Doesn't really matter if it is no more lethal if enough people are infected.
As I've said before if you need an ICU bed and one isn't available, you die.
Increasing suspicion this variant can infect, and make infectious, younger children.
Significant chance that schools will become virtual again in January if this turns out to be true.
To accommodate the planned 3 week tier 4 'lockdown' after Boxing Day, the first week of return in Scotland will be only teachers in schools (plus children of essential staff if required) with online learning - I suspect this will make it easier to extend the virtual schooling thereafter if necessary.
