Ask HN: How worrying is the new Covid variant?

The news coverage I'm reading (BBC, FT, NYT, etc.) seems very concerned in saying this new variant has a strong chance of evading vaccines, existing immune responses, etc.

Whenever they quote scientists, however, it sounds more like "We don't know, so better safe than sorry."

Are there any HN readers who know a thing or two about biotech that could shed light on the science of what we know and the current risk of this variant?
