Perhaps as the data gets better, and the vaccines take hold and the months get warmer, and the number of infections could drop away more quickly than anyone could have imagined, then we need the flexibility. The government needs the flexibility to revisit these things. What I don’t want to do is keep businesses closed for any longer than they need to close.
I am slightly worried about some of these thresholds because all viruses mutate, that’s what they do, that’s why we have an annual flu vaccine … If we’re going to talk about new variants, then I think we’re going to have problems, and that causes me concern.
