DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 There is now growing talk, hinted at by the FM last week, that there will be a one or two week lockdown at some point in October to try and stem the cases. Details obviously aren’t decided but it would involve all pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops closing, working from non enforced, strict social distancing enforcement etc.In the article I read, schools would stay open. While this may be questionable from a public health standpoint, in terms of terms of the development and progress of this thread and the heads gone, I’m all for it.

Top plan, close everything for a fortnight then open it all back up. That will work. I'm sure businesses will love that. Last time I checked NHS was coping admirably so that's not a reason to do it either. Don't panic Mannering... I can see a significant amount of seethe if this goes ahead (I certainly will be) as the government specifically told people to avoid going abroad on holidays during the summer and to have staycations in Scotland during this time. If they then decide to do this circuit breaker during the school October holidays when a large number of people will have booked their staycations, leading to mass cancellations, I hope there’s anarchy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll happen. It's looking likely. I think our leaders have gotten a little power crazy. Doesn't feel like a democracy any more. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The circuit break isn’t going to work. If anything the idiots out there will go mad with panic buying thinking it’s a 2nd lockdown, and those with common sense will get pissed off big time. It’ll only happen if it’s agreed across the UK, and that’s not happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The circuit break isn't a single plan it's a range of options on the table of which some, one or none might happen. Grown men going freeman of the land because the pubs nobody is going to anyway might shut for a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
