For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
The New Normal, Halloween 2020’s ‘Trick R Treat’ Disaster Bag is OVERFLOWING; MUTATED Coronavirus strain discovered in Europe accounts for ’80 (8) per cent of UK cases’, study finds. Eight (8) a ‘new epoch’ or ‘new period.’ Brings to mind new Hollywood movie ‘Songbird’ set in 2024.
Lizzie Roberts The Telegraph•October 29, 2020
A coronavirus mutation which originated among Spanish farmers could be responsible for up to 80 (8) per cent of Britain’s infections after holidaymakers brought it home over the summer, a new study has suggested.
The variant, known as 20A.EU1, was discovered by a team of international researchers who tracked its spread across Europe through its genetic code.
Similarly to other viruses, Covid-19 mutates twice-monthly on average, but these variations – including 20A.EU – do not tend to change the function of the virus, scientists say.
So far, there are no indications the new strain spreads faster or has more detrimental health impacts, the authors of the pre-print study stressed.
By examining the genetic code of the virus from Covid-19 tests, a method known as DNA sequencing, scientists can follow these variations and track their prevalence within regions.
The mutation was first discovered among farm workers in northern Spain in June, before it moved into the local community, travelled into the Valencia region and then on to the rest of the country.
The suspected “super-spreader” event among the workers may have been “critical” in boosting the mutation’s prevalence nationally before the borders reopened for holidaymakers, the researchers said.
In July, with the establishment of the Spanish travel corridor, British holidaymakers flocked to the country and the first case of the 20A.EU1 was subsequently reported in the UK on July 18.
By tracking weekly data supplied by the Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium, the researchers said the strain now accounts for around 80 per cent of sequences in the UK, which is likely to be proportional to cases, Dr Emma Hodcroft, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Basel, said.
The mutation will continue to be investigated, Dr Hodcroft said, but added the prevalence of the variant highlights “some failures in the system”, such as test and trace and travel quarantines.
A mutated coronavirus strain causes most new COVID-19 infections in Europe and was spread within the continent by tourists, scientists say

The majority of new COVID-19 cases in Europe stem from a mutated strain of the coronavirus that has been traced back to Spain and was spread across the continent over the summer by tourists, scientists said in a report Thursday.
The variant most likely originated in farm workers in northeastern Spain, where it was first recorded in June, they said.
The team of scientists from the University of Basel, ETH Zürich in Basel, and SeqCOVID in Spain said a suspected “superspreader” event accounted for early proliferation of the virus, which was then spread abroad by tourists and other travelers.
By October, the variant had been identified in 12 (6+6) countries across the continent, as well as in Hong Kong and New Zealand, they said.
There is no data yet to suggest this variant is more deadly, they said.
The variant of SARS-CoV-2, known as 20A.EU1, had spread to at least six (6) European countries by late July.
Hundreds of variants of the virus are present in Europe, but few are as widespread as the 20A.EU1 cluster, the scientists said.
“This variant, 20A.EU1, and a second variant 20A.EU2 … account for the majority of recent sequences in Europe,” the scientists said.
Holidaymakers returning from Spain played a significant role in the spread of the virus across Europe, the researchers said.
More than four in five new cases of the virus in the UK have come from this variation, and the scientists linked this to about 250 (5×5) individual transmissions of the virus to the country in July and August.
In comparison, analysis of viral sequences in Hong Kong suggests infections there came from just one source, and the New Zealand samples could be from as few as three separate transmissions from Europe.
The variant is mainly contained within Europe because of the lack of intercontinental travel during the pandemic, the scientists said. Authorities allowed quarantine-free travel within the continent for parts of the summer.
The rise in prevalence of 20A.EU1 across Europe “implies that the summer travel guidelines and restrictions were generally not sufficient to prevent onward transmission of introductions,” the scientists said.
The variant could be more infectious than the usual SARS-CoV-2 strain, the team added, but they said it’s “particularly difficult” to conclusively determine why the variant was spreading so quickly.
The scientists don’t know whether the variant is more severe because of a lack of data, they added. Genomic surveillance allow them to detect and track this cluster, they said, but “the absence of consistent and uniform sequencing across Europe has still limited our efforts.”
Governments should take the data into account when planning a return to travel across Europe, the researchers added.
The report comes after France and Germany announced tougher lockdown restrictions Wednesday.
The countries will face a one-month lockdown in which bars and restaurants will have to close again. In France, nonessential shops also aren’t allowed to remain open, while in Germany, hotels can’t host tourists, and gyms and theaters must shut.

Night Watchman Note; We are to ‘be watchful’ in helping to understand today’s events as related to biblical prophecy. That is what ‘watchmen or women’ do. Jesus made clear that when He actually does come for His disciples, His wise and faithful servants would be aware of the time because they would be watching. They would know the season of the times by WATCHING those things ‘coming to pass or occurring’ as Jesus said they would. The ‘BENCHMARK SIGN(s)’ always point towards Israel / Jacob. God’s prophetic timepiece. The FALSE PEACE COVENANT confirmed by the Prince/Beast among MENA (the many) is the ‘key sign’ of the times or the season of the times. Yes, we are in that period. The Prince/Beast will likely confirm and enhance the current ‘normalization’ agreement with Jacob to be a ‘peace’ agreement, to be extended to 7 years from the current 5 years, to include some agreement permitting the rebuilding of the third temple in exchange for ‘some portion of Jerusalem.’ The current ‘investment’ period for the Palestinians stands at five (5) years. This will likely occur AFTER the Bride, Disciples or True Church is removed from the earth via the Rapture / Harpazo / Redemption / ‘Twinkling’.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).
. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).
. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).
