    Boris did not sound at all confident about step 4 to me.There is definitely a high concern over this new Variant from India.

    If he had he would have been accused of acting like some authoritarian despot. Especially by those in favour of freedom of movement.

    Similar remarks about our Labour MPs bring down the no politics rule and are removed.

    Trying to get my head round this latest Variant. Whilst most would agree the sooner we get back to normal the better how much scaremongering was there around the South African Variant,the Brazilian Variant,and now its India. Only the Kent Variant took way to many lives sadly. Unless hospital admissions drastically ramp up then the pathway back to normality has to be the best course of action.

    Suppose we’ll soon find out.

    I think it is easy to confuse “scaremongering” with “taking rapid action before it runs out of hand”. Though there is a case that more could have already been done to suppress this variant, and others.

    This one was the easiest of the lot in theory
    All the testing is in place, all you need is to put a country with a quickly spreading variant on the red list straight away.
    No impact to the economy, although awkward for travellers in needing to isolate

    The number of patients hospitalised in the UK with Covid-19 has fallen below 1,000 for the first time since the 14th September.

    This number peaked at nearly 40,000 in January.

    I see the doom and gloom merchants at the BBC are trying to “inform” the population about the heading Armageddon of the Indian variant. A lot of ifs and buts. Would be so nice that once in a while they pushed the positives forward.
