Wife and I travelled by train to Glasgow Queen Street and we were the only unmasked passengers. On return journey in the evening all the younger people were totally masked. Again, we appeared to be the only unmasked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the OF are kunts they should be allowed at least 12k as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 12 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: The cynic in me feels that the SG are delaying abandoning social distancing (even with masks) until the schools go back because they know that masks are largely ineffective, and they would rather blame any bounce in cases next month on no distancing than again have to pretend that schools are "low risk" These so called experts appear to disagree.... "Calum Semple, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) and professor of child health and outbreak medicine at the University of Liverpool, said he thought measures such as mask-wearing could be reintroduced over the winter to deal with a spike in Covid cases. It comes as a fellow Sage member, Professor Graham Medley, said mask-wearing "probably won't do any good" unless it is mandatory, adding that the current Covid wave could last six weeks at its peak." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Masks are here for the foreseeable as they are one of the only things the SG can do to show they ‘care’. They can’t keep businesses closed or operating under arbitrary restrictions once furlough stops so I don’t see masks going anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a piss take that these are the baselines, but now it’s really for football clubs to put local authorities to the test and submit their proposals. Also if declined the clubs should release the justification so we can see just how daft it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers (or any other club) could do the same under the exact same rules, and I'd fully expect them to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely desperate for 2019-esque normality After the last year and a half if that is genuinely less than 1 month away I can square it away And it’s probably natural to look at every step forwards / back through your own eyes I can see my friends, family whenever I want, go for a pint, work etc Last piece of the puzzle for me is getting back to the football, if that isn’t next month, add me to the lynch mob list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doing something for the sake of being seen to do something? Guess if they're doing that then it might as well be something that literally no-one adheres to anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I really couldn't give a shit one way or the other about masks personally but I feel pretty sorry for those who are needing to wear them for 8 hour shifts at work - especially in a hot airless bar, must be hellish. Put me in the "everything rides on football in August" club 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 In fairness I think a lot of people, myself included, had no issues with mask wearing at the start because at that time, "We Just Don't Know" was actually true. I don't think it's that wild that, 1 year on with very little evidence of them working that folk are getting annoyed at the ongoing legal requirement to wear one to walk 12 steps to the bathroom when you're sat in the pub for hours on end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
