Well that’s Leicester going back in to lockdown, shops and schools all getting told to shut. How long till we’re in the same boat?

Stay safe people x

If we act responsibly and wear face coverings in public then we could avoid it. I’d love Scotland to be the exception to the trend of second waves but cannot stop the virus being brought north.

I fear it won't be long at all,I'm actually thinking of to keep going the way I'm going.

80 percent 2 metres rule and a few small bubbles, no mass gatherings more than likely

It's about time they locked Leicester down for their crimes against crisps.

Only need to look at the multiple status updates on here desperate for any sniff of a meet this minute! No concern at all . So I'm afraid I can see us heading back same way and back to lock down . Then it will be those who belittled the advice ,did as they pleased and went where they wanted that will be bitching the loudest

There’s no doubt a second wave is coming it’s just a matter of when, Would be better if there was more testing done so we could get an idea of how many have already had it so there’s a better idea of just how it has spread

I have said for weeks , I don't see a second wave. Only an occasional local flare up of cases. Especially now that the government is doing location specific lockdowns. And before you say that's just in England , our 2nd minister Nicola will follow that patern that's a certainty.

There are plans in place for a second wave. The SEC/Louisa Jordan remains on an active status. Medical support from the Army and Reserves remains active despite the drop off in deaths and infections. Yeah i'd hold off on a meet for a while yet.

On the contrary, I like wee Nicola, I might even support her politically if she just stopped trying to steer people towards a vote that has already took place. Add to that my personal opinion on her covid handling has been good but shes now playing a political game following Bojo's decisions roughly to weeks later. Absolutely no bitterness in the least. If she stopped trying to make a name for herself through independence I would be totally on her side .

Except she isn't really. The SG's route map she is following was clearly laid out. Have you studied it? BoJo hasn't got one. He just makes decisions to try and keep himself popular.

Of course, most of the exiting from lockdown was always going to be done in a fairly logical order. Pubs, bars and bonking random strangers were always going to be behind household 'bubbles' and non-essential shops.

I'm saying we had a vote, by your example we should vote on everything every year as new voters come of age.

Lets see if this helps.

A generation is "all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively." It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about 20–?30 years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children."

So by all means have another vote in 20 -30 years.

Oh dear, you do know that 1 man saying a generation out of context doesn’t bare fruit ?

In political terms a generation as defined by the good Friday agreement and the UK govt is 7 years, right ?

Once you’ve done some homework and understand the above let’s divulge.

Again, a generation in political terms is 7 years. 2014 + 7 = 2021 next year

Can you show evidence where the vote could only take place every 30 years ?

I don’t think wee Nic has mentioned independence throughout this, other people have, but not her. I think she’s done Scotland proud.

I guarantee that once the geriatrics start to drop off, the next voting generation are going to be a lot more open to the idea of independence. The whole world is evolving and becoming much more dynamic; younger people are speaking up and demanding change. Which is what we need. Especially after this shit show.

All you seem to hear at the moment is how people can't wait to push the boundaries of what we're allowed to do under the guidelines. With that mentality the second wave is more than inevitable, it's going to be far worse than the first.

Have a little patience, get your mask on, stay at 2 metres distance or more, suck it up, stay safe and show some responsibility. It's going to be a long haul.

I was speaking to someone the other day that of the opinion that this could be the second wave. Their thinking behind it was that this virus has been here undetected since late last year as a number of people they have encountered have been ill with similar symptoms to what this virus presents.

They made a good case for it but still said that they would still follow GOV guidelines to help stop the spread as they also said what a number of you have said that local flair ups are probably more than likely especially where areas are more densely populated.

I think for everyone’s sanity that maybe we should stop panicking and being all doom and gloom if we all do what we’re meant to do the sooner we can get back to normal, and by that I mean the way things were not this new normal where you need to sit 2 meters away from people and wear a mask.

292 confirmed cases since testing began , the lowest figures in Scotland outside of Shetland, Orkney and western Isles lmao.

Yet they get hit with more lockdown . I'm gueasing it's not political the fact this area is right on the border with England, call me cynical but the area with the lowest covid numbers, zero people in hospital compared to other health boards , this area gets hit with additional rules.

It's nothing to do with future politics claiming the only area Scotland had further lockdowns was next to the border with England. Of course it's not lmao.

Sry where are you getting the 11 new cases and 2 factories in the dumfries and Galloway areas information ??

I can only find info on a "complex" cross border testing that resulted in positive cases.

By complex it means there was test results from England included in these cases but we won't tell you that part as it's complex haha.

In 6 months time when it's all mostly blown over , wee Nicola won't remind you of that fact when she starts shouting about indy again, she won't mention the test locations or numbers involved she will simply portray it with a bit of indy spin. Remember Scotland was almost rid of the virus but the first place we had to reintroduce lock down measure was at the border as all those nasty English came up and spread the virus. And the sad thing is some people will fall for it.

. If she tries to sell her next election campaign on the back of a new indy vote she might lose more seats than she thinks.

As already stated in here people are tiring of it all.

"So Dumfries and Galloway have to keep the restrictions in place lol.

292 confirmed cases since testing began , the lowest figures in Scotland outside of Shetland, Orkney and western Isles lmao.

Yet they get hit with more lockdown . I'm gueasing it's not political the fact this area is right on the border with England, call me cynical but the area with the lowest covid numbers, zero people in hospital compared to other health boards , this area gets hit with additional rules.

It's nothing to do with future politics claiming the only area Scotland had further lockdowns was next to the border with England. Of course it's not lmao.

Ps for the people who like proof. Look at the stats on today's scotland.gov website and ask yourself why the extra measures in this particular area.

11 new cases confirmed coming from a hospital and 2 factories (don't think they're showing in your stats yet). They want to make sure it's not a proper outbreak, test all the people in these specific places, before letting them lose. Don't see what's wrong with that. I'm sure you'll have your reasons to question EVERY SINGLE THIMG they decide though. Your theories don't make sense. Nicola isn't doing whatever BoJo is (thank god for that).

Better safe than sorry imo. "

Pringle Google this story and ask yourself , does it sound like wee Nicola is happy that somewhere in Scotland thats so close to England should lead the way or not.

"Could Dumfries & Galloway lead Scotland out of lockdown" ?

So they went from hero to 1st local lockdown ? , yeah right !!!

Some figure for you to ponder

20th June to 2nd July positive cases increases

NHS Lothian +11 cases no lockdown

NHS lanarkshire +28 cases no lockdown

NHS Grampian +13 cases no lockdown

NHS forth valley +15 cases no lockdown

NHS greater glasgow + 39 YES 39 CASES guess what no lockdown

NHS DUMFRIES AND Galloway +8 cases makes scottish news and back to full lockdown. Please please tell me thats not political.

Did you watch the update today. Clearly stated number of cases and named companies involved. Also hospital on Carlisle where they think the outbreak started. Only 1 case. Also stated all measures are precautionary to avoid community transfer

You being for real?? All these numbers are going down. Yeah, there are new cases daily but it's less and less every day.

D&G had no new cases for ages and then in the space of a few days they have 11 coming from 2 locations. They want to make sure there aren't actually dozens (or more) people who aren't aware they caught it before letting people travel elsewhere. Since this virus takes a while for symptoms to show this has to be done by testing. Until results are back, people are told to stay put. It might be alright with not a lot of cases and they're free to go anyway after the weekend. There might be an outbreak, which has to be contained.

It's really not about conspiracies or politics.

Carlisle is in England and under different rules .

Your right it's not politicised right now, my point said when all the dust settles Nicola now has another chip on the table. Remember covid, if we had our own border controls then maybe we would not have had to extend lockdown rules in Dumfries and Galloway. People will remember the lockdown but the numbers as I shown above will be irrelevant. I believe it's all politics I'm afraid.

I apologise I never meant it that way, I meant it from the point that thier cases should not be used in Scotland figures, which is why they cleverly billed is as crossborder testing and a complex issue. I ask you the same question as Pringle, why is greater glasgow not in lockdown or in the last week why no added restrictions on 39 cases. ?

I ask you the same question as Pringle, why is greater glasgow not in lockdown or in the last week why no added restrictions on 39 cases. ?"

Because they are not a cluster of cases all connected. Easily understood when you listen to the explanation.

It was a cross border issue as the first recorded case in the cluster has traced back to carlisle. It's not cleverly billed as anything its stated as a matter of fact. There will be.more of the same. The handling of the cluster on scottish side is reassuring in the efficient and effective way it seems to be getting handled. We can only watch as it unfolds and hope it is contained as they are expecting it is.

The swift action gives me confidence that at least in scotland test and trace works, if reported, and testing capacity is available to deal with clusters swiftly. Targeted measures to contain problem areas are a positive in my opinion. Low case numbers help with this approach unlike south of the border where they either until a whole area needs locked down. They are living in chaos and will be for a long time I fear

Without knowing the figures exactly, I'd expect it's not in lockdown because 39 cases is in line with their expectations of infection levels and not a sudden jump.

There's none so blind as those who don't want to see.

Oor Nicola has finally initiated border control , essentially stopping D&G residents crossing the border to pubs by putting in local 5 mile travel limits. By the way it's not a case of he alone, have a look at social media, many people are going nuts over this .

It's OK your not alone , there's a few on here with just 1 brain cell.

Let's try one last time, what is described by the Scottish government as a small local outbreak in a small town on the border and a couple of small villages is deemed a bigger risk than a small number of new cases in a densely populated city in central Scotland surrounded by vast numbers of towns . Your having a laugh surely.

Statistics aren't your forte. You're spouting random figures which are meaningless without context. Both Forth Valley and Glasgow have much larger positive pools than D&G, therefore the numbers you quote do not represent a significant increase in the infection rate... less cause for alarm.

There's nothing random about my figures , all taken from the scot.gov website

If what's said earlier is true , the new cases came from 1 party now let's think about that . 8 possible new cases from 1 party,

44 new cases from potentially thousands gathered at kelvin Grove Park, blm protests or the recent George Square demos

But the area around 1 house party goes into extended lockdown measures.

I'm not sure if it's beyond your understanding, but as I said your numbers are meaningless without context. For example 44 cases in Glasgow isn't a lot compared to around 4,800 cases they've had. As with other instances, this will be my last on the matter. There's not much to be gained from arguing with you. A couple of short planks would be more rewarding.

"Nhs Forth Valley had 6 cases yesterday, where's the lockdown.

Guys the daily figures are there for all to see

.gov download and look at the numbers, even the 11 reported were not just D&G they used some English cases in their spin.

There has only been 8 new cases in the last 15 days Nhs D & G

Glasgow area had 44 new cases in 15 days

Statistics aren't your forte. You're spouting random figures which are meaningless without context. Both Forth Valley and Glasgow have much larger positive pools than D&G, therefore the numbers you quote do not represent a significant increase in the infection rate... less cause for alarm.

There's nothing random about my figures , all taken from the scot.gov website

If what's said earlier is true , the new cases came from 1 party now let's think about that . 8 possible new cases from 1 party,

44 new cases from potentially thousands gathered at kelvin Grove Park, blm protests or the recent George Square demos

But the area around 1 house party goes into extended lockdown measures.

Listen to yourself .

I've gave context all the way through, 44 new cases in a densely populated area of Scotland or 8 new cases in a sparsely populated area of Scotland. Which area poses a bigger risk to the whole of Scotland . You think its better to lock down D& G . Really. ???

"So Dumfries and Galloway have to keep the restrictions in place lol.

292 confirmed cases since testing began , the lowest figures in Scotland outside of Shetland, Orkney and western Isles lmao.

Yet they get hit with more lockdown . I'm gueasing it's not political the fact this area is right on the border with England, call me cynical but the area with the lowest covid numbers, zero people in hospital compared to other health boards , this area gets hit with additional rules.

It's nothing to do with future politics claiming the only area Scotland had further lockdowns was next to the border with England. Of course it's not lmao.

Ps for the people who like proof. Look at the stats on today's scotland.gov website and ask yourself why the extra measures in this particular area.

11 new cases confirmed coming from a hospital and 2 factories (don't think they're showing in your stats yet). They want to make sure it's not a proper outbreak, test all the people in these specific places, before letting them lose. Don't see what's wrong with that. I'm sure you'll have your reasons to question EVERY SINGLE THIMG they decide though. Your theories don't make sense. Nicola isn't doing whatever BoJo is (thank god for that).

Better safe than sorry imo.

Pringle Google this story and ask yourself , does it sound like wee Nicola is happy that somewhere in Scotland thats so close to England should lead the way or not.

"Could Dumfries & Galloway lead Scotland out of lockdown" ?

So they went from hero to 1st local lockdown ? , yeah right !!!

Did you watch the update today. Clearly stated number of cases and named companies involved. Also hospital on Carlisle where they think the outbreak started. Only 1 case. Also stated all measures are precautionary to avoid community transfer

Very well explained and no sensationalism. Not politicised from 1st minister or the medical experts

Carlisle is in England and under different rules .

Your right it's not politicised right now, my point said when all the dust settles Nicola now has another chip on the table. Remember covid, if we had our own border controls then maybe we would not have had to extend lockdown rules in Dumfries and Galloway. People will remember the lockdown but the numbers as I shown above will be irrelevant. I believe it's all politics I'm afraid.

Thanks for clearing up Carlisle is in england and under different rules. Although I am very aware of the rules and geography of the area.

Maybe if other nations were as cautious they wouldnt give enough ammo for the chips to be laid out at a later date.

I apologise I never meant it that way, I meant it from the point that thier cases should not be used in Scotland figures, which is why they cleverly billed is as crossborder testing and a complex issue. I ask you the same question as Pringle, why is greater glasgow not in lockdown or in the last week why no added restrictions on 39 cases. ?

Because they are not a cluster of cases all connected. Easily understood when you listen to the explanation.

It was a cross border issue as the first recorded case in the cluster has traced back to carlisle. It's not cleverly billed as anything its stated as a matter of fact. There will be.more of the same. The handling of the cluster on scottish side is reassuring in the efficient and effective way it seems to be getting handled. We can only watch as it unfolds and hope it is contained as they are expecting it is.

The swift action gives me confidence that at least in scotland test and trace works, if reported, and testing capacity is available to deal with clusters swiftly. Targeted measures to contain problem areas are a positive in my opinion. Low case numbers help with this approach unlike south of the border where they either until a whole area needs locked down. They are living in chaos and will be for a long time I fear"

very interesting, what you say on "Test & Trace"

I am a NHS Volunteer, I drive the modified transport vans that Arnold Clarke have provided due to the point that our ambulances can now only transport one patient at a time rather than 4 or 5 into hospitals.

We have only had 3 suspect covid-19 pick ups in the last month (in Tayside/Perthshire) where you pick up the patient at their home, drive them to a check-point, the driver gets out, and the patient is tested, all 3 cases were negative and they were driven back home, our test centres are sitting empty right now both in Tayside and fife

Media is making this out to be far worse than what I and others who drive patients into hospital actually see ourselves.

I personally think there will soon be more suicides and attempted suicides due to unemployment and loss of work once furlough stops

People are frightened to return to work right now for no reason other than media, obviously common sense is required and if you educate yourself and take precautions you will be safe

Should you trust Nicola, when she tells you not to trust your own family!

these are interesting times

Not in Scotland , we got superb Nicola

She managed to rid an outbreak of covid19 in Dumfries and Galloway in 4 days, given that the disease has up to 14 days to show signs that's fuckin good going.

Not to mention a recent outbreak of 20 in one location gets swept under the carpet you should borrow Nicola to sort out your second wave. She will get rid of it yesterday.

Iv been feeling like that through most of this lockdown carry on .I feel that, ,because iv worked right through this,like yourself, it certainly gives you a different viewpoint from the people that were locked down. I'll be doing it my way from now on bluebell

Sadly a second wave is likely, although most of us have been sensible and I think Scotland will escape the worst of it.

You just have to be careful, follow the advice about distancing and good hygiene and take responsibility for yourself and your loved ones and we will weather the storm.

Enough is enough, so in light of recent outbreaks, chemists in Glasgow, 31 new cases in an Aberdeen pub and STILL no additional measures, surely there can be no doubt in people's minds Dumfries and Galloway extended lockdown was a purely political decision to use in the future for political propoganda . If you can't see it now your kidding yourself on.

I don't normally share the political views of the Nationalist but NS has or should I say was , handling the situation in Scotland far better than Boris.

However, with the recent issues arising in Dumfries, Port Glasgow and now the Aberdeen area I think her veiled threats and rhetoric to shut pubs etc etc. if things do escalate is and will be too late for some people. One death that can be identified due her dithering will be her downfall.

The publican in Aberdeen, as shown by the photos in the media today,should be given a double barrel kick in the 'you know what's'. Greedy basket ignoring the rules and simply chasing the money at the possible expense of everyone. If they are in his pub or land and he's ignoring physical distancing rules then his licence should be revoked as well.

NS has to be more direct and forceful or all her previous good work will go right down the swanny especially if there is a death from her flapping about.
