The proof will be in the pudding I suppose, not long til we find out. Cases rising and it's not simply due to testing rising according to Whitty. Maybe it's just a blip. Hopefully.

Other countries are in a second wave and Israel is into a second lockdown. Why will it be different for us?
Because we locked down later I guess and got it over and done with in one.

It may be lasting long, but that is all. The longer people flaunt the restrictions, the longer the whole thing will go on for.
The difference is that the 'Beast from the East' didn't last for months.

Lockdowns are extremely damaging in so many ways, so it is sensible of the PM to rule out another one.
