The takeways are that the B.1.1.7 (Kent) variant probably emerged from a patient with a weakened immune system, allowing the virus to 'learn'. And that the more ANY Covid type spreads, the more likely it is to find a really dangerous variant.
It creates a culture of resentment. It creates in 60-70% of the population an idea that they are the real victims, that the whole of society is stacked against them. Politicians appeal to this - they win elections by suggesting that the majority of voters are suffering, the majority of voters are victims, and if only they can get in they can transform their lives. And that, I think, also creates a toxic atmosphere in politics.
