The Five Level spells Danger by Foxymoron

I recently learnt that there are five levels of Covid-19 alert, and we have not yet reached level 5, which is defined (by the government) as follows:

Level five (red)

Infection spreading at a highly dangerous rate, with the R number significantly above one. The NHS would be overwhelmed with patients, with many hospitals over capacity. This is the situation the Government has managed to avoid so far with it's 'Protect the NHS' strategy.

We would have done well to avoid the five level today on a hand in the Woodberry IMP pairs, but the lure of a potential slam was just too great.

The East hand is awkward after a 1S response to 1C. We were not playing any artificial forcing raise such as 2NT, which (I think) I was playing with David Burn on Saturday when we played a very enjoyable friendly match against Manchester. Here East decided to "make up" 4C which I don't think is right. That should be more like KQxx x Ax AKxxxx as a minimum, and I think West is worth a cue now, despite the potential duplication in hearts. East has probably done enough but pressed on. RKCB showed that there were two key cards missing and East then signed off, at the dangerous five-level. David Burn did well to lead a diamond, and I won and thought that I saw a better line than the trump finesse. I cashed the ace of hearts, crossed to the ace of spades, and discarded a diamond on the king of hearts before playing a second spade. Sadly South had Kx of spades and Frances Loughridge lost no time in giving her partner a club ruff for one off and a double-digit gain. 

An amusing hand. If you overbid to Six Spades, you are forced to make it, as you now need the trump finesse, as well as no club ruff on the go.
