Why now and why the U.K.?

Probably being completely thick here but is it simply because it’s winter, that cases are higher? How does that explain Brazil though?
Also, why has the U.K. been so badly hit?

It’s because they didn’t close B&M. Just that.

That and all the house parties, but only the ones with more than 14 people. Grin

The scientific community that have genome sequenced the 'UK' variant has highlighted that it most likely came from migrant farm workers in Spain, but hey, keep pumping out these facebook theories instead of actually looking for the actual more reliable facts.

@Justanotherlurker, the coronavirus variant, named 20A.EU1 that originated in Spanish farm workers and spread across Europe in summer 2020 is not the same variant, named B.1.1.7, that is believed to be possibly 50% more transmissible
