Viral mutations may cause another ‘very, very bad’ COVID-19 wave, scientists warn

Here is a beautiful example how the main stream science media try to constantly scare the hell out of us citizens! They have done it so many times since the Covid-19 pandemic started! It's almost pure alarmism and demagoguery! It is incredible! This pandemic is more hysteria than anything else and the science community helped to fuel it!

Just the name of the new SARS-CoV-2 strain: B.1.1.7 conjures up that dangerous aliens are invading planet earth! Why not call it just B117!

The simple fact is that this pandemic is overall fairly harmless! That some of the daily statistics about the pandemic are inflated (e.g. death total)! That politicians resorted to shotgun measures for the past 10 months instead of focusing on the vulnerable and so on!

"For COVID-19 researchers, the new year brings a strong sense of déjà vu. As in early 2020, the world is anxiously watching a virus spread in one country and trying to parse the risk for everyone else. This time it is not a completely new threat, but a rapidly spreading variant of SARS-CoV-2. In southeastern England, where the B.1.1.7 variant first caught scientists’ attention last month, it has quickly replaced other variants, and it may be the harbinger of a new, particularly perilous phase of the pandemic. ..."
