Oxford’s Sir John Bell has said the South African Covid strain is more concerning than the UK strain, because it has ‘really pretty substantial changes in the structure of the protein’ which may result in vaccines being ineffective. I was already feeling quite worried about the whole situation so this has really worried me Sad

I’m feeling the same. Feels like we’ll never get out of this mess. I’m really worried about the future and for my son.
