Did anyone hear about Theresa May's question to the Health Secretary in Parliament yesterday?

I have to say that I broadly agree with her and I am surprised that this hasn't been more widely reported on - she is, after all, a former Prime Minister. She is also, on a personal level, someone who could be at greater risk of serious illness (T1 diabetic and over 60).

It's interesting to think that, if she were still PM, we might find ourselves taking a different approach as a country. And I do personally believe that this approach would be more reasonable - what is really the point of passing measure which affect the travel industry so adversely when the variant in question is already spreading in the community?

PM May was never noted for being particularly incautious, either...

I think you are misunderstanding why it is being labelled a "stealth" variant bumbleymummy?

"The stealth variant has many mutations in common with standard Omicron, but it lacks a particular genetic change that allows lab-based PCR tests to be used as a rough and ready means of flagging up probable cases."
