Just like how The Science stipulates that vulnerable-auld-God-bothering biddies don't need them anymore. Or something. But definitely The Science. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Any pretence that this latest check on normal life resuming is evidence based would be laughable if it wasn't so patronising, illogical and purposeless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Was at a wedding mid feb with 100+ and not one person had a mask on ( bar the staff) todays announcement is embarrassing (yet again) I wouldn’t mind the mask mandate ( not that I’ve followed it) if they could make it make sense that I can go to church and belt out Jesus songs without a mask but if I go to the local shop for a few rolls I’m suppose to mask up for the 30 seconds I’m in the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherchance Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sturgeon thrives on division - she knows even once this nonsense is binned that there'll still be folk snarling at others for not indulging their personal fears and concerns. The (justifiable) boasting about the vaccine rollout should have gone hand in hand with a concerted effort at emphasising how safe society is as a result, and maybe get a good chunk of those who are especially vulnerable and still concerned to feel less so. Instead, for 2 years any positive news has been caveated so much that it comes across as a negative and it just adds to the nonsense. Of course, I'd rather people weighed it up for themselves and engaged some critical thinking, but in reality the messaging from politicians does have an impact, as Sturgeon well knows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'm extremely wary still - but purely for the selfish reason that I've got a holiday to Jamaica in 12 days time - if I or my wife test positive at any time 10 days beforehand then we can't board the flight. Will be taking our preflight Covid test as soon as the 72 hour mark is reached a week on Wednesday.Fingers and everything else well and truly crossed.I can relax a bit more now - 2 negative antigen tests and fit to travel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Still very bitter about this to be honest. A really depressing indictment of how she sees the population and wants to govern. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute mess. The isolation guidance is contradictory. I'm currently self isolating. My symptoms started last Friday, I was tested on Monday and I got a positive result back on Tuesday. Since then I've been bombarded with contradictory emails and texts, some of which tell me to self isolate for ten days from when the symptoms start, others saying ten days from when I was tested. No consistency. I've just taken a LFT, which showed as negative. I'll do another tomorrow and if it's negative again I'll end my self isolation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not disputing that I also feel that we should have an end to compulsory mask wearing, absolutely. My small gripe was comparing someone telling us we have to wear masks when we don’t want to, to some someone who rounded up Jews and shot them. Nonsensical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
