The Welsh Government approach to lockdown has become highly politicised with a focus on being seen to differentiate themselves from England (in advance of the inevitable public inquiry).

With infection rates now much lower than peak the 5 mile rule is causing far more harm than good. It should long since have been replaced with a proper test, track and trace system with local targeted lockdowns for disease outbreaks. Instead we have an unnecessary countrywide ban on travel which continues to cause psychological harm and economic ruin.

Covid-19 is a disease transmitted in cramped, indoor areas. Yet we live in a country where the government has made it illegal for you to set foot on Pen Y Fan but encourages you to spend the day inside St David’s shopping mall and queue in Debenhams for non-essential goods. The science tells us that healthy children under the age of 15 are more likely to die from a lightning strike than Covid-19 but our schools remain closed and our children suffer.

Drippy, Chippy et al are focussed on one thing which is saving their butts, fine but please stop telling us you are following the science when all you are interested in is following your instincts for political survival.
