If somewhere doesn't have the case numbers then it shouldn't be in tier 3 or even in tier 2 if cases are low.The motto was supposed to be 'we are all in this together' - not 'the places someone picks out on a map are but the rest of you are not'. In a pandemic you ought to prioritise national unity not disunity.
They really should have created a war cabinet from day one and decided these things on the basis that viruses will never know they have crossed a border - be it from GM to Cheshire or England to Scotland or Wales.
Very possibly N Ireland and Ireland should have done the same on that island too.
I suspect the rest of the world think prioritising political disunity over a plan for these small islands as one was a very silly error.
If we go for a national tier 3 then the economy is stuffed. So many businesses are on the edge of extinction.
