Wee Bully Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 From the SG? Where?!2 or 3 times in NS’s briefings, it’s been made clear that it isn’t the only (or main) measure being looked at. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I see Leitch was on Off the Ball again today, saying the local travel restrictions will likely be in place until the end of April. By the end of the month we might have almost nobody in ICU and barely anybody in hospital, but still be unable to travel a few miles to the beach for another month Edited March 13, 2021 by Honest_Man#1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The driving cause of Scotland's case numbers plateauing - if not rising overall - is the growing number of cases in the 0-14 age range. Which is certainly strange given that 'parents chatting at the school gate' was speculated as being the real infection risk around schools. Or maybe, just maybe, an increase in testing of that demographic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a chance that I'll be unable to travel the 10 miles to visit my parents at the end of April. Either that, or it'll be the same as the pre-Christmas restrictions which everyone ignored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitch quite clearly stated it's a key thing they are still looking at, albeit not the only metric and it'll be a bit of time before they change that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given NS has fronted at most 2 briefings since revealing the roadmap 3 weeks ago (you know, the one with cases as the primary metric), I would politely suggest that you are, in fact, talking pish when you say she has said so "2 or 3 times" and using this to show that the mood music is changing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought current travel restrictions are to stay within local LA the same as it has been since before Christmas (only exception being Christmas Day)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, fair enough, I am losing the plot a bit as pre-Christmas plenty of places were open so the guidance was more ridiculous (e.g. I couldn't go to a shopping centre despite there being two within fifteen minutes of my house. Or that I had to drive 15 minutes to McDonald's rather than less than five to my nearest), rather than the guidance being different. That being said they definitely changed it. At one point it said you could travel 5 miles over a boundary for exercise. It's now only 5 miles if there's nowhere safe to exercise closer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it’s utterly ludicrous to suggest it’ll be another month and a half until we can leave our LA. Absolutely disgraceful if that comes to pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly inflexible and a preposterous approach if that's the case. The problem is that they won't though. Opinion polls pretty much back us being welded to our couches for the rest of time. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
