Globalist Biden gets installed as 'POTUS' - globalists think they can ramp up the covid bs..
WHO declares that it has been calculating covid cases incorrectly in the way that produces too many positive but inaccurate cases. Surprise surprise.
Now Boris Johnson is saying that 'the new strain' going around is possibly 'more deadly' but provides no evidence to support these claims..
I used to think that Boris was on Trump's side but I don't think he is anymore, if he even was in the first place. OK, this could be part of the 'show people' thing but really? He's a big proponent of Build Back Better which is the complete opposite of MAGA or make anywhere else in the world great again.

Boris Johnson, Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance make shock claim the Kent mutant coronavirus MIGHT be 30-40% more deadly but provide no evidence at all - as Covid cases fall AGAIN by 30% to 40,261 and R number drops below 1

Boris Johnson and his top scientific advisers tonight sensationally claimed the Kent coronavirus variant could be up to 40 per cent deadlier – but sparked fury by not providing the public any evidence for their doom-mongering.
Critics argued No10's bold claim – based on findings by three academic groups – were reminiscent of 'Project Fear', accusing ministers of managing to find a 'new twist' in Britain's crisis whenever hopes are raised that lockdown could be eased.
Despite acknowledging that cases are falling across the UK, the Prime Minister – accompanied by Sir Patrick Vallance and Professor Chris Whitty – decided to hone in on early analysis by a sub-group of SAGE that suggested the highly-infectious Kent mutation was more lethal.
But the trio resorted to explaining the risk out loud during tonight's Downing Street press conference, failing to offer any actual proof to back their terrifying claim. World Health Organization bosses claimed they had seen no evidence on the variant's lethality during a simultaneous briefing.
Professor Whitty, England's chief medical officer, claimed the findings showed a 60-year-old man faced a 1.3 per cent risk of dying of the Kent Covid variant, compared to the usual 1 per cent. But a 30 per cent increase in the risk of death means 13 out of 1,000 men in their 60s will succumb to the illness, instead of 10. Professor Whitty admitted the evidence was 'not yet strong'.
Data on the lethality of the Kent variant, which has been spotted in 60 countries around the world, was first leaked to members of the press. ITV's political editor Robert Peston broke the news of the three studies before Mr Johnson's TV appearance, and was told by Professor Neil Ferguson that there was a 'realistic possibility' that the variant was deadlier.
No10 insiders dismissed claims 'Professor Lockdown' – whose grim modelling that hundreds of thousands of Britons could die without action spooked ministers into the first lockdown last March – had 'bounced' the Government into revealing NERVTAG's new evidence.
The doom-mongering came despite an array of statistics that showed the second wave has peaked already and may finally be coming under control. SAGE today claimed Britain's R rate has fallen below the crucial level of one and separate surveillance studies estimated daily cases have halved in a fortnight.
Department of Health figures mirrored the trend, with infections falling by 30 per cent week-on-week as health chiefs announced another 40,261 cases. Officials also posted 1,401 deaths, up just 9.5 per cent on last Friday. But experts warned the fatality toll will continue to rise for at least another week because of how long it takes for infected patients to become severely ill.
Defying mounting pressure to commit to easing the current measures, Mr Johnson warned today that the NHS is still under huge pressure and the curbs will only be lifted when it is 'safe'. The PM even set the scene for tougher restrictions tonight, warning: 'We may need to go further to protect our borders.' Nicola Sturgeon today warned Scotland that life may not be 'back to normal' by the summer, in another sign that the UK won't be freed from the draconian restrictions from mid-February.
The 70-strong Covid Recovery Group of Conservative MPs is urging the government to start lifting the lockdown no later than March 8 - when vaccines given to the most vulnerable groups should have taken effect. But No10's refusal to give an exact day for when lockdown will end may have been fuelled by the new variant findings.
The variant has already been spotted in 60 countries, including the US, Australia, India, China and Saudi Arabia. But the Government's top scientific advisers believe the current crop of vaccines will work against the variant - but may be less effective against other South African and Brazilian mutations.
