I doubt it will be based on cases. It will be hospital numbers rising beyond maybe 10K and ventilators over 1000 when they might rethink a few things.Where do we reckon the dotted line is for action being taken when we hit it? There must be a number somewhere that will trigger a reaction surely?
But both these are inevitable as we go into winter and cases likely will plateau not much higher than where we are as the January wave flattened at not much over where we are now. With more restrictions than now. Though generated hospital numbers were much higher then as we did not have the vaccine.
Hence the lockdown then and not now. Case numbers are not as vital as they were because the people catching it are much younger so translate far less into the hospital problems of last winter. ~
It is the transfer from them to older ages in need of the third jab that will be the key issue in the next few weeks. We need to accelerate that as winter indoor family gatherings gain pace. Or hospital numbers will become difficult with other winter issues anticipated that were not here last year.
