Are we not grown up to be told that when the numbers get to ‘this’ we can have ‘that’? Treating us like kids im afraid.

yes there have been plenty of dickish behaviour by the public but its a tiny minority and the vast majority have been good little girls and boys

Yes, I’ve said all along that instead of promising certain things by certain dates, they should be promising things based on case/hospitalisation numbers. I don’t know why they haven’t done this and it does bug me.

But as they are not going to do this, we are going to have to work it out ourselves. 5000 cases a day / 15000 in hospital are the levels I guess where we’ll see a shift in policy.

Yep. And the way case numbers have been coming down, we might be close to that 5000 a day figure by the time the road map out of lockdown is announced in 12 days time. If we are at around 5000 daily cases on the 22nd Feb then it’ll be interesting to see what is in the announcement.

I think the base room cost is negated as they iirc are decided on overhead and %occupancy.

The hotel has far more greater costs to enable them to accommodate and isolate members of the public. As I pointed out this morning, the boss has said that insurance is a huge uplift on him.

They also have to provide (on top of normal facilities), 3 meals per day, 24/7 security in sufficient numbers wrt numbers of guests. I don't know for sure, but would suspect staff will be looking for bonuses or enhanced rates due to the risks. Cleaning will have to be more regular and thorough too, so all in all, it is not difficult to see why costs are high.

Now I was told food wasn’t in the price so fair enough if it is
 
I will also add that whilst I’ve been annoyed at a lot of aspects of the government’s handling of the pandemic, I don’t for one minute believe that they are keeping us penned in as some petty show of power. It’s simply that they are not yet in a position to give any solid info.

I’m not sure they will be ready to tell us what we can do for our holidays on 22nd Feb, it’s too far out to put anything converter in place. However, like last year, I think things will change rapidly on this front in June/July
