Maybe it is darwinian evolution in action. All those that think it is transmitted by 5G radio waves , who forgot to put the tin hat on when they danced around together the other night, will be the second wave.

This is all I'm worried about. I don't want to shop I want to go and get my grandma and take her out for lunch and a stroll. She's only been living alone for a couple of years since my granddad needed to go into a care home, they've been married 60 years and now she's in isolation. Its hard.
No, I wasn’t thinking of aliens, herby. I’m not that barmy.
I was thinking more along the lines of how a previously docile but now rabid dog will bite someone and in doing so pass on the disease. Does the disease control the animal’s behaviour in order for the disease to spread?
Viruses mutate at random all the time and most mutations are not helpful to the virus. If one randomly mutates to a form that happens to cause dogs to bite, that virus is going to spread. I read that viruses are constantly mutating and being spread from animals to humans, but 99.99% of the time the elements aren't all in place to allow a 'successful' spread through the population, and they hit a brick wall. When, by chance, the elements all align, we see an outbreak like the current one.

@the tidy gardener and @FlyDragon - these are the other, ,more hidden, costs of this virus - the dramatic impact on people being alone or alone caring for an unwell relative. I find this aspect so very sad, and close to home for me too. This is yet another reason why people must stay at home and make sacrifices. The more peaks and waves we have, the longer until these lonely people can see loved ones again. Sending warm thoughts to all who are missing loved ones or worrying about family that they can’t comfort. Keep strong all.
I try to stay calm, but I'm getting concerned (step down from worried) about how people will interpret what Johnson says later today. This alert thing is too open to interpretation as in - I'll do whatever I like but watch out for anyone who looks a bit ill and hold my breath as I walk past them.
This is what I heard.

You’re right, and my grandma understands it, but everybody has their limits, and it’s a shame that all the government’s focus will be on helping the economy and none on this human cost. ☹️
