I would think it's due to the amount of people that went that area on holiday
Cases overall down 8 percent that's with over a million more tests over 7 days 30k new ones today

The key point here was sacrificing social distancing / mask wearing at at time of spiralling infections into a county that has had virtually no cases throughout. And for that reason very low levels of natural immunity. Its ripped through Cornwall this summer (as many said it would after the G7 debacle set the Covid boulder rolling), mainly through the young and unvaccinated and the effects are far reaching, especially for a county that only has 1 hospital.

Usual stuff.They (Johnson et al) bleet on about hindsight, but those who have dealt best with the pandemic have shown foresight. An ability bereft of this shower.
The government did ask the public to maintain mask-wearing and social distancing rules in situations where it was sensible to do so.
Yes I take your point. But....256 deaths in double vaccinated in 7 months. Compare that to the thousands who die every winter from flu. Every winter hospitals are full of with people with flu and other communicable diseases which puts pressure on the NHS making it more difficult to administer other treatments. Why don't we place social and economic restrictions on the country to prevent the spread of communicable diseases every autumn/winter?
26k positive cases today so again the numbers surprisingly coming down

The listen to what their modellers are saying and put measures in place to make sure it DOESNT happen - or at least lessen the effects of it happening. They ignoe their modellers, cross their fingers and make it up as they go along. Or they listen to you.Personally I think they should ignore the last one - but thats not based on anything other than you not being a professor of scientific modelling.
