I think more restrictions are inevitable.
Hopefully once January ends we look back at data that shows we can move on now as itās become a disease we can live with even if large numbers of people are infected.

What are the chances of more restrictions between now and New Years?

Depends on ICU numbers & health staff sick leave
One way or the other anyone not able to work should be paid the exact same wage as they normally are by the government. Fuck 350 a week. And there should be an automatic 1 or 2pc tax slapped on everyone else to pay for it for the duration of the lockdown. Would have a few benefits of increasing solidarity and also focusing minds on finding solutions.
Itās genuinely disgraceful that a minority of people pay all the financial cost to ākeep society safeā.

I was referring to people who are close contacts. If they are testing negative I donāt see an issue with them being in work
it needs to be locked down now, today, then a gradual re-opening starting in August

OK, the line you quoted specifically referred to people who had Covid but were not āsickā with it.
Itās the hap, happiest season of all.
I wonder will boosters prolong this. If they do actually still do a decent job of preventing infections (not to the same degree as before) then the argument will shift to the more vulnerable population becoming vulnerable again by the end of January. 10 weeks seems to be the guess for serious waning of the boosters vs. Omicron.
Its absolutely disgusting vaccinating perfectly healthy people 3, 4 and 5 times when thereās millions around the world in poor countries more deserving

That would require a conversation about risk. The Govt will continue to hide behind NPHET

Thereās a good response there that many sickos are using this situation to indulge in their own sadistic tendencies. Just like out Les Miserables crew on here who were intent on cancelling Christmas. Shower of fucking Cromwellites
