This news is from June, but I dont know this until very few days ago. I think it's a important information to understand how virus spread differently in each zone.

Mutated COVID-19 Viral Strain in U.S. and Europe 10 Times More Contagious than Original Strain
Published: Jun 30, 2020 By Mark Terry

Researchers have been analyzing and tracking the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, since it first appeared in China in January. Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have found that the strains spreading so quickly in Europe and the U.S. have a mutated S “spike” protein that makes it about 10 times more infectious than the strain that originally was identified in Asia. The research was published online on bioRxiv and has yet to be peer-reviewed.

The mutation does not appear to make the virus any more deadly than it already is, but it does appear to make it significantly more contagious. The original strain in China is dubbed D614, while the one found in the UK, Italy and North America by May is dubbed G614.

When this happen in June, newspapers dont pubished the news as main headline.

But now I see the news about UK strain as main headline in all Spanish newspapers.

Why? Is it a way to punish UK for Brexit?
