meet friends outdoors if possible.

    Why I did this

    I am not an expert on Covid, viruses, or vaccines, but I am a scientist with relevant training. I believe we have a responsibility to clearly communicate science to the public, especially in emergencies. So in March 2020, I started to write summaries of Covid developments on facebook and email them to friends and family, to help them understand the situation as it unfolded. This is an archive of those posts (created much later).

    I also tracked the spread of alarming Covid variants for a few months at http://covidvarianttracking.com/ and mapped the consequences of faster variant spreading at https://tabsoft.co/2YwHCmZ.
