Sturgeon now admitting she didn't act quickly enough in late Feb/early March.
I don't rate her at all but at the truth drug is kicking in and she's being honest.

Bojo will never admit to being wrong

"It is therefore right that the government has acted quickly to avert significant extra deaths and levels of harm

Welsh briefing

In a statement the Welsh government said it has taken the "difficult decision to bring forward the alert level four restrictions for Wales, in line with the action being taken in London and the South East of England".

It continues: "These new restrictions will come into effect from midnight tonight instead of during the Christmas period.

"This will mean non-essential retail, close contact services, gyms and leisure centres and hospitality will close at the end of trading today.

"Stay-at-home restrictions will also come into effect from midnight.

"Unfortunately, we must also look again at the arrangements for Christmas – we cannot expose people to the risk of this new, more virulent strain of coronavirus.

"We will therefore change the current rules, which allow two households to come together to form a Christmas bubble over a five-day period, so that they will apply on Christmas Day only
