If it was to happen on Thursday it only shows that Hollyrood are as incompetent as Westminster.

For almost 4 weeks now the central belt has been under tighter restrictions and as of today the new tier system has came into effect so to go into lockdown 3 days after shows that the previous 4 and a half weeks have been pointless, how can anyone say Scot Gov are doing a great job when they won’t tackle the rule breakers and don’t find their new system a chance to prove itself.

Vast areas of Scotland no where near Tier 4 and needing lockdown, but there’s a sniff of some pound notes from Westminster and the opportunity to manufacture yet more grievance, so get back in yer hoose.

"No way is it happening this week watch this space "

I would 100 percent agree with you except for one thing ,Her emphasis was on furlough and the professor from Scottish health saying best to lockdown now whilst financial support available, I'm in shock we in tier1 and tier4 will kill my town quicker than covid would

I think we could lockdown again but only to deter people in the south coming to Scotland for weekend breaks and Christmas shopping.

Boris gazumped we nippy and her arse must be twitching as all the other home nations are in lockdown. However she is to proud to go into lockdown straight way as it will look as if she is dancing to Westminster’s tune

I also believe we should follow Poland and only lockdown the elderly and at risk as this lockdown could last to spring. Instead of paying billions on furlough spend it on looking after the locked down elderly and at risk

As it seems it’s the younger generation that is spreading it and not adhering to rules

Why not lock them down instead of hitting the elder folk who adhere to rules

Yes the younger generation are spreading it. Schools are one of the biggest spreaders and a lot of young people don’t show any effects of the virus. Are you suggesting we close schools and lockdown kids rather than isolate elderly? Over 70s are more likely to require hospital treatment if they contract the virus

Sounds less likely after tonight's news that furlough would be paid now OR future if full lockdown required.

The notion that it's all those naughty teenagers and twenties spreading is also been shown not to be the case.

Close the schools and universities, some expert was on the radio earlier saying 53% of recent cases in the uk came from places of learning, 250,000 people had gone through a london restaurant/bar chain since reopening and not one case was tracked to them, it ain't rocket science.

Closing schools is not the answer either as these children and young adults would still be allowed in supermarkets. Everybody is blaming everybody but the truth of the matter is that until there is a vaccine covid will spread.

I don't know what the answer is.

But I do know a hell of a lot of very vulnerable children get some respite at school from a chaotic and unsafe homelife.

Those were actually the first people I thought of when the schools closed back in March.

I blame stupidity for the whole covid farce.

We hear there's a killer virus in China

Tens of thousands are allowed to fly to the UK from

China

The virus becomes a pandemic in the uk ,

We split into our own we separated rules so we can show how good we are separately

Nobody knows wtf they can and can't do

Instead of closing everything for 3 weeks we hope people do the right thing and pay them too,

The fulough scheme should never have been.

Rules should have been vigorously enforced from the outset.

The minute cases started rising again , 3 week lockdown again

People would quickly get the message, breaking the rules meant heavy fines and ultimately back to lockdown, you would have shopped your neighbours if it meant avoiding another 3 week lockdown.

Eat out to help out , yeah fuckin right, let's pay people to fill restraints and pubs , joke

Instantly sack any politician for rule breaking as gross misconduct, risking co workers lives.

The whole of the last 8 months have been a series of softly softly mamby pamby fuck ups from ALL political leaders.

In my humble opinion

I don't think it's fair to blame the government. They don't have the resources to enforce the rules fully. I think they have made their position quite clear, and the rest is down to individuals not being selfish twats ??

Sorry but that's just impossible. What are you gonna do? Brand people? I'm 35, and you wouldn't know it to look at me but I'm vulnerable. What about everyone with Asthma? diabetes? heart conditions? obesity? transplants? The elderly? People with allergies and intolerances? The immunocompromised? Then on top of that you need to lockdown all their families? Just completely impossible to control.

Even then, you don't have to have any of these issues to catch it and evidence is pointing to potential long lasting effects if you do, including death no matter how healthy you are.

I know everyone's tired of lockdown but it keeps everyone safe and the anti mask bullshit being peddled by Farage is as bad as his Brexit bullshit.

The mistake here was listening to Farage

Also, that's the exact point of the lockdown. Remember flatten the curve? If the NHS gets overwhelmed a hell of a lot more people are going to die.

If we do its typical sturgeon trying to point score and outwit the conservatives for zero scientific evidence. Just introduces a new fancy all singin all dancing tier system of the back of special detailed scientific evidence that we must obey, then bins it because boris has done something MORE cautious. Yawn. Meanwhile businesses fail. When will people stop voting for an inept socialist party of idiots ..

Nobody in Scotland was even considering lockdown again until the smell of free money arrived. You make a lockdown decision _ased on public health needs supported by science. Not because someone is going to pay you to do so.

But if there’s a choice go off now and get cash for it and hopefully be able to work and earn just before Christmas or go off next month and not get any money right before Christmas I think most folk would rather go off now and hope the gamble plays off

I'd rather be put into a lockdown now. Then at least have some chance that I can see my parents at Xmas than wait another few weeks before she decides what to do. I've had alot of trust in Nicola sturgeon up until now. The difference between 80% and 66% is a massive difference to most and if people in Scotland don't get the higher furloghed amount because she's dragged her heels then I can't imagine she'll be very popular. No matter what we will be back in lockdown sooner or later to help the NHS cope. Winter illnesses already use alot of beds without the added pressure this year.

Free money ? you do realise we will be paying it back for years to come ? So its fair for England only to receive furlough and to hell with the with the rest of the UK, after all it will be the whole UK that will be repaying it.

Most of those currently in hospital or those who have died should have been shielding/shielded. I know a few who vulnerable people aren't bothering their arse which pisses me off.

Yes, a few without any (known) vulnerabilities suffer badly/die but this is a tiny percentage. Not enough to justify full lockdown.

The point is that the money spent on locking everyone down should be spent helping the vulnerable to shield. Everyone else can get back to normal and stop businesses closing, pay much needed taxes and not cost the governments any more money.

Anyone that is vulnerable and not doing everything possible to protect themselves and therefore overloading the NHS is just selfish.

Yeah, it's shit for the vulnerable but at the moment it is shit for everyone and it's still better for the vulnerable if the non-vulnerable are back working.

I didn't hear Farage talking about not wearing masks, if he did say that then he is an idiot, even if they end lockdown for the non-vulnerable, we all still have a duty to do whatever we can to keep infections down.

How are you going to police that vulnerable people are staying home? How are you going to provide for them? What about their families? Kids? The weekly shop?

Jason Leitch and the Scottish Government advised Scotland not to wear masks, have you forgotton that

Prof Leitch said that face coverings were helpful for health care workers as they are in close contact with infectious patients.

However he suggested the Scottish government would not advise the general population to wear masks.

He said: "There is a cultural tradition in Asia to do it. That is principally because they have had airborne viruses in the past.

"This virus is not airborne - it has to be spread by droplets - hence the social distancing, the hand-washing, but leave the masks to health care.
