It hasn’t increased recorded infection rates yet, which is a different thing.
If it’s spreading that quickly, and the incubation rate is 5 - 7 days on average, that’s a lot of people wandering around not knowing they have it yet.
It’s following the same pattern as last September/October - difference is we have the vaccines this time, so let’s hope that changes the outcome.

Exactly this
India has been on the red list since April 23rd yet cases have stayed around the 2k each day since then
it’s the Sage bed wetters fear mongering massively

People opposed to an NHS app having your vaccine record on it must also be annoyed that the NHS holds their medical records?

Just noticed this morning on the app that there is a record of your jabs and a QR code to be scanned if needed showing you have had the jab etc

Can’t find that. Is this the NHS Covid app? How do you access it the record on there?

Health Secretary Matt Hanrooster said yesterday the B1617.2 variant of the Covid virus - first discovered in India - had been identified in 86 local authorities.
That doesn’t mean it’s not circulating elsewhere - but it also doesn’t mean all 86 are being overwhelmed by the variant.
There are particular clusters in the north-west of England and in London.
In some areas, this version of the virus is causing the majority of infections, including in Bolton, Blackburn, Sefton in the north-west England and Bedford, Chelmsford and Canterbury in the south-east England. In London it makes up the lion's share of cases in Croydon, Hounslow and Hillingdon.
Just because it's the most common strain doesn't mean there's lots of it about, though.
In Bolton, the most concerning area, 210 cases have been sequenced in the past week, according to the Wellcome Sanger Institute which is carrying out genetic surveillance of the virus. There were 77 cases sequenced in the past week in Blackburn, 62 in Sefton and 50 in Bedford (this is almost certainly an underestimate of how many are actually circulating).
But in Croydon, for example, 75% of cases only amounts 12 individual infections that could be attributed to the variant.

Cases still coming down from the previous 7 days, obviously things could change in the next couple of weeks Indian variant wise

as expert says Indian variant 'could push hospitalisations back to January levels'

Prof Neil Ferguson, an epidemiologist at Imperial College London and a member of the government's Scientific Pandemic Influenza Modelling Group tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme the 21 June date for lifting all legal limits on social contact is "very much in the balance".
Asked if the final stage of England's easing of restrictions would go ahead or need to be reconsidered, he says: "I think that's actively being considered.
"I think it's very much in the balance and the data collected in the next two to three weeks will determine that."
It is not yet clear how transmissible the Covid variant first found in India is, he says.
Prof Ferguson adds: "It was introduced from overseas, principally into people with Indian ethnicity, [who have] a higher chance of living in multi-generational households and often in quite deprived areas with high-density housing, and so we're trying to work out whether the rapid growth we've seen in areas such as Bolton is going to be typical of what we could expect elsewhere."
But he says there is a "glimmer of hope" from recent data that suggest the growth of the variant has flattened.
"But it will take more time for us to be definitive about that."

You know that If a variant evades the vaccine there will be another national lockdown?
