gannonball Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Think @Div needs to pull the finger out and have Covid sub forums so we can have more GTF days based on tiers. Edited November 17, 2020 by gannonball 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the police or the army on them. Unless it's goods, key workers or people in an emergency they can't get in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Extremely deflating news. West Dunbartonshire figures dropping and people largely following rules just to be pumped into tier 4. There will be others worse than me, but I'm at a pretty low point mentally with things that have gone on the last few weeks and the thought of being sat in my house for the next 3 weeks is excruciating. I don't even want to think how I'll feel if tier 4 gets extended further. All to save a Christian holiday that I could not give a shiny shite about. I wouldn't be surprised to see rises in WD now tbh. Why obey the rules if we're just getting shafted into whatever tier Glasgow is in anyway? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't their experts claim there wouldn't be a second wave? I see also two other role model countries Japan and South Korea are back in the shit as well. I don't know. I would guess it's the difference between socialising in Sweden in the summer and the winter. I don't think they claimed there wouldn't be a second wave, the fact that the first wave ended simultaneously with the rest of Europe (also in Belarus) is evidence that restrictions aren't primarily driving the trends. Every country is back in the shit. It's seasonal now like flu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture: Gary Anthony. It's good to see also that 300 football fans will be allowed into the Caley Stadium to support Inverness CT when they play Raith Rovers. We've seen this happen up in Dingwall. Slowly the Highlands are opening up again. It will be good to get the Highland League back sometime soon. HFL 28th November 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Have some faith in Magic Posted November 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2020 Can anybody suggest any real area of society that tier 4 is hitting that will have a major effect on the rates? I just can't see it. Hairdressers, Gyms, buying a book or getting a new pair of shoes. Sitting in a cafe for an hour. It just strikes me as they feel like they must be seen to be doing something. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people who were ignoring household meetings in Tier 3 will do so in Tier 4. That's a small minority of people. If you start to lose the majority then the game's a bogey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uncomfortable truth that they still have a significantly lower cumulative mortality rate and a significantly smaller second wave than the UK still calls into serious question whether the UK's more Draconian nanny state approach was necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Crazy that Ballantrae is tier 4 and Irvine is tier 3. Ballantrae about a 15 min drive from tier 2 as well You couldn't have made a worse comparison. I can walk to North Ayrshire from my front door in about 8 mins. Unfortunately the line must be drawn somewhere. Troon to Irvine is 4m by train. A travel ban will stop no one. People here traditionally will make no recognition of current LA boundaries. If someone in Troon or Barassie needs something they cant get in Troon they go to Irvine, always have, always will do. People will not go double the distance to Ayr just to avoid breaching a non enforceable travel ban. It's human nature to travel to the nearest big town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The number 26 bus to Mussy will be rammed now. That turning into a desirable destination to go out drinking is one of the more surreal aspects of the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
