PM blames the rise in Covid cases on people breaking the rules:
"There have been too many breaches – too many opportunities for our invisible enemy to slip through undetected."
Individuals doing whatever they want puts other lives at risk, says PM.
"These risks are not our own. The tragic reality of having covid is that your mild cough can be someone else’s death knell."
PM trashes the idea we should just isolate the elderly/vulnerable.
"I must tell you that this is just not realistic, because if you let the virus rip through the rest of the population it would inevitably find its way through to the elderly as well, and in much greater numbers."
PM clear that he doesn't want another national lockdown, not just due to economic impact, but social impact.
"It would mean renewed loneliness and confinement for the elderly and vulnerable".
But he "reserves the right to go further."
PM really is imploring people to rediscover their collective responsibility and stick to the rules.
"Never in our history has our collective destiny and our collective health depended so completely on our individual behaviour."
