[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1015358, member: 58362"] 3 weeks is the length of time generally accepted to go from licking a plaguebearer to winding up in hospital, so it's likely that we're just starting to see the damage that Christmas did. There seems to be a widespread enthusiasm for finding a single cause to blame, I guess it's human nature to want to simplify things into easily understandable chunks, but in a problem that is potentially made worse by every single interaction we have, it's never going to be that simple. Surely both were a factor, as were many others. The other big one that comes to mind is the fact that the tier system that was in place at the time wasn't sufficiently robust (or well enforced) to protect against an exponential spread of the UK strain.
