Daily Infections per 100K in 7 days Update:  Another monster 24 hours for Scotland  as cases drop 5.58% and the infectivity rate plunges to 3.9%. We are down to 79.6 cases per 100K.  We are now down 73.63% in 8 weeks.   However still another 8 weeks till the Levels come back !!  Another 73.68% reduction would take us to around 21 cases per 100K.

Once again drops for 14 of the top 15 councils.  Stirling again still on the increase.  I think it is guaranteed top spot tomorrow. Shameful to put Falkirk into the playoffs.

Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan,    Cases that day were 16,496 and test rate was 11.9%

Total cases latest 7 days from 21st to 27th February are down from 4604 to 4350. The positive test rate goes from  4.1% to 3.9%.  Cases per 100k goes from 84.3 to 79.6 down 5.58%

England 107.8 to 102.9  down 4.55% in last 24 hours.  Wales  69.3 to 65.9 down 4.91%  in last 24 hours , Northern Ireland 99.6 to 96.7 down 2.91% in last 24 hours.   UK Average is now 105.0 to 100.4  down 4.38%  in last 24 hours.

In Europe (Above 2 Million Population) the Czech republic is in freefall at 770 from 700 when last updated, next worst is Serbia at 325.

NHS FIGURES :  Forth Valley  160.4 to 156.9 ,  Lanarkshire 119.5 to 110.1 , Greater Glasgow & Clyde 114.5 to 109.2 ,  Lothian 93.2 to 86.1,  Ayrshire & Arran  81.2 to 73.4,  Tayside 60.8 to 60.8, Fife 61.0 to 58.6,   D&G 35.6 to 32.9 , Highland 27.7 to 28.9, Grampian 28.5 to 26.5 , Western Isles  33.7 to 26.2 ,  Borders  17.3 to 16.4 ,  Orkney 0.0 to 0.0 & Shetlands 0.0 to 0.0

The Highland League starting back too - "for the purposes of finishing Scottish Cup ties"
I've had a long held belief that the first game back with fans at a meaningful level in Scotland will be an Old Firm Scottish Cup Final - an absolute nap.

Your on the glue now, That Celtic team in the cup final !!!

Silly question maybe, but given there has been no mention of any possible change to the election date, why is it considered safe for hundreds of thousands of people to visit polling stations in early May when lots of other public places will still be severely restricted?

This forum is somewhat reflective of a small, but not insubstantial, proportion of the Scottish electorate. On the whole, the forum is fairly strongly pro-independence and therefore contains many of the Scottish government's biggest supporters. If posters on this forum are starting to be concerned about the direction of travel, then I don't think it's unfair to assume that this sort of opinion is not isolated to P&B.

[Billy Jean King]

It's so obvious that the NS statement took the Mooths line of attack out completely. Great to see

There has been a big push of postal voting which is good to see, everyone should consider if, you can still have the vote in to any polling station in your local authority not just the constituency.

Also councils are hiring more staff to manage the process so likely to see more polling stations and obviously the count it being delayed into the next day.

It was really just a tongue in cheek comment and not an effort at political commentary. I am in the demographic you mention in that I'm pro independence and been recently critical of the noises coming from government in respect of emerging from all of this.

P&B is a key constituency.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a few MSPs, even a cabinet minister who likes football or Jason Leitch pops onto this thread now & again.

P&Bs main players run this show

A handful of highers and the odd degree in history, astronomy and metalwork, coupled with years of having pointless arguments on P&B roundly bodying useless shit like dentisty, a philosophy doctor (whatever that is?!) and years of actual experience working in public health. 

P&b 1 - 0 Pandemic 

Played lads. 

Pick your heads up on the way out

By that time much more of retail etc will be open. Don’t know if it’s just where I am but I’ve never been in a polling station that’s had more than about three or four people in it at once. Even in 2019, when I was living down south in the centre of Cheltenham, it wasn’t particularly crowded voting there at peak time. The idea that polling stations could be superspreader hotspots in ten weeks time is nonsense IMO.

Ms Sturgeon adds the average test positivity rate has also fallen and is now below 5%.

 

these are the misleading stats I hate.

It is below 4%

Just say it FFS

If she throws in the first three rounds after lockdown on the SG, she has both my votes.
