This is far more explicit - when pressed on the original circuit breaker the only commitment was a "review" - the opposition parties pressed on this today and she categorically said it would be lifted at that point. Do you honestly believe that if the numbers remain "stubbornly high" in these 11 areas in three weeks time she will revert them back to tier three? She can say what she wants, but i'm staggered anyone takes any she says re: timeframes of lifting restrictions with anything other than a pinch of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), it can lead to life-threatening problems with the heart and other organs in the body. Early reports compare it to Kawasaki disease, an inflammatory illness that can lead to heart problems. Quote Most children who become infected with the COVID-19 virus have no symptoms, or they have milder symptoms such as low-grade fever, fatigue, and cough. Early studies suggested that children do not contribute much to the spread of coronavirus. But more recent studies raise concerns that children could be capable of spreading the infection. Well then, out of the tiny amount of children who get a serious Covid infection, an even tinier amount get a very nasty side effect. And concerns are raised that children could be capable of spreading the infection. Call me astounded and properly telt! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not, but we all compromise at some time. In normal circumstances I can do pretty much as I want, which isn't much beyond travelling to daft football games and picking holidays and excursions to coincide with them. I therefore keep a low profile and try not to moan too much at festivities and parties etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 That is just total guesswork. The same way it would be guesswork to say it is children that have spread it to them, but there’s no way of knowing if a child has spread it to an adult.As there is no certainty that someone caught Covid-19 going to a pub. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with Christmas coming up. even at that I'd be surprised if the guy doesn't have any holiday entitlement he'd be able to use given the months of travel restrictions abroad... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 PS I notice that no-one picked up on the shift in position regards schools - Swinney making a statement tomorrow - will be interesting.I expect they'll probably bring the Christmas holidays forward to coincide with the planned end of tier 4 or at least move to a form of blended learning, fairly sure the chat was that they would let unis finish up around the 9th to allow for anyone to isolate etc before returning home so this would seem to make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be astonished if this happens, but we seem to have heard the same pish every month since the 19/20 season ended I agree with you in that it'll probably not happen. But if it were to, it would seem to involve premier league clubs (as well as others) and be across all of England regardless of their tier system. We often seem to trail in England's wake in all this, and this could be the green light / inspiration for the SFA to make some noises up here about doing the same. Its become abundantly clear their goal is for old firm / premier league clubs to have fans back first (or certainly not weeks / months behind the lower league and non-league clubs) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
