Unlikely any restrictions will hit before 2nd Jan. It's pretty clear the Government is desperate not to hit hospitality over Christmas and New Year. From the 2nd, all bets are off.
There will be no restrictions on England at all now. What'd be the point?
Noo point of course, but the pressure's still mounting for it this week. Go figure.
The horse has bolted, people have been in and out of each other's homes, pubs, restaurants and theatres for ten days. We have record numbers of cases. The gvt didn't impose restrictions on England as Johnson had made himself a hostage to fortune when he said that this Christmas would be far better than 2020. Never mind any debate about science and stats, that was a purely political decision.
It's too late for restrictions, I'm looking for a reason not to let omicron run its course and I can't find one.
Get your jabs, wear a mask, wash your hands and carry on.
