HibsFan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Can anyone hand on heart say that they expect Sturgeon, the SG and their advisors to suddenly have a change of heart at the end of April and accelerate towards ending any and all restrictions? Even if the data is showing that it would be on balance safe to do so? Nothing about their actions so far, right down to keeping almost all of Scotland in hugely restrictive tiers while cases were marginal last summer, suggests that's going to be the case. I think we're in for many more months of "we just don't know"ing and "we've got to be cautious"ing, and your best bet if you're Scottish and want to hug your granny again is that Johnson's roadmap pays off.

super_carson Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just reading through the framework just now and saw this in reference to social distancing... Quote In being open and transparent about the challenges ahead I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that some protective measures, such as physical distancing and face coverings, are likely to be necessary for some months yet, including for those who have been vaccinated. That's pretty vague to me, a few months might be May, July or even December. But does seem to suggest that it won't still be here into next year... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 6 minutes ago, Steven W said: That's not true though. In the Scottish tier system if you're in tier 3 or 4 you can't leave your LA (i.e. you can't visit relatives in a park who happen to live in a different LA) - but that isn't the case in England Johnson doesn’t say anything (as far as I can see from media reports on it) about lifting geographical restrictions and I fully believe if he gets told by someone that he needs to then, word or no word, he’ll impose them. The tiers may also not look the same this time as they did last time and geographical travel might be ok. We need more information first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafes being open is a slight bonus I suppose. quite the hobby you've got yourself there. Local authority jumping? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can see why a plan which only gets up to mid-April would confirm that there will still be severe restrictions by December in a fully vaccinated country. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she won't set out any 'arbitrary dates' for reopening: which must come as a great relief to businesses who much prefer arbitrary announcements by the Chief Clownshoe about which tier they've been assigned to by the tombola system, a few days in advance. That's a much more rational planning strategy. [/sarcasm] 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 7 minutes ago, craigkillie said: The biggest issue for me is the lack of a clear end point to all of this. I'm not talking about a date, I'm talking about a "at some point in the future we will be lifting these restrictions roughly in this order". The tier system doesn't do that, because even Tier 0 is still full of restrictions. There should be a very clear message that at some point, some time in the future, all of the restrictions will be listed, ideally with at least some indication of what is needed for that to happen. Aye, basically this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just now, Gaz said: I've no idea. They might be tweaked - who knows? But Just now, Todd_is_God said: I would prefer them to be renamed tbh. England isn't using them this time, and the last thing we need is confusion with old copies with the same name. That way it would also feel like a clean break. They need re-visited (and possibly re-named). I and many, many others across the country haven't seen parents / grandparents who live in different local authorties for months as it stands at the minute, never mind edging it out to the end of April. To then follow it up with Tier 3 (which doesn't allow cross local authority travel) for an indefinte amount of time is pretty harsh. I'd hope the tier system be tweaked to allow people to cross into other LAs in order to meet parents / grandparents in a park for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I think at the moment, is that we just don’t have enough people vaccinated yet. We are getting through them but the vaccine needs to be in peoples arms before it can actually start working it’s magic. If the programme is on course and the data coming back is good then I could see it being quickened up, definitely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we will be confined to own LA when by then the stay at home order will have been removed weeks before that. Aye the new tier 3 will be so much better than the old one, once they get round to scribbling the details on the back of a fag packet first. You are beyond gullible. 3 minutes ago, dirty dingus said: Stop being a drama queen. Busses, trains, ferries etc are on, jump on one have a wee socially distanced day out FFS. Having a socially distanced day out is subject to fines by the police swarming around two of the three forms of transport you mention (though not the disease-riddled buses that cause the problem). The idea that we must stay at home by legal requirement until April the fucking fifth is utterly risible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 In fairness I’m not too disappointed by that at all. Stuff beginning to open at the end of April instead of the middle of April like they’ve done in England really doesn’t make too much difference and I can understand keeping us in a wee bit longer until everyone is vaccinated, once we get to that point get them to f**k tho. Rather she said to us that stuff will start to open from the end of April and say there’ll be more detail about what’s opening when nearer the time, would rather that than be given pie in the sky dates and restrictions easing like they’ve done in England. The real matter for testing is how they actually manage the easing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
