Good, given their track record almost guaranteed not to happen then
While some schools haven’t had cases the ONS data now has the highest prevalence in school age children. Communities can’t reduce the figures with such widespread mixing and as you suggest find themselves stuck in Tier 3 forever.

Reading between the lines on the newsletter, they have one big happy hat on about the delayed opening and doing testing!

I think we have forgotten what the lockdown over the summer was like BTW - hardly any shops open, being able to exercise once a day only, etc. Tier 3 is definitely 'lockdown lite'
I think Pierre makes a valid point that for many the differences between tier 3 and 4 are negligible. I can go out for a meal (with one other household) venues close early and I can’t drink? Eh I’ll just stay in thanks. I’m not that big on in person non-essential shopping regardless of the pandemic and I still wouldn’t go for a haircut. My £12.99 clippers will serve me until I’m in tier 2 equivalent thanks.
