So you quoted yourself and added mine on the end. Clever. My meaning was clear, if Boris was to only offer furlough pay to Scotland on condition that the whole of Scotland went to level 4, what should the SG say? As it's unconditional the issue doesn't arise.

😂 what?

You've had a 'mare. Take it on the chin, champ.

In all seriousness, those reports are devastating to both WM & SG claims that schools are safe, and the absolute lack of provision for any restrictions on them at any level.

That SAGE either did not recognise, or ignored the possibility, must also cast doubt on the reliability of their advice.

Pleased to see early years numbers staying low. I do love that state sponsored parenting.

If i'm not mistaken, the risk of primary school age children transmitting being lowest is consistent with early papers.

Years 7-11 (which, if i'm not mistaken is P7 - S4) seeing the largest increases, though, should raise concerns, given that the SG only intend to mandate face coverings for S4-6, and only in Level 3 & 4 areas.

Wasn't it over 2 before the first lockdown?

Scotland is 1.2 but northern Ireland is 0.9 but had the highest rates in the UK??

It was more the point that it's quite clearly coming down without one.

Maybe not enough. Tbh the only stat i believe is hospital admissions. You can't fudge that and that should be the control.
Once it gets to a certain capacity then add this to R number and lockdown that area.
A nationwide lockdown seems like a very blunt tool.

You can, if you test everyone in hospital weekly, and count each positive PCR as an admission.

Which is what we do.

Now, whether that was the initial intention is not clear, nor is what the percentage of 'admissions' are made up from people already in hospital is.
