they tracked the virus in the UK back to September and have been marking steady increases. 29% in mid-November, 62% early December. so the assumption here is that it's just much more contagious based off of the increases. i'm sure there was definitely some super spreader stuff happening too and that explains why they went from 70% to 56% more contagious but that's where we're at right now. a perfectly firm statement of how much more, nobody actually knows, it just appears to be the case.

with that said.
it does not appear to be more severe at all. there ARE strains which are both - Africa had an outbreak - but that's rarer and hasn't had anything notable in western nations. that's also why it's accepted as fact, there's a couple dozen changes the virus has had with some subtle differences. nothing that any of the vaccines can't figure out though.
