I'm pretty sure that you are allowed to ask questions, if you haven't noticed, its a discussion forum.

Of course it doesn’t mean they’re ill. but you asked why it was needed. the answer is fairly obvious, however in case it isn’t I’ll spell it out for you.
Tier 2,3 and potentially to a degree tier 4 have allowed for these numbers. Now imagine what would happen if we removed the restrictions, cases would increase massively, subsequent hospital admissions, patients requiring ICU and unfortunately deaths would increase massively relative to current rates.
The job of lockdown or restrictions is to try and keep the fire to a slow burn, without them in place it would akin to a raging inferno.
