Friend of the Kent Virus?

They are certainly now coming out of the woodwork! A man from Chatham, in Kent, has been charged with posting a presumed 'explosive device' to a Wockhardt site in Wrexham, North Wales (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jan/30/man-charged-with-sending-suspicious-package-to-welsh-covid-vaccine-plant). Receipt of the package predictably forced the Wockhardt site's complete evacuation. The site provides a 'fill-and-finish' service (basically putting materials in vials and labelling) for the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. So the device at least delayed vaccine processing. It's odd that the suspect comes from the same location, as the more infective B117 variant of Sars-CoV-2, that is spreading across the UK.
