Detournement Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) It's obviously a pandemic. It's whether we need restrictions on the majority of the population for who it is basically harmless. The Scottish government completely failed care home residents but now they are banging on about everyone wearing masks. It's totally incoherent.

Right from the start supermarkets/certain retailers were open and were busy. Think they should have been worn from the start rather than 3 months down the line but what do I know How have you found wearing a face covering while out for the past 3 months? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I haven’t. I’ve never liked anything covering my nose, plus I’ve always questioned the logic of breathing in exhaled air repeatedly. I think the wearing of masks here is about 3 months too late. Just don’t see the logic when new cases and deaths are so low. Anyway, we’ve been told to do it so we shall do it from tomorrow You are not breathing in exhaled air repeatedly. There are many videos out there of people wearing masks and O2 saturation testers, and it makes no difference. As for the people who complain in the same sentence that masks can't stop the virus getting through, but they can stop O2 and CO2 molecules...SMFH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 3 examples of people who routinely wear masks for long periods of time and dont suddenly asphyxiate. Incredible that "breathing in the same air" has gained any traction whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhoo, with them having made the pointless separatist ‘point’, I’ll wager come July 20th the quarantine will be miraculously lifted. While our glorious devolved Government will have monitored the quarantining of the sum total of, ehhh, zero airport arrivals over the two weeks. Wha’s like us, eh???!!

super_carson Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Have they given an idea of when? My gym has an app all ready to take bookings to keep numbers sane but still no chance of actually using it.All that was said was it wont be before the 30th July, pending public health advice. Previously it was the 23rd at the earliest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he told me it was Thursday today I'd check the paper. Starting to see a lot of this where government advisors of all sorts seem to be very publicly misinterpreting their roles and instead representing themselves as decision makers. Leitch is there to advise Sturgeon on medical topics, but he is ultimately not the person who makes the decisions. Therefore I have no idea why he constantly makes statements about what will or will not happen in the future - it's not up to him. Just been on Twitter and seen another government advisor contradicting a Chris McLaughlin/BBC story that the SPFL and Scottish Rugby hope to have limited fans within stadia within weeks by talking about the current government routemap. Again, you are not privy to the discussions being had between any of those organisations and the people in government who actually make the decisions, so stop pretending to be. As much as I think McLaughlin is an overly credulous clown, he is not going to be reporting this if the person feeding him the story doesn't think there is some truth in it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is they are advisors. They offer advice rather than setting policy. Leitch has pontificated on all manner of subjects in a matter of fact way. 9 minutes ago, Tynierose said: Leitch is determined to make a career for himself as some sort of media personality after this. Surprised he hasn't been getting a fee from Off the Ball for his regular appearances and self publicising. His attempts at making himself appears as some font of information and sage is embarrassing. In view of his clown shoes performance he should be told to shut up and stick to his remit. It was also the faux hardman act at the start as well. Plenty on here were pounding their pudding over him cause he was quite short with people. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first Edinburgh v Glasgow rugby game is tentatively scheduled for the 22nd August, which based on today's updated roadmap might not be an unreasonable date for a test event for crowds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Oddly sensible question from Carlaw rather than the usual mindless moan from him.I think after the polls at the weekend he has perhaps realised (or someone has a word with him) that his constant SNP baaaaaaaaad strategy was not working. Today is the first time recently that he has acted like a political opposition leader holding the FM accountable and not a negative shit stirrer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
