Not acceptable they say they say we are led by the data then don't define what it is that's driving their decision making. That will give licence to Whitty/Valence/Hancock to extend moving to next stage on their whims. Personally this is worse than the PPE debacle information not being published.I wouldn’t publish it if I was them either. Hostage to fortune. If you say ‘hospital occupancy needs to be less than 3,000 to enable Step 2’, and on D Day it’s 3,001, what do you do? (Rhetorical question).
To address your question above this could have been managed with staying below a threshold level for a period of say 7 days before you move to next stage. It would also have had a counterbalance that if the case level moved above a certain threshold for 7 days you have to return to previous stage.
What we have here is politically driven and has dates that they told us for last month it wouldn't have. All this is to make Boris and his cronies look good and as usual the bulk of the British public have bought it and in doing so driven another nail in the coffin of our freedoms.
Then next week Rishi will come over the hill on another white horse splurging billions more propping up the economy and when they come knocking next year for the repayment it will be the same people that get stitched up not there rich mates.
