I noticed how this CORONA variant in the UK, the one that is seventy times more contagious than COVID19
How do they work that out?I'm sure they just plucked that number out of the air-''70% sounds good,go with that.'

70 percent. 70% more transmissible.
That is not the same as 70 times as transmissible. It is less than twice as transmissible but still, not good.

One of the "gain of function" goals is increased transmission to speed up vaccine research. I wouldn't doubt that this was a GOF virus that escaped one of these labs doing their fast track studies. That is why they know so much and say so little in their public statements IMO.
