Large numbers of cases do not necessarily translate into similar numbers of serious cases, hospitalisations, ICU occupation and deaths. Sturgeon and Drakeford obviously enjoy controlling the lives of their ‘subjects’ and are unlikely to stop trying to do this, even when the pandemic is over.
You say Wales & Scotland, what about the countries on the continent who have implemented new restrictions? Are they all wrong as well? It seems that England is the nation that’s out on a limb. The worrying thing is is that it’s the one that’s closest to us and if things do go drastically tits up there we’re right in the firing line. I don’t think it’s a case of England = correct, the rest of us = incorrect.
