Massive spike of deaths in Jan and locked down till March.
But we can all have a bit of dry bird on Christmas Day with the in-laws we were hoping we'd be getting a year off from.
Get fucked, Boris.

We didnt see a rise in cases after the first wave... Why do you think there will be a sudden rise in Jan just because a few people will mix on Christmas day? We had people taking the piss during the hot weather in May and June. We had the beaches absolutely packed and other places like Snowdon etc. Protests like BLM and others in the capital. Far more people mixing in these situations than a family coming together on the 25th Dec yet we didnt see the rise in cases that everyone thought was inevitable.

All outside events though. Look at the club in Houghton. 60 odd cases from one person attending an indoor event.

All of that is outdoors.
A "few people will mix"?
There will be millions ffs.
Also week ending 13th Nov had the highest death rate since May in England and Wales. Should reduce a little w/e 20th but what do you think's gonna happen when xmas shopping starts in earnest on 3rd December? Public transport, malls, stores packed to bursting.

see your point, however all the examples above in may, June, July, August were outdoor settings. It spreads far more easily in indoor settings

Yea it was a genuine question. I hadnt considered the outdoor setting to be honest.

People expecting oldies to become students for a week and have loads of house parties
They have reduced metro services as well, so faces squashed against windows

In the main, only young 'uns have house parties these days - and it's not like any students who've returned home for Christmas are suddenly going to have a mass rave in their parents house.
Just look at how quiet the likes of New Years Eve is now, compared to twenty or more years ago.
Back then every other house in every other street had the music on, food and drink available for visitors, people going from house to house first-footing etc.
Nowadays, NYE is quieter after the pubs and clubs close than it was in March during the first lockdown.
You might get the odd one having a large get-together, but it'll be a minority. All this overly hysterical talk of mass parties and millions of people infecting others is just over-the-top rhetoric.
