For me, it is more the inept leadership, lax messaging (which leads to more deaths) and complete U turns impacting peoples plans which is annoying. It was entirely predictable.

We have record cases and one of the highest rates in Europe I believe. The Welsh Government post circuit break have been every bit as incompetent as the UK government when the message was we’ve taken action early to save Christmas when the data suggested it was never going to be enough. This new strain and the UK announcement has given them the cover to do what should have been done 2 weeks ago - they’ll be using it just as much as Boris.
Yeah, better she waits until Scotland becomes a shit show again with the new strain running around. Did you not see all the idiots from Glasgow flocking to Edinburgh during Glasgows tier 4? And low and behold Edinburghs numbers went up shortly afterwards. Once again, you wanna blame people for lock downs, you can point that finger squarely at the people not doing the basics to help avoid the spread of this thing. Wearing a mask, staying apart, staying home when feeling sick etc etc. Its a pain in the arse, but its a much much less pain in the arse than constant lock downs. We only have those of us who dont want to do the basics to blame anytime someone says lock down. Dumfries and Galloway had like 1 new infection and they will be going in to lock down as well because people in other areas cant be trusted to just stay in their own area during a lock down. Selfish people are dragging this out, and its high time they started being pointed at and shamed for it.

The message/instruction was obviously wrong from the very start. You cannot ease lockdown from December 2nd and have a 5 day Christmas with mixing households! Just look at other countries plans for comparison.
No argument from me that there’s incompetence all round. I don’t think this new strain is a sideshow though. Sturgeon just said it’s the most serious moment of the whole pandemic.
Yeah I saw that. Whitty rejected that when he was asked that question though and said with the vaccine and treatments we’re in a far better position with better days ahead. I’m not saying there isn’t a new strain and it may well be highly contagious but there’s no doubt regardless of whether there was one or not announcing the 5 day jolly that early was ridiculous and I think all leaders were looking for a way out of it but politically didn’t think they could.
God, let’s hope so.
what's your problem? What is nonsense or bollocks?

Yikes.
You see this said a lot, despite how utterly ridiculous it is. People are allowed to criticise our Governments mishandling of the pandemic without offering themselves as an alternative to the prime minister.
The Oxford vaccine trial went wrong? I thought it was about to be approved for use?
It might be for the last time for many older people, yes
Personally I don't think it's that. I think people are quite rightly annoyed at how the government has dealt with this from start to finish.
