They should be open regardless. They should be open now. The idea that its somehow in the balance for the 9th is both staggering and sickening Data not dates. Remember that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 One good thing about covid is the movement to more outside drinking. Currently in edinburgh and lots of places been turned into outside drinking places. I hope this continues post covid. Its fucking magic. Even in winter, if you can get it covered with some heaters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth has never had a large abundance of outdoor drinking areas. This has caused some places to actually work at creating outdoor seating and I hope it continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those with existing areas have found the space to make them bigger. I’m also a fan of the app ordering. No having to waste valuable drinking time queuing at the bar then shouting the order twice so it can be heard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Was this posted earlier? Another scare story the Covid Losers cling to that has been well and truly found out. Remember Sridhar publicly stated 'it didnae work!' against it and helped undermine global confidence in it? Particularly in her poster child Australia rather ironically, which is now coming back to bite them on the arse. (so-called South Africa variant, protection will be even greater after full vaccination) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the nightclub owners take the SG to court if they have to remain closed from next week still. Personally I’ll be very surprised if nightclubs are allowed to open as normal from Monday. I suspect they will be ‘open’ in name only with testing, table service and masks to be worn when not at tables.

Bearing in mind the main opposition party is currently the Conservatives, you would expect that they would quiz NS on what "for some time" actually means, and what needs to happen to see this rather useless measure binned. They won't though, such is the political nature of this pandemic, where every statement is carefully calculated in such a way to avoid potentially upsetting voters rather than anything else. ETA what makes this even more pathetic, is DR wants masks binned in classrooms. If they want them ditched in classrooms, then, given it's quite clear that children do actually catch and spread Covid, then there's absolutely no reason to argue for keeping them anywhere else.

Thereisalight.. Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Is it later today NS will confirm the lifting of restrictions on the 9th? Usually theres been leaks about what to expect from the updates so I dont know if the lack of spoilers is a good sign or a bad sign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely something relating to indoor hospitality or football*. Just going with the original plan doesn't appear to be the SNP way. *I'll guess one of either continuing to ban "vertical drinking" and ordering at the bar indoors (i.e. table service only), therefore maintaining a de facto level of social distancing, and capping football crowds at some arbitrary number below 100% capacity.
