They gave London 48hrs notice that lockdown two was coming in 2 days time. ( it was a Sat at 6PM). Have a look at the photos from London train stations in the 48 hrs before lockdown two. The trains were packed with people heading N,E,S,W and taking the new Kent variant with them to all four corners of this island.
I also looked at the one third will die headline that's in people's minds.
With Dee due to travel I looked at the numbers. This is what I found.
For every 1000 people who get Covid 19, 10 or 1% will prove fatal.
For every 1000 people who get Kent Variant, 13 or 1.3% will prove fatal.
One third more people will die but that is a third of a percent not one third of people who get it.
The headline writers need to be very careful of misleading headlines.
