"Scots today being told to stay home unless ofcourse they are outside exercising for as long as they like with no restrictions excellent message. . https://news.stv.tv/scotland/no-limit-on-amount-of-daily-exercise-scots-can-take?top " Exactly. Nicola Sturgeon is so out her depth it’s dangerous. Stay at home but feel free to leave your house as many times and for as long as you want. Talk about mixed messages from down south for crying out loud, look a lot closer to home before we start criticising others Scotland lacks a leader who shows any sort of leadership. We are lucky to have a custodian in office who has anti Westminster rhetoric in abundance Who’s like us | |||

"I never watched it as I totally expected it to be a cluster fuck and any way to do it differently to boris, she would do it. My question is, if the restrictions are loosened by UK Gov and some companies slowly get to open up their factories/shops/sites and you work for an English based company, are you then able to go back to work as your place will open or are you not allowed to go as the restrictions differ on either side of border?" I would think its based on location. So you will still be off work until the FM says otherwise. | |||

You follow the rules of your elected national leader. Johnson (twat) speaks only for England on business opening up. | |||

"Another 3 weeks is it? I don't think she actually said. She just said it will be reviewed as necessary. " The 3 weeks extension of lockdown was announced last Tuesday or Wednesday. If numbers - specifically that R number - goes down some restrictions might be lifted sooner. And that is now starting with more outdoor freedom while still social distancing. She still makes perfect sense to me tbh. An awful lot more than Johnson anyway x | |||

"With boris announcement I fear the 2nd spike happening as already on social media folk are saying it's over so more folk will be out and about.i for 1 will be doing what iv been doing since the start only going out to go to work and exercise my dogs.silly silly man "Boris is only going first, someone had to go first, it is stupidity to think lockdown would last till the virus was gone or for any prolonged period, other governments will follow. Criticise him all you want , lockdown has to be phased out and that means starting somewhere as said on a previous post , at least he has the balls to set some sort of a timetable. Other governments are bullshitting their way through not prepared to set possible targets . A resurgence of deaths will happen whether lockdown ends next month or next year . But how many lives will be destroyed while the powers that be don't restart the economy and get the countries moving again. ? | |||

"Just for our own clarity and for those who we often chat away to from the forums, after a quick check on all of our recent posts it appears we haven’t at any point argued or disagreed with anyone on the forums whatsoever, political or non political. "Lol I never mentioned anything about politics.
The last paragraph of your last post-
What’s your thoughts on the next few weeks? Opinions so very welcome, please no arguing, we all see things differently.
You ask for opinions and even state everyone seems things differently.
I gave you my opinion when you told everyone just to chill and get along.
Nobody is arguing, just giving an opinion. | |||

For those going out more to exercise are taking unnecessary risks in my opinion.

"The message from Scotland is a ton clearer than the message from Westminster. Not entirely sure what the issue is here at all. To make the sarcastic comments “stay unless you go out” and blaiming Nicola Sturgeon for that rationale is bonkers. Did you not see Boris Johnson yesterday?" Can I ask a question then, If the message is a ton clearer from Scotland is it the Scottish population that's thick as mince ? My rational behind that is simple, if the message is clear, why is Scotland's deaths per number of population higher than in England . Nearly double England's death rate per head of population. Secondly if the message is clear why did the first minister say scotland's spread of c19 is greater than south of the border and that's why she's not following Bojo's timescale. If it's so clear why is it so much more worse in Scotland or is NS playing politics. ? I know which one I think it is. | |||

Alot of mistakes were made at the beginning causing the rapid spread of the virus. People were going on holidays, nobody was getting tested and hospitals and care homes did not have the proper equipment to keep themslves and others safe. Alot has been learnt from these mistakes although sadly many lives lost. The virus will be around for years to come but life can not be put on hold forever. People are getting restless and worrying about finances, businesses and education. I feel it is time to move forward slightly week by week and hopefully people will be wise enough to stay cautious and remain aware that this virus is a killer. | |||

My main comment was that Scotland’s response is clearer that Westminster’s. The whole don’t go out unless you’re going out comment is magnified significantly by the Boris speech. Whether you like Scotland’s stance on it (personally as someone who is in the high risk category I am happy to work from home as long as possible - a luxury I am all too aware that not everyone has - however for me the difference between going back to an office too soon or not is a bit more life and death so I’m happy to a little selfish in that regard) it was a lot clearer than Westminster... which was my initial argument. I’m not saying Scotland’s stance isn’t frustrating for some... however the original poster was slagging it off for being being pretty vague. Vague was what we got on Sunday from the Prime Minister. It feels strange having a go at Nicola Sturgeon for that and ignoring Boris. That was literally all I was saying. As an aside, though, this lockdown ending is going to inevitable lead to another surge and a potential second lockdown.... and probably another emergency response in the winter... with smaller and smaller waves happening after that until we get a working vaccine out there. Of course our economy is going to suffer if we keep the lockdown and there’s not much we can do about that and people will need to start going back to work in some way shape or form... But more people are going to die and that’s just a cold hard sad fact. So if you don’t have to go out don’t go out. That much is pretty clear. | |||

It feels strange having a go at Nicola Sturgeon for that and ignoring Boris. That was literally all I was saying. As an aside, though, this lockdown ending is going to inevitable lead to another surge and a potential second lockdown.... and probably another emergency response in the winter... with smaller and smaller waves happening after that until we get a working vaccine out there. Of course our economy is going to suffer if we keep the lockdown and there’s not much we can do about that and people will need to start going back to work in some way shape or form... But more people are going to die and that’s just a cold hard sad fact. So if you don’t have to go out don’t go out. That much is pretty clear." | |||

"After decrying the “Stay Alert” message a mere 48 hours ago Nicola Sturgeon is now telling us to “Remain Vigilant” Sturgeons plan to ease lockdown won’t be a numbered document but it will be an A to E list and instead of being colour coded will have a selection of clan tartans just to be different " Yip your def a banger lol | |||

"What figures are you using to come to the conclusion that the Scottish death rate is twice that of England? You could be right but the figures I have seen suggest it is fairly similar per head of population " Scotland population roughly 6.5 million and approx 6000 deaths England's population 60 million roughly and total deaths so far in uk is around 32000. Doing the maths that means over the rest of uk there's been 26000 deaths. About half the deaths compared to Scotland figures per population . That's my take on it anyway. | |||

I think the official Scottish figure is under 3000. There are different ways of using the statistics but when comparing like for like I am sure the numbers for England/ Wales and Scotland are similar. Personally I would expect the Scottish number to be slightly higher as we have an older population | |||

"Around 25% of care home deaths in England were not attributed to care homes because the residents died in hospital. This explains why England's care home/hospital death ratio is lower and the care home death tally is lower. The residents were counted in the hospital death tally. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq2CMa2XzP4&noapp=1 " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq2CMa2XzP4 Correct link, dam phone | |||

"Well, well, well, 7 weeks and as we enter the 8th, Ms.Sturgeon splits from the rest of the UK. How pathetic! And as an aside, I wonder how an independent Scotland would have coped with the present situation? Would we be bankrupt?
No because we wouldn't be giving the rest OK the UK all the money generated from Scotland, Scotland generates about 7 x the nation per head of population
Scotland has already shown way more restraint in behaviour than the rest of the UK, I don't think she needs to keep. Repeating the same thing, carry on as before but instead of going out once per day you can now go out twice, but normal sensible behaviour still applies
But there's always idiots "Wow? And we wonder why we are in trouble. Please don’t believe any of the above readers. Do some research on the Scottish annual deficit. 2019. Compared to the UK. Please. Thank you. | |||

"Scots today being told to stay home unless ofcourse they are outside exercising for as long as they like with no restrictions excellent message. . https://news.stv.tv/scotland/no-limit-on-amount-of-daily-exercise-scots-can-take?top Exactly. Nicola Sturgeon is so out her depth it’s dangerous. Stay at home but feel free to leave your house as many times and for as long as you want. Talk about mixed messages from down south for crying out loud, look a lot closer to home before we start criticising others Scotland lacks a leader who shows any sort of leadership. We are lucky to have a custodian in office who has anti Westminster rhetoric in abundance Who’s like us " | |||
