FOLKS—if you think #COVID19 cases is really bad in the US, it is even more epically surging in the UK 🇬🇧 & Ireland 🇮🇪. I made a short video… and highlighted the simultaneous rise in the more contagious b117 variant. Denmark CDC thinks B117 will become dominant strain by Feb. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/FHvEmRP5oy

This new UK B117 variant, aka "The Beast", is extremely concerning.

Look at Ireland and compare it with the US.
Roughly 25% of the recently sequenced samples in Ireland are identified as being caused by the B117 variant. https://t.co/Z2IlhLs2Ch pic.twitter.com/PukwjxVPY5

I've never seen an epi curve like this. The B.1.1.7 variant is spreading like wildfire in the UK and Ireland. If it spreads here, it will make an already-bad situation even worse. pic.twitter.com/VZB5BPm5om

Let’s be clear: new strains emerge. B.1.1.7 more transmissible so will cause more infections, hospitalizations, deaths. Strains may emerge that make testing less accurate, treatment less helpful and vaccines less effective. B117 is a shot across the bow. Covid here for years. 25/
