Boris is desperate to be popular. There are enough oafs about who will be hugging strangers in the pub, safe in the knowledge that a vaccine is riding over the horizon.
Expect a big spike in January and February. The virus will go out like a lion.
Right, what do you want them to do though?
There is just no sustainable way to get through this other than a vaccine.
People's lives are being completely ruined. There will be no hospitality sector for a good long time after this. And that's people's entire businesses and livelihoods gone.
I can't stand this PM or the government. But I don't know what people want them to do right now. They should have gone into lockdown earlier in October, but at least we have seen evidence that the Tier systems worked in terms of limiting the spread prior to the national lockdown.
Surely that's the way to go now until the vaccine starts to be phased in?
Nobody is suggesting to open everything up at Christmas, and based on the Tier systems, a lot of stuff won't be. That's bad enough for people as it is.
