Billy Jean King Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Ha ha ha ha, you're telling me this and not him. Are you two not talking anymore? Even so its not irrelevant because it all affects how fast we can get back to some form of normality in our lives.In that sense no it's not irrelevant. My point was whether the dip was expected or unexpected was irrelevant, either way we can only fire into arms what we have supply wise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Just now, The Moonster said: This allows football teams to start training at that age group, socially distanced, as they were doing for much of last summer. I don't think it's that limiting. Outdoor non-contact sports like tennis and golf have already been available for people. They didn't have to SD last July through to end of Dec '20. The point I'm making is that talking up the easing of restrictions in yesterday's roadmap is a little disingenous as its outdoor non-contact only. Under 12s have been able to do non-contact outdoor sport even throughout this lockdown. In a few weeks in Scotland that will be extended to u18s. But the sports involved in that paramter are pretty few - particularly in Scotland where football and rugby are king. But as I said in my post, I'm buying into the plan and I look forward to the end of April 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 "Stay at home" is in place until the week of the 5th April anyway, not 15th March.Correct but the rest remains true. It wont change the level restrictions at that stage as it stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Governor regraded (downgraded) me to Support Grade. Fortunately, my H&S work and qualifications made me a good fit to cover a long term absence, at a better pay grade, at a different nick*. That absence has become a vacancy, so just waiting for the post to go to interview now. Can't see too many others going for the job with Covid around, so hopeful it'll get firmed up. Weirdly, I'll lose money by getting it permanent, because I'm currently getting paid travel subs.. *Think Mulberry bush..

Yeh hopefully the new L2 is more like L1 and L1 is more like 0 and the new 0 really is or as close to 0 as we can, i.e continuation of hand washing stations & testing of school children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 53 minutes ago, cameron2000 said: Nicola sounding much more positive today good hear her mention again a solid chance of things being sped up and also talking about moving through tiers relatively swiftly in May and June. Also a good explanation of why no end date can be promised. something doesn't add up here. UKG are saying 5 weeks between stages to allow time to evaluate the loosening. SG are currently at 3 weeks and potentially talking about moving faster than that. Are they doing no real evaluation or is Johnsons 5 weeks the ultra-cautious approach? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I got my vaccination today. The army were helping out. There were no queues and everything went swimmingly. It was the Pfizer vaccine they were using. The army guy said the next vaccination should be within 12 weeks and they can’t guarantee which manufacturers vaccine I’ll get next time but that it’s okay if it’s a different vaccine. As far as I was aware the trials of mixing vaccine doses have only just started so I'm not sure about what he told you there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yin and Yang Asked about opening up for the summer, Nicola Sturgeon says she hopes to see the Scotland football team play England in June at Wembley but says she cannot give a cast iron guarantee that fans will be able to make their way to London. Sturgeon tells today's Covid briefing she hopes that from the end of April onwards restrictions on travel can be lifted in parts of Scotland but says they may remain longer for international travel. While the aviation industry is a priority and she wants to see people go abroad again, she warns there is a risk of allowing new variants to be imported into the country which could lead to another lockdown. "No matter everything else we are doing right now we risk setting ourselves backwards and tipping ourselves into a third wave of this," she says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
