I didn’t say it was an either/or decision.

If having to wear a mask in shops and on public transport is the price for bigger crowds and pubs opening more or less as normal, then I’ll take it. 

Either 'we have to wear masks' or we don't get 'bigger crowds and pubs opening more or less as normal'. That's the logical fallacy that you are making here because those two things are not mutually exclusive at all.

I also note that she made no apology for doing things that the government "believe" makes a difference such as mandatory masks. "Believe". That word's there because there's no actual evidence that they make a single difference.

I’ve been critical of the slow ScotGov crawl back to normality but not seeing a lot wrong with this update tbh 

Can only speak personally but life genuinely feels almost back to normal for me anyway 

As long as everything else is lifted by August 9th as intended I’ll be content

Nightclubs can open but only until midnight? [emoji23]

Folk who go to a nightclub before midnight must be the same folk who go to the football before half 2:45.

In other words, OFTW.

I’d presume not if distancing is still a rule. Everywhere has a 1 meter rule now, so that nah increase the capacity for some but for many there’ll be no change.

No standing at the bar and no randomly just joining another table to speak to your pals as you’re not part of that group. Boozer culture being completely eradicated here.

She will lose my vote if the 9th of August gets delayed.

Yes- because we just don’t know that hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed if pubs were allowed to open until 1am

Don't you know covid is similar to mogwais.

That in no way suggests I think it’s an either/or decision. 

It means I think the Scottish Government sees it as an either/or decision, and that’s something I’m prepared to accept in the absence of being able to do anything about it.

This attitude has been a clear problem throughout (and to be clear, given your last sentence I'm not suggesting this is you)

For example, people who's life involves working from home, hosting dinner parties at weekends, getting their Ocado delivered, and occasionally popping out to nice restaurants and wine bars have never had it better.

As shown by the sports day tears, people are quite happy to accept indefinite restrictions being placed on what other people can do, so long as they aren't impacted.

The only thing I'm interested in is how many fans we get to have in the stadium next week and can I get a pint in a pub beforehand.

The last sentence gave me slight hope except that |I remembered that it means we have to rely on Aberdeen council and they are bigger fuckwits than the Scottish government.
