Aladdin Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 As people have said, if the prevalence of positive tests in school age children is not rising at the same rates as other groups, not really any chance of school arrangements being touched in Scotland. Be interested to see if they can break down the percentage of adults testing positive between those living with school aged children and those not.Nicola seems to want to go one step further than Westminster however, so what is it that's going to get the hit tonight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure i'd seen earlier that Leicester has been under a pretty strict set of restrictions for months now and is still one of the worst places. Bolton was also still struggling. If folks aren't going to listen and do what they want anyway you're pretty restricted (pardon the pun) in what you can do to try and stop the spread.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon Nicola will go further than this... Going to be an interesting afternoon. Only had a quick look at the 'key' points, but seems like very little, how on earth do they think that is going to have a significant impact? Hope the Scottish Gov don't disappoint and act with a little more urgency. Though with no sign of furlough changing, what else can they do with pubs & restaurants than table service and shorter opening hours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the Prevalence rates a few days ago, bolton was at 190 cases per 100,000 people. To give an indication of how big that is, the airbridge that the government is doing with other countries is on the basis they are below 20 per 100000. Glasgow was at 50 and North Lan was 60 odd. Scottish average was 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Would it be an idea to 100% test a school or a few schools and parents to see how bad the spread is from kids? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are in a position where we have so many tests that we can expend several thousand on testing a school to check things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will keep the bars open but with the same time curfew as England. Maybe chuck in a 5 mile travel limit for exercise and non essential journeys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am shocked. Although the VAT paid by such places must be absolutely massive to the exchequer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As are the pubs being kept open, NS might go for for a 9:45 curfew. I really cant see a travel limit coming in though. Outdoor tourism in Scotland is probably doing quite well, I think it would be fruitless to stifle that.

Ivo den Bieman Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Think NS will be throwing some bad arras when she steps up to the oche at 2.20. Think socialising between households will be banned, pubs and restaurants may be shut, FE / HE likely to be online delivery only. The school week likely to be heavily restricted, too. Pubs, restaurants, schools are the worst places for transmission and it is mad children are back at all. I also think those of us hoping to see a football match this side of Christmas are likely to be sorely disappointed. England's cancelling of sport with fans pretty much guarantees it. I think in the lower leagues, HL / LL, and the newly established leagues below, are gubbed this season. Johnson's announcement was laughable. Rishi Sunak's bullshit "Eat Out to Help Out" scheme has actively accelerated the spread of the virus (£10 off your bill and coronavirus as a complementary side order). We're not going back to the "old normal" for a long time. But despite this being a hideous global pandemic, twitter and the Unionist press will be full of the usual knuckle-dragging Unionists wailing about how we're actually living in North Korea because "STURGEON RIPPED UP MA SEASON TICKET", "BORIS IS MAH PRIME MINISTUR". "WEE NIPPY'S ENJOYING THIS", "AH'M NO WEARING A MASK", "IT'S AWNLY A CAULD". The more we humour these cretins the longer it will take to get back to any kind of normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
