Daily Cases Update:  Astonishing day with cases down over 8% in the last 24 hour recorded period.  How can Scotgov possibly not allow better than Level 3 to certain councils when the decision is made in the next week or so.  It is also good to see it is not just the usual East/West divide of numbers.

I miss these old meme and gif websites. Used to spend hours going through pages and pages of them.

Funnily enough first time I ever heard the words clown and shoes being used together to describe someone it was in a Russian accent and from Fallout 3. So every time someone mentions Clownshoes on here, it gets read in a Russian accent.

 

Here you go

Our government's offering under-30s alternatives to Astra Zeneca because more and more young people are realising AZ is low class.

Many people are saying this, lots of people are saying it.

Congratulations to the Tories of Dumfries & Galloway, they become the first on the mainland to go zero cases. Can they keep it going?

What about the many in D&G who despise the Tories and what they represent?

They also qualify for congrats surely?

If you mean you, definitely not.

Still cannot legally visit your family or pals outside of a bubble or have a pint in a beer garden. Taking the piss now. We're reaching the point where case numbers are not likely to go any lower for most councils and the hospital numbers are dropping all the time. Time for a bit of affirmative action in reopening gyms, pubs, shops, the lot.

More garbage fearmongering regarding getting folk back into an office:

My partner built a summerhouse next to our house last summer to open her hairdressing business from home and informed her home insurance - they adjusted her policy accordingly without fuss or quibble and advised her to take out public liability insurance which she also did.

Was sorted in 20 minutes.

There's absolutely no justification for it whatsoever. Everything that has reopened so far has totally sailed through the 'wait 3 weeks' test with nothing more than a slight stall in reduction numbers before reductions resume unabated.

Can't be too careful. We can't run the risk of a "grandparent's living room" variant emerging.

What do we all want bumped up into the next easement, I can't see a huge amount being brought forward but the success so far is crazy good barley see any hospitalisations as a result of the parties in George Square.

I would like to see

Outdoor sport, Outdoor entertainment, 8 from 3 outdoor socialising, 4 from 2 indoors.

I have used the steps that we will eventually pass in the route map but feel there should be no limit on the number of people in a garden etc.

And then obviously indoor hospitality opening on mid May and I would also ditch the alcohol/ no alcohol indoor hospitality rule it's either safe to dine indoors or it's not.

[The Moonster]

The only place I've seen these things called "Shoffices" are in news articles, and the news articles always put the word in quote marks as if someone else has coined the phrase and they're just copying it. I'd like some clarification on the first usage of this phrase so we can hunt the person down and burn them in public. 

Things don't always need new names. Home office was completely fine you absolute worst c***s.

I'd like to see the 17th May relaxations - or at least some of them - moved forward to co-incide with the 26th April ones.  If numbers keep heading in the same direction, by then we should be in the same place we were at the end of August.  It wont happen though, the SNP wont want to be accused of populism and trying to win votes during an election campaign.

Sticking with their current timescales regardless of the evidence in front of them isn't going to win them any votes either. What happened to data not dates?

But yeah if we're waiting until the 17th of May given the current data and its downward trajectory then that's just unnecessary harm to all of our lives IMO.

We will look at the data on those dates, totally ignore it beforehand if it is good and play it up if it is bad.

Clownshoes suggesting the Scottish Cup Final could be a test event for fans. Would worry that we end up with St Johnstone-Livi again and they struggle to hit even 10% of stadium capacity.
