Tougher covid restrictions - risk to hockey?

Thats what the government is saying but there is something that I don't get. Blood tests on the population in Gauteng (the epicenter of Omicron) show 75% had antibodies to Covid. In Britain the same tests are showing over 90%. The chair of the South African Medical Association has been saying its milder and despite the huge numbers of infections most cases in hospitals are incidental (i.e. were in hospital for another reason). Much fewer are needing oxygen or ICU and she even said that the elderly were faring much better than previously. The government is probably just being cautious which is probably a good thing but Im really hoping the signs from SA show this could be the end of this damn virus.
Just been to motorpoint and nearly capacity with constant mask monitoring but lots drinking so no masks but we were up in the balcony area with only 10 other people so at least 10 meters apart then on to porters bar, not a mask in sight, very busy, almost body to body, so a very quick half stood in a corner and left. Virus spreading heaven both places compared to IAW.
London Mayor has just declared a Major Incident in London as today there has been a surge in cases admitted to London Hospitals which are near to capacity. That maybe the first indicator of a lockdown coming this week, I’d guess by Wednesday. If there was to be a incident involving mass casualties they’d be serious issues.
Don't usually take any notice of "I heard rumours that" posts, but a lot of talk today amongst senior reputable journalists that from December 27th, England will go back to the old step 2 restrictions from the spring.
So that's pubs outside only in tables of 6. If that happens, can't see how indoor events will go ahead.
Appears more of a leak than a rumour, so it might have some legs. But we'll see.

ahhh right now i get it.
As with everything i always wait to see the official announcement as there is so much bullshit out there on the interweb and social media.
We've already seen a load of crap on here about "I heard a rumour" (not the Bananarama song) and "reliable sources" and nothing come of them and that's not just about Covid.
The odd few on here like the drama and doom mongering instead of just going with it and trying to enjoy life, must be draining for them being so negative.
So lets all just sit tight and hope for the best.

I'm booked in to the Hardrock Hotel London for their New Years Eve party and had a call today from them to confirm my 3 course meal order, sooooo........at the moment that event is still on but i wait in hope.
Everyone who has booked in has their own private table for the duration of the party and bookings only , no walk ins.
But yes the Embankment fireworks and events there were cancelled ages ago.
