Worst case scenario and all that. I don't think it necessarily means that all of this will be required in August. Large music festivals are planning to go ahead in late summer at full capacity , albeit you'd be more worried about cancelation than you would be in previous years when they were almost unheard of. maybe there's the Edinburgh international festival is attended by 98% lovejoys and this is the only way they will sell any tickets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I've to come back home to Scotland for a wedding in late June. It's looking like I'm not going to be vaccinated in time. What do we reckon my chances of getting over for it actually are? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 We hold a revolution if they don’t announce football grounds opening, that’s what I say. Oh and announce the gyms are closed permanently, just for the patter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I have no idea whether to take tweets like this seriously anymore. It's hard to tell who's taking the piss and who's genuine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I have no idea whether to take tweets like this seriously anymore. It's hard to tell who's taking the piss and who's genuine. I’ve generally supported the govt in their decisions. However if anyone is screaming we delay reopening they can lock themselves in a shelter and let the rest of us get on with our lives. Vaccinations are working. Schools are reopening and life is slowly going back to normal. I fully predict an almost normal summer. I can see why the Edinburgh festival etc are perhaps playing it a bit safer with capacity etc, but it’s easier to announce low and increase if possible rather than announce large and decrease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 [emoji38] One of the last nights out I had before Covid (it may even have been the last night out) involved a jakey trying to force his way into the pub I was in but being leathered by 2 bouncers.Brings a tear to my eye when I think about it. Fond memories. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It does now look like there is a complete lack of nuance in the discussion about restrictions being lifted, with everyone completely polarised as either extreme libertarians seething at the thought of just wearing a mask on public transport or handwringing Lovejoys wailing about people having the temerity to leave the house. I would have been happy with the timescales if the Scottish Government's roadmap had ended with a commitment to being back to pre-COVID normality but in the absence of that, I suppose I'll have to join the seething libertarians if sides are to be picked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently one will be located at Edinburgh park which sounds a bit weird. As much as I enjoy the festival, its full of weirdos so nothing new there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good news He's trying to save his own skin by talking up the power of a lockdown, because lockdowns will be looked back on as this decade's Iraq War. You can take that to the bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland's numbers yesterday suggested so. Should pick up a few reddies for some uncomfortable truths. Not good news Again, a complete lack of nuance. If you look at the rate of decrease of hospitalisations over 1 April 2020 to 1 July 2020 and compare it to the 1 January 2021 to 1 April 2021, they are both very similar at over 90%. We have had far more sections of the economy open in the second period however, and the real benefit of the vaccines should be seen when looking at the hospitalisation rates as restrictions are lifted and comparing them to autumn into winter last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
