I suppose the data changes on a daily basis and the government have to react to what the experts are saying. The state can't legislate for people who take the piss, they're not in a position where they can be selective with peoples choices based on their sensibilities. What we don't want is very high hospital admissions over the winter leading to more death and stress on health workers. I've not seen the data, but if these new rules mean that some people don't die this winter and health workers aren't stressed to shit and back over the winter, then so be it. I'd rather we take a cautious approach, even if the evidence later shows that it was unwarranted.

I agree with you, but it does make you think about just two weeks for the firebreak lockdown which we came out three weeks ago today some seven weeks before Christmas - I think today's decision proves that the earlier lockdown should have been longer.
