The statement today essentially conceded measures will be needed in the future. Which begs the question of why not take lesser actions sooner, for a shorter period. Rather than having to resort to stronger actions later.

At 100,000 a day you would think we are running out of people to get infected.

Almost everyone I hear of testing positive has been vaccinated. With infection induced immunity not guaranteed to persist (evidenced in Iran and Brazil) and vaccine induced immunity waning (Israel) the importance of keeping case numbers down and rolling out boosters for all - not just over 50s - has never been stronger. Otherwise we will just meander from wave to wave hoping for the best.

A spineless Government that deceived the electorate with a promise of freedom day now scared to roll back until it’s too late. Hoping for the best has never been a mitigation strategy. However with the Government listening to the same behavioural scientists, and clowns like Jenny Harries are getting promoted, do we expect anything less than the groupthink of British exceptionalism?
