Re: COVID-19: NHS chiefs warn of 'third wave' of cases amid concerns over Christmas relax

Currently, around one in 50 people across the UK is infected and Prof Whitty told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "There's a very high chance that if you meet someone unnecessarily they will have Covid."

In a separate interview with BBC One's Breakfast, he said: "This is everybody's problem. Any single unnecessary contact you have with someone is a potential link in a chain of transmission that will lead to a vulnerable person."
No use telling the young people of today that ... they won't believe you .....

Health Secretary Matt Hancock leading No 10 briefing

Laura Bundock from Sky News asks if it was complacent for the prime minister to allow mixing indoors over Christmas - and if we are paying the price now.
Apparently, Hancock ignores the question and, instead:

Matt Hancock says what we're seeing is that "the new variant of the virus is incredibly transmissible" and is "highly contagious". The fact it spreads so easily means we have an "incredibly difficult few weeks ahead of us". It is imperative everybody follows the rules - and doesn't see them as a limit to be stretched.

"I know that's difficult but it's so important for everybody," he says. The health secretary stresses the importance of the public following the restrictions of the current lockdown.

Asked by Emily Morgan of ITV whether it was time to make the rules stricter amid reports of people not sticking to them at the weekend, Matt Hancock says: "We keep these things under review and we have demonstrated that we're willing to tighten the rules if they need to be tightened.

"But the thing that really matters right here, right now is that everybody follows the rules as they are today. And everybody can play their part in doing that."
Hancock has applauded the police for arresting two female walkers in Debyshire:

Derbyshire Police handed out £200 fines to two women who drove separately to go for a walk at a remote beauty spot

while, along with the rest of the government, totally ignoring:

'Patience wearing thin' with football after continued breaches of rules and protocols

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55615893



Frankly, I expected something more informative and less hypocritical and confusing from Hancock .....

Due to an issue with the processing of deaths data, the update for 14 January 2021 is delayed.
