Ludo*1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 2 minutes ago, Hedgecutter said: Having not been au fait with Tier 4 to date, I'm a little confused about the travel restrictions across council borders. Trying to look it up, all I can find just now is "travel in and out of Tier 4 is prohibited", but if the entire mainland is Tier 4 then that would be free reign across the entire place. As such, I presume there's an inter-council ban? However... my main question relates to my normal bubble which comprises me, my other half and her (live alone) mum, the latter of which lives in a different council area from us. I'm presuming that we're still cool to travel between houses in a manner that would normally be banned for the majority and that this would be allowed on Boxing Day and after Christmas? My missus lives in a different council area from me and we live in a bubble together - The advice previously was that we were exempt and I'd imagine it still will be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means you can only shag sheep in Angus for the time being. You might get more exotic breeds once an effective vaccine's rolled out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single uk government has made a total arse of this fiasco. Someome on twitter earlier pointed out that if it was 50 times as contagious as some have said it would place the r0 at around 60, which is clearly bollocks. 50 percent more is plausible, but given the timing with the vaccines and furlough extension it looks like an excuse to implement restrictions whilst they roll them out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The way this has happened, and the time of year... It has, at first reaction, the flavour of being very damaging. I hope they know what they are doing. But my gut is that they are royally fucking this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot believe this shit. Stop all cross border transport now and close airports to all flights. Get the schools shut now. Schools in Renfrewshire closed yesterday. Will be interesting to see how our cases/100k compares with others in a few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
