england, would probably tell you there would only be restrictions if we start to see a dramatic rise in hospitalizations, because that's sort of the key metric that they're keeping an eye on right now. they're more consent to sort of let cases rise, and they are rising at a pretty incredible, frightening pace right now. you mentioned a record on christmas eve. the latest government estimates are that 1 in 35 people in england have the virus. that's 1 in 20 in london. the sort of omicron epicenter. while across the country, hospitalizations are maybe starting to tick up ever so slightly, they are not matching, not even close to matching the huge spike in cases. so keep an eye on the hospitalizations. keep an eye on the deaths as well. i think the government from this standpoint, at this point, feels pretty confident, given omicron is significantly less severe than delta, richard. >> so what happens next? the numbers are up. hospitalizations are higher but not dramatically so.
