IF Drakeford says...

[Eric the Half a Bee]

I think it's a fair view to hold.

It's only a few in the Drakeford circle that will know how true it really it but arguments could be made from both sides.

I disagreed with banning large crowds from sporting events. I'm generally happy with people trying to get on with their lives as long as people take enough care to avoid potentially spreading Covid as possible, particularly when rates are high.

If rates are high enough to be causing staff shortages for our essential services and there is too much strain on those, particularly the NHS, then actions have to be taken to avoid even more serious problems. Those actions should always be governed by scientific expertise.

What I don't agree with is letting the virus run rife around the population because it's just a "cold". It isn't.
