London is currently ‘plague central’. Not surprised, with all those crowds everywhere, like on my tube train yesterday morning. You wouldn’t let cattle travel like that. But only because they’d get lonely. So we’re either adhering rigidly to our recently upgraded Tier 4 status, or ITS CHRISTMAS!!!! and no-one’s bothering to go into the office. Not that the trains have been busy since… well February really, but this was something else.

And all because London is the centre of the new Covid variant. It’s the centre of everything, that’s why we live here. And its always first with every new innovation. So the mutated form of coronavirus would obviously want to live here, like everyone else. Shying away from Manchester, Newcastle and definitely Scotland. Places that obviously don’t want our new, trendy, upmarket, hipster version of their Covid 19, which, incidentally, is known, rather catchily, as VUI-202012/01, like they never wanted the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, and even the Beatles had to come to London to find fame.

If you travel to Birmingham, f’rinstance, you have to quarantine for 10 days. Fortunately, I never want to go to Birmingham. Same applies to most cities outside of our elite, Tier 4, zone. As for going abroad; no-one wants us at all!!! Even the French have closed borders to Britain. Which is not a massive loss, unless you’re a lorry driver, but that’s along with about 44 other countries who’ve banned people from the UK. We have become the Millwall fans of Europe.

Yet once again, this ‘mutation’ of the original virus is a wonderful lesson in evolution. The virus wasn’t ‘changed by an unseen hand’ into something a bit more contagious, it didn’t ‘decide’ to become more efficient at spreading, it just mutated a bit and the mutation spread faster than the original. Hence infected more people and hence became the dominant strain. It’s just like any other evolution but much, much quicker due to the simplicity of virus DNA and the rate at which it can ‘reproduce’ (ie infect).

So I hope all the creationists in the world, the biblical adherents to the ‘world created in 1007 years’, I hope they’re happy that God must have not just created this virus but mutated the fucker too!

Happy 3rd wave
