If it wasn't Xmas, would there be a 5 day relaxation period? Does "the science" say a 5-day blowout will be good for the country? Why were large ethnic areas effectively closed down with no notice prior to Eid? I agree, though I can see why- seems many would fuck it off anyhow. The danger now though, is folk going beyond the limits of this brief lifting, and still taking the piss: give an inch and they'll take a yard type thing. Rock and a hard place, but for me just stick with it for a while. Even it the offer another couple of bank Holidays in March say, by means of compensation, to get together then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the Welsh one has been so effective. Have their numbers come down since, because they were higher at the end than the beginning? Not necessarily unexpected, but if they haven't dropped since then maybe their's needed to be longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for balance, limited or lesser measures have also clearly worked in other parts of England. A one size fits all approach doesn’t work that is clear. I was curious as to this extra Scottish 'lockdown'- when did that occur? Only NI and Wales had one prior to the current English one. The tier system was also started in England first too, Nicola soon followed suit with her own version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing's for sure, it'll be the government's fault if a few more olds cop for it! Each to their own, but we're not going to expand bubbles etc. Might go with the current one (in laws), but might just stick with the 3 of us.

Absolutely it will be the governments fault i will see my mum pre xmas which I’m part of her support bubble with her fella. That’s it. My brother works for nhs so given his exposure to people with illnesses we’ve left him out. xmas day will be me and my missus with a visit from her mum and dad in the morning to drop stuff off etc. Her grandparents are both vulnerable so whilst I would benefit financially should they get it and die I don’t want to be responsible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it would've happened anyway in the same time period? And while we're at it, do we also now all accept that the number of cases are important, and do have a direct link to hospitalisations and deaths? Or does that still require further investigation?
