The colour system was set before Omicron came along. Now it's knocking at the door and we need to hold it back for as long as possible. While people still want to gather in groups, we need to keep control and orange is perfectly reasonable at the moment. It was interesting to see the news item about the streets of one of the Australian cities being empty even though there is no lockdown order. The people have got it figured out - stay home and keep safe. If only our antis could understand that the rules are just to maintain consistency and guide those that can't figure it out for themselves, as well as providing a legal basis to enable people to do it.
