This is a load of made up rubbish. The Delta (what used to be the Indian variant) is the dominant strain. In the Spanish press the Beta variant is rarely mentioned.
According to the Telegraph, the Beta (the one causing concern in the rags) accounts for 2.9% of the total number of new cases in Spain. That's down from 9% last week but is being cited by the UK press as being the reason Spain could be put on amber plus or even red (how many of these stupid levels can they come up with?).

Now, I've been a Tory voter my entire life (OK, shoot me!) and I mean ever since I've been allowed the vote which is many years. The conflicting stories coming from this current lot makes me despair, really despair. Do they argue about things in their cabinet meetings and then say things to the press which is then denied by someone else?

No leadership, no singing from the same songsheet, no agreeing on anything. Such a shame the alternative seems even worse.

And the "traffic light" system must be the worst thought out idea ever. OK, Red, Amber, Green. Then they come out with Amber plus, then it's Amber watch list or Red watch list.

I really, really want to go to UK to see my grandkids. One lot I've not seen for 2 years and the other lot for 20 months. Pointless going if I have to self isolate for 10 days or, worse, quarantine in some grotty airport hotel for 10 days and pay a fortune to do so.

Unusual for me to get too het up about anything but, FGS, UK get your damn act in order!!!

I completely agree with Marcliff on so much. I was a Tory voter all my life... not now.

I too want to see my grandchildren.. they are growing up and I am missing watching them grow...

The way the UK have behaved is disgraceful... it is ruining lives... not just Covid but socially..

Grrrrrrrr

Not that vaccines work to stop the spread anyway as has been repeatedly stated by all the experts. My prediction is that Puig will bring in the passports no matter what. Just like France, Italy, Ireland etc.

Quite a few people around Quesada and Benijofar this morning not wearing masks (or having them around their chins) despite the fact it was quite busy.

Also at Zoco this morning, Loads of people not wearing masks. Very disappointing as it was quite busy. Can only suspect its holidaymakers.
