faraway saint Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 So, as of next Saturday here's what it means, not quite the same severity of the March lockdown but close........... Level 4 (very high) Scots in areas with severe Covid-19 outbreaks will be placed into near-full lockdowns, with restrictions on travel and instructions to stay at home. Restrictions on socialising remain the same as in level 3 areas, but Ms Sturgeon advised people to stay at home as much as possible. Non-essential shops and hospitality establishments will closed without exception. Hairdressers and other close contact services (for example, beauticians) will close. Homeworking is advised for all sectors with the exception of essential work, outdoor work, construction and manufacturing jobs. Non-essential travel into or out of level 4 areas will be prohibited and public transport should only be used when essential. Gyms will close and outdoor sports will be restricted to non-contact games. However, professional sports are allowed to continue. Informal childcare is permitted for the children of key workers, and formal childcare will be subjected to "targeted intervention". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than read up on it and form your own opinion, you just hide behind those experts funded by the Tory government and big Pharma Edited December 19, 2020 by Sue Denim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 It’s been quite clear to me throughout this crisis that the experts cannot be believed nor can they be trusted. Vested interests and political agendas are driving their advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 On March 20, 1345 a planetary alignment occurred that the experts of the day believed caused the Black Death. Had @bazil85 been around back then he’d have been castigating anyone who disagreed. “They’re better educated in their field don’t you know....” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Last post tonight as I’m off out round to a friend’s house again tonight. Lockdown rules are there to be ignored. Its been a fantastic week for the Buds. Enjoy your Saturday night and try not to worry to much about the pandemic - it ended back in May.

I'm a damn sight happier keeping out of their way where possible. BTW, I no longer employ anyone as I have sold up and retired. I could have sworn I told you that just a couple of days ago. Feet up. Coffee and cake. Delicious. You have sold your business that was making no money during a pandemic that had lasted 10 months so far Well done you Didn't know it was Asda that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for retirement only a few months ago he said that he could never retire early. Now that he is financially independent he’s going to embark on a new career in film writing/making. Good luck to him. PS I’m staying on his good side as with this lockdown I may need some bog roll. I can remember him saying earlier in the year the business wasn't doing good. If he can afford to retired good for him, since i managed to do it when i was 61 and i don't miss 1 sec of work. I have plenty of bog rolls so i don't need to stay on his good side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect Nicola to be introducing some tough new measures shortly preferably while wearing her red high heel shoes👠, if politix goes tits up for her she could always have a second career as a dominatrix - the sole remaining issue I have left is whether my sacrifice to Cernunnos should come from within my bubble or without.

Rather than read up on it and form your own opinion, you just hide behind those experts funded by the Tory government and big Pharma You have been wrong on so many fronts regarding this pandemic & we can now see you spinning any stats you can to try & show something that you were told multiple times in the first half of the year, didn’t appear to be the case. The cold, hard, reality is, there are people that know better than you, me or FS & it isn’t a bad thing to put comfort in their guidance. You’ve used Sweden as an example throughout, look at the state they’re in next to comparable neighbour countries. This virus is a killer, excessive deaths show we must take steps to control it, it’s perfectly reasonable to have a view that the economy suffering is a small price to pay to protect human life.

How many times does this view have to be shown to be wrong before you change it? - Hardly any cases late Feb/ early March - hardly any cases September/ October - hardly any cases mid December. Covid19 spreads with people in close contact & can take hold very quickly without strong restrictions. Why do you still need told that in December 2020? 😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
