No it’s not. People catching at Christmas probably wouldn’t be at hospitalisation stage just yet, and the next order of infection certainly wouldn’t.

    That’s from people who sight it before Christmas. Takes 3 weeks from catching it to hospital - that’s still a few days away

      And? You think the post Xmas will somehow be better?

        No it will be worse. The original post implied we’d seen the effect of the Christmas idiocy. The cases caught on Christmas Day would be ided about Dec 29 and hospitalised maybe about now and into this weekend The cases caught from Christmas Day and passed on multiplied to the school return on Monday. That political decision will have killed hundreds needlessly, maybe thousands, just because he didn’t want to back down.
