Just me who thinks the number of kids 12-15 taking the vaccine will be low? Already seeing people on social media stating it’s all bollocks and won’t let their kids take it.

Wonder what the correlation is between folk who have had the jog themselves and won't let their kids take it. You'd have to imagine it'll be pretty low, with the opposition coming from the anti-vaxxers. 

Obviously I wasn't looking for it at the time, but I can't recall anyone in school not getting their vaccinations when they were administered. I'm sure there will have been the odd one, right enough.

They won't try another lockdown the public have done their time they are now dosed up and the NHS has been saved. It will be ignored if they try it.

I get what you're saying and I would certainly ignore another lockdown as far as I possibly could but there's only so much you can do if pubs, stadiums, gyms, barbers etc. are all closed. Visiting family and friends would be about it.

Daily Cases Update:   No change to the upwards trajectory.  This time another 7.21% and positivity up 2 ticks to 2.9%   

74.5 per 100K compared to the Taffs at 8.0 is a shocker.  Scotland now has 13 of the top 26 councils in the UK.   Every level 2 council bar Renfrewshire rising.  Edinburgh appears to be heading for top spot.

As like the SPFL we now have a split I have colour coded the councils. As of yet nobody passing each other. 

Some significant changes in the major countries in Europe.   Denmark now tops the charts at a pretty respectable 117 cases per 100K. Netherlands 116 & Belgium 112 are the only other countries above 100. 

Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan, (UK was 642.1)    Cases that day were 16,496 and test positivity rate was 11.9%  

Total Cases 7 days from 26th May to 1st June  were 3798 now 4072 up 7.21%.  Positivity was 2.7% now 2.9%.   Cases per 100k were 69.5 now 74.5

Fully sympathise with this view. I sailed through the first lockdown, naive in the belief that it could never happen again. When the second was announced before Christmas it felt like the whole world has collapsed in on me and mentally it never really got any better till towards coming out this one when the outlook became more optimistic.

I honestly don’t think we will have another lockdown (nor should we) but it makes me a wee bit anxious nonetheless.

This from someone with a generally don’t bother about anything and get on with it attitude.

Very widespread,mate.

Wife and I have been totally anti lockdown right from the start.

Our view was always -‘we’ll take our chances’.

Fortunately, all our family are similarly minded and we’ve not adhered to any of the rules other than having to wearing masks for shops.

Its now becoming very wearing mentally as were both fully vaxed. What more can we do?

Time for a revolution.

I'm scared of politicians' reaction to the virus (lockdowns and other restrictions) too. Most posts in the thread over the last few months boil to fear of lockdowns. 

It's a reflection of the fact in the UK politicians have been saying the vaccine will bring a return to normal life, but are then keeping restrictions.

S Ayrshire environmental health newsletter today said the authority has widespread community transmission and on top of that they are dealing with at least 10 specific outbreaks mostly centred on hospitality venues and a couple in schools. A big T&T operation starting at at Turnberry hotel too it mentioned. Up to 270 contacts identified.

As someone who voted Yes in 2014 and votes SNP more often than not, the Scottish Government can seriously go f**k themselves if they are even considering future lockdowns 

The country is vaccinated sufficiently and we have done our bit

Owen Jones doing “hmm maybe we should be asking questions about a possible lab leak of covid” is cool and normal!

Lab leak is realistic though.

Covid turning up randomly right outside the lab where they do experiments making Corona viruses more dangerous is a bit of a stretch.

The letter which said Covid 19 was 100% not man made has been debunked. There is no evidence that it didn't come from the lab. Occam's Razor is that this is a Chernobyl, Challenger, Thousand Mile Island, Deepwater Horizon style human error rather than a huge coincidence with the lab being at the epicenter but unconnected. 

[Bairnardo]

There is literally no way that I will ever adhere to government mandated restrictions on who can enter my home again as it pertains to a virus we have all been vaccinated against. As Ron Aldo said already, f**k all you can do if they shut businesses etc down, but as far as I am concerned the time for that level of reach into our life is past.
