A subvariant of the Covid Delta strain could be more infectious than its ancestor, experts warned today after data revealed the proportion of cases linked to the strain has doubled in a month.
AY.4.2, as it is currently known to scientists, made up almost 10 per cent of all infections in England in the fortnight ending October 9. Virus-trackers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, which sequences thousands of Covid samples every week, say its prevalence stood at just four per cent in mid-September.
Academics estimate it may be up to 15 per cent more transmissible than the original Delta, which rapidly became dominant in Britain in the spring before taking off worldwide.
It has been detected in almost every part of the country, figures show, and it's thought to be behind almost 60 per cent of positive tests sampled sequenced in Adur, West Sussex.
No10 today said it was 'keeping a very close eye' on AY.4.2 but insisted there is 'no evidence' that it spreads easier. Boris Johnson's official spokesperson also warned the Government 'won't hesitate to take action if necessary'.
The warning comes as Covid cases continue to spiral across the UK, with daily infections yesterday shooting up to almost 50,000 in a three-month high.

FEAR! STAT!!!
Get a booster for your booster!!
I’m shocked..............................
More like a reformulated main vaccine requiring a sequence of three shots over two months.
Pandemic of the vaccinated. Escape variants caused by mass vaxing in the middle of a pandemic.
Academics estimate it may be up to 15 per cent more transmissible than the original Delta, which rapidly became dominant in Britain in the spring before taking off worldwide.

Delta Plus. Now with 15% more legroom than regular Delta variant. Now with complimentary headphones and free snacks.
It’s not a new strain - it’s the vaxx causing this.

“where are all these variants coming from”
All this from one bat./s
Huddle in you basements and please don’t riot.
Here comes the whole damned Greek alphabet.
I’m going to spend the rest of my life dodging needles.
Either that or, as the UK press was trying to gaslight yesterday, the jabbed are merely having "very bad colds". Somehow the frankenshot renders one more susceptible to the common cold, but don't you dare suggest that it might be ADE!
“take action if necessary”
What “action” can they take? Masks? Lockdowns? Three meter social distance? Close all businesses?
Every “action” so far has failed miserably.
“Here comes the whole damned Greek alphabet.”
Nope, now we have “subvariant AY.4.2.” No Greeks needed.
Total Deaths in UK Attributed to Covid: 138,379

Total UK population: 66,220,000
Covid death rate 0.002
Beware the subvariants! (is that scarier than “variants”?) More lockdowns! More masks! More jabs!
Actually what Britain has to fear the most is its cops attacking, roughing and arresting young women who read a text while standing at a podium. Watch Rebel News to witness the descent of a once great empire into barbarism.
John king has announced he has MS. Would like to know if he is vaxxed
Another variant scare to keep the scared scared.
