Common sense prevailed in England, where thankfully and against the grain really (by luck possibly), the UK government made a balanced decision based on both the economic and scientific data. Even some of the scientists/mathematical modellers have now stated they were wrong about Omicron as their worst case scenarios, which the likes of Sturgeon and Drakeford have jumped all over, were based on it being as dangerous as Delta - and studies have shown that it’s up to 90% milder when it comes to causing serious illness. The case rates seem to be falling now in England and Wales (just as they did in South Africa after a few short weeks, who were surprised at the hysterical over-reaction here). Hopefully, Drakeford reverses these ludicrous restrictions in Wales very soon, before any more unnecessary damage is done to Welsh businesses.
