Wales with masks having record numbers compared to Wales with masks plus restrictions greater than masks is completely unsurprising. Schools reopening without vaccination is having an affect all around the UK. If the rest of the UK follows Scotland where schools reopened first in August cases will come back down, but hospitalisations and deaths will remain high which is why the booster campaign is to important.

Across the UK the deaths figure reported today is the highest since March, and will likely be linked to case numbers 2/3 weeks ago. So pulling them back down slightly - due to half term in all likelihood - isn’t going to cut it.
But the modelling suggests that the figures will go in the right direction with existing Plan A and that Plan B will make it worse. Only time will prove them right, but it's the best scientific advice out there. Therefore, we should go for it as there is no better option that I can see.

Don't forget that despite the four-tier lockdowns we had last year, the number of cases remained persistently high in some areas and went up and down in others. You have to wonder what real impact they had.
