Many have gone before you denying the inevitable rise of the virus and been proven incorrect time and again.
As I say restrictions are inevitable - Javid acknowledges this reading between the lines - the only question is where and when. The most effective time is absolutely now.
The economic impact is a red herring. When even a small proportion of people - the clinically vulnerable, their families spend less up to large proportions - those who can work from home continue to do so all winter against a backdrop of rising cases many businesses will be adversely affected in any case. They will just do so without Government support.
Hospitalisations rising isn’t speculation. It’s inevitable without intervention.

Except, of course, that Covid is not responsible for such admissions.

As I said. Vaccines nudge the dial, it doesn’t prevent the reality that a large and increasing number of infections results in a large and increasing number of hospitalisations and deaths.

Nudge the dial? They have made a tremendous difference, but for some curious reason you absolutely refuse to acknowledge it.
Incidentally, the big rise in infections are in young people. It’s the vulnerable elderly that are being admitted to hospital.
