It’s not just nightclubs and live sport though, is it. Hospitality venues have been severely impacted by the restrictions and over reaction, as has retail too. As has peoples' mental well-being. This overreaction to Omicron scared people half to death again, so that they’ve become afraid of their own shadows once again, despite the evidence now that it’s 90% milder (which South Africa were advising before Drakeford imposed further restrictions on us). It might not effect you too much, but it certainly effects those people in Wales whose businesses are suffering unnecessarily. As long as you’re alright though eh?
So it's Drakeford's fault that people are worried about Omicron?
Seriously?
Do you have any actual figures on how it is affecting businesses?
I remember before Christmas seeing owners on TV complaining about the new restrictions - but also complaining that their businesses were quiet beforehand because people didn't want to risk catching it.
I've also seen businesses cancel bookings because they have too many staff off sick with Covid to be able to run their full hours.
The risk is still there. My dad's neighbour tested positive on Mon 27th Dec.
On Fri 31st Dec they were taken to hospital.
On Mon 3rd January they sadly died.
But yeh, people are over-reacting. Get out there and spend your money people before you die!!!
