madwullie Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 We're not even in a proper lockdown. We've been strongly advised to stay inside but can more or less go out whenever we like and do whatever we like. People aren't being forced to stay in their houses therefore risking their suicide etc. France, Spain had proper lockdown. I'm 12 weeks shielding and have been up to my dad's a number of times for with shopping, to sit 3m away from him out the back to stop him from going crazy (all he does is watch sport and my mum died in August so he needs the company). Anyway, at no point has anyone, official or otherwise, intimated that I must stay in my house. From what I can tell, most businesses down the street are open. We are being advised to stay in the house. It's a minor inconvenience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer doctors already concerned about the reduction in/elimination of testing. Proper pandemic planning would allow such needs to be addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Willie Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 52 minutes ago, renton said: Have to agree here. The Scottish government has been reactionary rather than proactive at every point, and it's been majorly disappointing to see. Part of it is that Scot Gov receives the same professional advice from the same pool of civil service advisors, the other part of it is that Sturgeon is a naturally careful politician who really lacks a bit of imagination and who is very much a centralising influence in her government in terms of decision making. It feels very much like no one at any point in this whole debacle has tried to get in front of this thing, to focus on building up test capacity. Is it not better that decisions are taken in Scotland (for good or for ill) than the decisions taken in another country? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 During the lockdown, ive started doing more running. Been enjoying doing 5km at a time and trying to get my time down. One of my mates started following me on strava and then suddenly i have been nominated to run a 5k via social media (sent to my wife as i dont have social media). I have to run a 5k, donate to the NHS and then nominate 5 other people to do the same. What is this pish? I just want to run on my ownTell them to f**k off. You don’t have to do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Before easing the lockdown rules I think they should allow one weekend the safest sector of the population to do what they want, and force everyone else to stay indoors. That's everyone on the shielded list who haven't been in contact with anyone for at least a month. One weekend of beaches, beer gardens and sun before we're back in lockup for the foreseeable while everyone else goes out to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically though, the letter from the Government informing us we're on the shielded list would cover most, and if that wasn't trusted mobile phone data could back it up a bit. No way of proving anything 100% though, there's always chancers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) I don't think it's sad it won't happen. I certainly wouldn't want to be at the highest risk of catching the disease and then being told to go out and play because people were given a letter and told to stay at home and definitely didn't just leave their phone at home when they did go out.
