For those maybe just about to book flights - maybe wait and lets hope this DOESNT become a "thing"? :-(

Sorry firstly I should say MEANT to add a question mark after the topic headline to make it an open question rather than a statement of opinion or fact !


So as just reported on BBC "breaking news" an hour ago,,,,,Reports of a new variant being discovered in Africa and quotes as below certainly dont fill one with any great rush to head out and book any long haul flights to anywhere just yet perhaps :-( Lets hope when the find out more it fizzles out !


"One expert described the variant, known as B.1.1.529, as "the worst one we've seen so far", and there is concern it has the potential to evade immunity."
"he said the variant has a significant number of mutations, "perhaps double the number of mutations that we have seen in the Delta variant" He added: "And that would suggest that it may well be more transmissible and the current vaccines that we have may well be less effective."

On a plus point ? they did also say " it was not clear if the variant was more transmissible or resistant to vaccines and therefore it was too early to judge the risk it poses"


We'll see I guess.
