Clearly most of the country don't want more restrictions which is absolutely understandable but Omicron is absolutely running riot.
78000 cases today is massive, a 19% increase on cases from last week and more importantly as of Saturday hospitalisations are up 10.4% so that's likely more than that given we have seen a huge jump in cases since Saturday.
Deaths are slightly down this week but that would lag behind hospitalisations.
Given >10 million aren't yet boosted it's hard to see how the current level of restrictions are going to do anything given the steep rise in cases even with them. Most of that rise is going to be from the SE and London as Omicron is only thought to be 5% of cases up North but once it hits there it's going to keep on rising.
It's an impossible situation now where people absolutely understandably don't want more restrictions but without it the trend is only going to go one way over a short time horizon.
Perhaps at the very minimum the schools should close for the last 2 days of term and WFH should become mandatory rather than advice.
What are peoples thoughts? Would people want some tougher restrictions for a few weeks or do we agree with the Tory rebels that enough is enough?
Boris is speaking at 5pm, we shall see what he says. Either way, getting your booster is absolutely key now.
