It feels to me as though some kind of lockdown should have been put in place a couple of weeks ago.
Well, despite being careful and being jabbed (and in my case boostered) two of the four of us in this household are positive at the moment - it's really infectious. So meeting up is a very risky strategy.
I work in the NHS, in Central London. Certainly the NHS will not cope with current levels of staff sickness-most off work with Covid. This is why lockdown should have happened when appropriate; likely earlier this month.

As it is, hospital bosses around the UK are saying we will be paying for this in January, with surging cases--at even greater levels than currently.
No family Christmas gathering for us - eldest kid has Covid. This (+ve test result, now) might be a blessing in terms of not killing the grandparents.
I'm of course happy that my family can meet up as planned, but it's probably not a good idea to allow unfettered fraternising covid wise.
Bad idea. The Prime Minister is foolishly putting off the introduction of vital restrictions, all in a bid to "save Christmas"... and save face, after the Tories' by-election humiliation last week.
Bad idea. For myself I find a Zoom Christmas quite unthreatening, but I do realise that some people are desperate to meet and hug.
In terms of risks to people's health, the NHS and the economy it's a bad idea. Possibly in terms of people's mental state it can be justified. Keeping the back benches happy seems a poor reason to me.
Just my vote here.
10 cases in my area, 180 in my parents, so I will be staying put at christmas.
