We were in tier 1, numbers still low in my area but going to tier 2 after lockdown. Not surprised as I think it’s quite sensible to try and ‘squash’ the virus further, in less affected areas before the Christmas easing.
I do think though that being a bear and hibernating until Spring is actually the answer- sleep lots, lose extra weight and wake up to the Spring and hopefully better days.
