UK experts have grown more confident about their conclusions on B.1.1.7, says @PeterHorby
, who chairs NERVTAG (New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group):
“We now have high confidence
that this variant does have a transmission advantage.” (“moderate” on 18.12.)
lots more interesting info in the SMC organised presser with several NERVTAG members (still going on).

In 2 weeks we may discover that even the most stringent lockdown cannot prevent the spread

on containment of the vulnerable while the vaccine is rolled out. https://thetimes.co.uk/article/race-t
