Forest_Fifer Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I see the legal challenge down South from the hospitality industry was successful in demonstrating that the industry specific restrictions were discriminatory. No more requirements to order food with alcohol, and no more curfews, unless the Government can provide proof these are beneficial (i.e. "drunk people can't social distance" isn't enough). I will assume the verdict has no direct bearing up here, but I wonder if the SG will avoid such petty restrictions this time round.Johnson announced last week that there would be no more curfews, or requirements for food. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get you all want an end to restrictions (no, that doesn’t make a Tory) but losing your collective minds before actually knowing the facts isn’t going to do any good. It’s funny how one post can set off a chain reaction of moon howlers completely losing the plot. I’d bet a substantial number of those didn’t even bother to click the link and realise it’s an article written taking absolutely no new information into account.

Arch Stanton Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 8 minutes ago, Have some faith in Magic said: Will the lateral flow tests be included in these figures? If they are then we are going to be shut forever. I would like to think there will be some clarification from the govt today about this BBC story being a lot of pish and these indicators will have a much lower weighting than before. But it's not a load of pish, I already posted a table from the framework document published on 23/2 by the SNP which is where the BBC have obtained their story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Still on the coronavirus theme but on a different note, it always brings a smile to my face when I read about the privileged middle classes being given a wee taste of reality and how they deal (fail to deal) with it. They obviously just don't know that this is the harsh reality in the real world for the rest of us. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56236997 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) People getting jumpy about case numbers per 100k etc. What is 100% in the framework is the R rate has to stay below 1. Now I'm no statistician but I can only see the R number continually popping above 1 when we get down to low case numbers. They do appear to have pushed themselves into a tight corner.

Now I'm no statistician but I can only see the R number continually popping above 1 when we get down to low case numbers. Indeed, I recall last summer we were being told that at low case loads, R is no longer relevant because of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surely a self fulfilling prophecy in as much as the lower instance per 100k that we get, the easier it is to identify and control outbreaks and nip them in the bud as it were. Pretty sure we got well below the magic 20 mark last summer and that was without the vaccine, so we should all be very hopeful of surpassing the low rates of last summer, with or without the evil "mutant" variants.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined to agree with this, though I imagine most concerns are to do with them keeping restrictions like SD in place longer than required (meaning a sanitised experience / harder for hospitality venues etc) and then shitting the bed after summer and putting restrictions back in place for no real reason.
