A far cry from the 705 in Cyprus, so cancel your holidays to Ayia Napa. Wales by contrast is on some run at 13.2

Scottish highlights take your pick.  South Lanarkshire drops another 30%.  East Renfrewshire join the Covid SuperCigarLeague down 32%.  Aberdeen & the Shire huge drops.  Angus has dropped to only 4 cases and that may actually be less than a Brechin City points haul. Midlothian down to 2 cases. Borders down to 1 case.

The interesting one is D&G who were Covid Free a fortnight ago and now have Scotland's deadliest no go area.  More than Nits being passed around.

11 ICU beds being used from an available 585. 
81 people in hospital beds from an available 13,000.
Get the fucking restrictions lifted. 

This. It's absolute fucking nonsense that me and my two mates can't share self catering tourist accommodation booked for next week, until fucking JUNE when the vaccines (which we've all had) have been solidly booting Covid-19 in the baws solidly for months [emoji23]

Would today be the lowest numbers since the Aberdeen pub made Nicola want to cry last year?

It's been said numerous times now but we've totally lost sight of why we're in lockdown. We didn't lockdown to save every single life possible, we locked down to stop the NHS being over-run. There is absolutely no danger of that happening right now. We are churning out thousands more vaccines than we are generating cases per day, 2.7 million people is about half the country who have had their first vaccine which offers over 65% protection against serious illness. If there was a journalist worth their salt they'd be hammering this home at every daily meeting and demanding to know why things can't open. As it is, I expect more faux outrage about why wee Mary, 58, from Lochgilphead husnae hud hers yit.

What do you do when your cash cow died before his 100th birthday when you already have the t-shirts printed?
Naturally you still flog them.
 

Neck, blowtorch, etc.

[MONKMAN]

Dumfries & Galloway   10.1 to 16.8  Scotland's most dangerous neighbourhood. Upper Nithsdale with 80% of their cases

I’ve said for years that the council border should move so Upper Nithadale is incorporated into East Ayrshire, before the entire place is carpet bombed.

I stand by this 100%

Can I just check, are you comparing people staying inside for 10 days with the extermination of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of political prisoners, homosexuals and ethnic minorities?

No

As ever England are ahead of us. There's been 50 odd Junior Park Runs back up and running down there, although I've not heard about any adult events.

Up here, as you'd expect, absolultely nothing.

Would love to get back to Parkrun (or 10Ks - marathons beyond my clapped out achilles these days)

Not Parkrun, but interesting all the same (interesting in that England exploring these things, and Scotland  still doing the square root of f**k all)

[Bairnardo]

I for one am once again gladdened by the fact that we in Scotland are following data , not dates....

[Have some faith in Magic]

With weather like this for the next week or so the hospitality industry will be taking an absolute tanking. 

Its 10 degrees at best, probably feels like 4 degrees, it's windy and raining.

i'm also quite disappointed we haven't even attempted anything bar the pointless token of 300 fans in an otherwise empty stadium. let someone else worry about that seems to be our MO

Can't be too careful. There might be an as yet undiscovered couch to 5k variant that we don't yet know about.

Went for my first pub pints since 23rd December there, was great to get a real pint but by god it's freezing. Name and phone number wanted but done in 2 minutes so no hassle

In the gym last night. Mobbed with no one wearing masks and little distancing. Glorious to see.

Whilst it is good to see things reopening and the majority of people being positive about it, rather than handwringing about a third wave, personal stories like this https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/27/donna-coleman-died-after-covid-ran-riot-at-burnley-college-should-it-have-been-open highlight the need to keep the pressure on the government to hold a full public inquiry into their handling of the pandemic.

These two posts are a perfect illustration of the past year in this forum.
