Both Scotland and England allowed indoor household gatherings on the same day, 17th May, and in both cases the need for physical distancing inside homes was scrapped. If anything, England’s rules are more relaxed given: - Hugging is allowed in all settings, not just private homes. In England a group attending a pub together do not need to sit 1m apart, only distancing is BETWEEN the tables. - Scotland allow 6 people to mix indoors but with a 3 household limit. England has the more simple rule of 6 with no differentiation on how many households are within the 6. come on mate, who actually enforces/ adheres to the whole physical distancing rules when with people they know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 That's 3 parents at work had child isolation emails from T&P in S Ayrshire this week. No pattern to the area within the county, it looks pretty widespread. Two of them will miss nat 5 / higher final assessments due to it this week. What a fucking mess given that two of the kids are of an age that they are testing twice a week and have constantly been negative. The twice weekly testing is a total an utter waste of time if this is the result regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "assessments" (exams) are not being sat under those conditions well not down here anyway. They are being sat in small group classes hence how the dark web cheating sites are so rife as they are sitting the same test but at different times which in itself is a total numb skull decision to take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Do we know why Scotland is literally twice the UK average at the minute? It seems like a lot of pish that we're surging while the rest of the island plus the failed statelet are doing so much better. Given the vaccines effect on transmission highlighted by the age groups affected you can only wonder what the case numbers would be looking like without it. This most certainly feels like the start of a third wave (the graphs every bit as steep in rising new cases as in September) but hopefully it can be fought off via vaccination rather than restrictions. A bit of seasonality would have helped but the Indian mutation doesn't seem to demonstrate that trait which was prevalent in last summers variants. Hospilisation shouldn't rise so fast in this wave nor should deaths but they inevitably will rise in some form (probably mostly asymptomatic younger folk in for other issues or older folk who didn't take the offer for whatever reason). Got to hold our nerve and keep jagging but the numbers not giving a f**k certainly won't be helping no matter how tiresome it has become. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear to be an inexplicable timing issue, however over the past couple of days positivity rates in England would appear to now be on the increase and at current rates would overtake Scotland in the next 10 days or so. As said, this is all inconsequential should the hospitalisations and deaths remain low / under control and if so should signal an end to most if not ALL restrictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) I had thought the media may have put a certain slant on Humza’s comments about children being hospitalised but it seems he really did say that. Surely he can’t remain in post? “And therefore the risk of somebody did that- travelled from a level 2 area into a level 1 area, took their children into a soft play area, could lead to the hospitalisation of children.” Edited June 2, 2021 by PedroMoutinho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
