I'd say they're all arguably being met.
To be honest, I would too.
I'm far from anti-lockdown (although I've absolutely hated it), but the pulling of the narrative away from "lockdown to prevent deaths"/"lockdown to prevent the NHS from becoming overwhelmed" towards "lockdown to stop the emergence of a non-existent and hypothetical variant" is problematic, imho.
Anyway, I hope the hospitalisations and deaths remain low.

It's worth looking at the "four tests" that were announced alongside "data not dates":

They're all entirely subjective, and none of them consider raw number of cases or general suffering. I'd say they're all arguably being met.
