....and pestilences.... Luke 21:11
"Satan
is exercising his power. ....He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and
thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more
and more frequent and disastrous.” Great Controversy, p. 590 E.G.W.
"Matthew Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health and Social 
Care, told the House of Commons that the new variant of Covid-19 had been identified over the last few days. He believes it may be connected to “the faster spread [of the virus] in the south-east of England.”
“Initial analysis suggests that this variant is growing faster than the current variant,” Hancock said.
Over a thousand cases with this new strain of coronavirus have been identified in the U.K., he added, mostly in the south of England 
although “cases have been identified in nearly 60 different local authority areas” (regions). It is apparently spreading rapidly.
Britain has informed the World Health Organization of the development.
Hancock stressed that the mutation was not likely to be more dangerous than the original virus and that it would probably also respond to the vaccine." Lifesite
