Ah, so just keyboard mashing at the moment, fair enough we all do it
Here’s the thing had Omicron not surfaced we would be in a relatovely good place, yes cases are fairly high but resulting hospitalisations & deaths were relatively low. Life would be as pretty much as normal as can be.
We’re now in a position where we have a relatively unknown new variant to deal with. We’re trying to buy time to learn as much as possible as we can. Was the timing of the new restrictions suspect ? Absolutely
Are the public weary and fed up ? Absolutely
Are we being asked to sacrifice a lot ? Not really (imho)

Having a regulation that makes mask wearing mandatory in shops (etc) but allows removal when singing is absurd. The current Plan B has very little value beyond the common sense wearing of masks in enclosed premises.

Totally get you, that is not the scientists fault however…. As I’m sure you’re aware/agree.
The messaging from the government is as always mixed and confusing, along with a weary & fatigued public well…..
