RE: Lockdown from next week20 Dec 2021 20:05
I think some people are missing the point of the current political strategy. Dress up the wording, scenarios and possibles enough to convey what could be the worst case scenario in order to get people to be vaccinated or boosted. We are just far enough ahead of the curve to be able to ride it out without further restrictions if we get boosted in enough numbers. As I heard this evening its not about the cases, its about the consequences that cause lockdown. We have the cases but so far not the consequences and by 'encouraging' us to get off our arses and go and get boosted we are likely to avert the need for further restrictions as our actions will prevent significant consequences.
It may be Omicron is in fact the last hurrah for this thing before it is officially considered under new management.
