The last time we had this many on ventilator beds was 14th July. Similar with the number in hospital. The numbers being admitted go back to the start of July. I can see why they are starting to panic. The increase in ventilator beds will lead to an increase in deaths.

Covid: £1,000 - £10,000 fines for self-isolation breacheshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54221953
"So nobody underestimates just how important this is, new regulations will mean you are legally obliged to do so if you have the virus or have been asked to do so by NHS Test and Trace. People who choose to ignore the rules will face significant fines. We need to do all we can to control the spread of this virus, to prevent the most vulnerable people from becoming infected, and to protect the NHS and save lives", he said.
At-a-glance: What are the new rules?
- People in England who are told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace face fines of £1,000 - up to £10,000 for the worst offenders - if they fail to do so
- This includes those who test positive and those identified as close contacts of confirmed cases
- It also includes employers who force staff to ignore an order to self-isolate
- NHS Test and Trace will make regular contact with those isolating to check compliance
- The measures apply from 28 September and will be enforced by police and local authorities
- Those in receipt of benefits or on low income and who cannot work from home may receive a £500 one-off payment if self-isolating

I'd love to see how they will enforce these rules. For example those coming from banned countries are free to come and go as they please. The existing rules are that they can offend several times before they reach the highest fine, that's if they are on a random sample to follow up. They can keep setting new rules but if they want people to take them seriously they need to be enforced. They appear to come up with rules without checking whether they are enforceable on the ground. It screams lack of stakeholder engagement.20-09-2020, 04:18 PM

I think that Boris is overreacting now as, going by the figures, things are nowhere near as bad as they have been.On the other hand, taking this as an example:

What a moron .....
It's people like him who, given a "taste" of freedom, abuse the opportunity and who are, now, responsible for the "second wave" .....
On Friday, Marge was attempting to get back to civilisation having visited her sister in Eastbourne, her journey of necessity entailing a route through Londonistan.
As one might expect, the rail journey from Euston to Stockport was severely delayed by the ubiquitous 'signalling problems' which resulted in the few trains which did run being crammed full. Even Marge's first class carriage was crammed full (she intends to claim a refund).
In amongst the generally well-behaved passengers, she told me was a group of yobs who were celebrating something by travelling to Manchester for some sort of binge.
Unlike most of the passengers, they refused to wear masks, enjoyed shouting and swearing and generally behaving like schoolchildren. A guard of some sort approached them but, contrary to everyone's hopes, simply stood chatting and laughing with them.
Such people should be locked up and isolated as a punishment for their potentially dangerous behaviour.
In short, instead of locking everyone down, the authorities should concentrate on the irresponsible individuals and put them away for the protection of the rest of us.
