Billy Jean King Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I wonder when we can actually be trusted to enter the likes of a baker’s shop or cafe and buy a takeaway roll and coffee etc? I vaguely understand why the government wanted to limit movements and contact in January but tbh I see more risk with huddles of folk standing in groups and usually blocking pavements! I’ve seen folk with prams and pets regularly nearly getting run down by cars and cyclists, as they sidestep a crowd waiting to be served!Bakers shops here bar the big chains like Greigs are allowing you inside only cafes doing the table across the door thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably have been accompanied with specific advice to individual sporting bodies, and they've presumably advised the SFA that this is now allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may actually still be allowed for bakeries. I was picking up a birthday cake for my wife from a bakery (which was otherwise closed) and she mentioned that I would actually have been allowed to come inside for it because her shop was a bakery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to a few of the Baynes and Stephen’s bakers in Stirling and they all have the multiple layers of plastic screes at from door, and coupled with the doddery old assistant and myself wearing masks, it’s really pot luck what you end up getting lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean obviously that’s good, but if they are genuinely in the mindset of cases rising = more restrictions then that’s really worrying. I’ll hold back any seethe until next Tuesday though. No point in getting annoyed at the minute by little soundbites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - he speculated it may be a blip. Which of course it may. But he definetly said "we may need to re-think things" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 And also caveated it with they don't know how it will translate into hospitalisation and deaths because of the vaccine, if they don't follow the usual pattern (think he said for 200 cases it would be approx 70 hosp and 7 deaths) then it would likely be a good sign to keep going.It does back up the point that when you open, cases go up, a few weeks after our schools went back limitedly the cases have gone up. Imagine what may follow down south considering they chucked everyone in at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’ve read a few articles regarding the Rangers v Leverkusen game being the last sports event in Scotland held with fans. The Sunday of that week (15th) I went to the Emirates in Glasgow for the basketball final, nobody mentions that one -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that he thinks cases are as important now as they were a year ago.It should be especially once the most vulnerable are vaccinated. I can just about understand concern over new cases until early May but beyond that no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
