Also they have said it will be data driven but will it be the same as last year, for example, was it not something like Falkirk area could not be moved down a tier as it was connected to North Lanarkshire were there were higher numbers or where Edinburgh should have been in tier 2 but they were scared everyone from Glasgow would go there shopping. 

If they say that the measures  are data driven then it should be black and white and not there interpretation of the data with caveats included

South Ayrshire will definitely not get into a lower level than North Ayrshire.

I know certain regions of Germany have in place no quarantine exceptions for anyone, even elite sportspeople, entering from "mutation zones" which is why Liverpool could not go to Leipzig.
I'm absolutely certain the UK Gov did not factor in foreign governments reacting so strongly to their baseless nonsense about variants.
Tonight is farcical a Norwegian team playing a German team in Spain while a Spanish team plays an English team in Italy. Utter madness. A wee trial for the Euros if nothing else !

Ok, but route map needs to make that clear.  Surely people and businesses would have a right to be pissed off if they have done right in thier area but can't enjoy the freedoms associated with it because of you neighbours to the north

North Ayrshire was in a lower level than South in the previous tier system? 
 

Unless your point is about who resides in NA...

Our numbers wouldn't be far off tier one a few months ago, depressing stuff.

That's my point, apart from about a fortnight previous to that last time SA was significantly less than NA, treat them the same until NA is lower for a short period.

Were deaths in 2020 really that high, or were deaths in the decade that preceded it just abnormally low?

That’s an easy one

deaths in 2020 were really high

 

And yet, looking at deaths per 100k, they were lower in absolute terms than 20% of the previous 20 years, and, adjusted for age, lower than 45% of the previous 20.

Depends on if you think there should be mortality improvements year on year.

A good summary of how 2020 was: "COVID-19: How mortality rates in 2020 compare with past decades and centuries | UK News | Sky News" https://news.sky.com/story/amp/covid-19-how-mortality-rates-in-2020-compare-with-past-decades-and-centuries-12185275

It's absolutely mind boggling.
There are people out there who clearly want SD to be permanent.

Planned the length and breadth of the UK. A quick Google search will show most towns and cities have similar plans in motion.

Absolutely mental. A monumental waste of money.
