When's the next update for Scotland?

[Plump82]

I had it it my head every 3 weeks but that would take us up to the 22nd December which is cutting it neat! Will she do them more regularly. I can't find anything online.

[quote thedevilinablackdress]@BBCONEANDTWO Renfrewshire currently has the highest infections rates in Scotland, so looks like T4 there too.[/quote]
Realistically which areas do you think will go to Tier 4?

@GreyishDays maybe I just got lucky when I went up there, it was pretty cool to see them as I wasn't expecting it.

Gobsmacked - found out that you can still golf during Tier 4 - that's not a lockdown!

Thats because golf is outdoors. Garden centres can also stay open if they have outdoor areas

8% of tests were positive - so similar proportion of positive tests just fewer processed - seems to be a common Sunday thing.

Rumours suggest both Lanarkshires and all of Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board with the possible exception of Inverclyde. If East Dunbartonshire is borderline and Glasgow is in level 4 I'd expect we should be because it is pretty closely linked to Glasgow especially for hospitals.

So do you think Dobbies will be able to stay open - what if you have to walk through the indoor area to get to the outdoor area though? It's very confusing.

Don't know specifically about Dobbies but the guidance says:

Click and collect, on-line services and outdoor retail, such as garden centres, outdoor markets and car lots, can also remain open.

@dementedpixie thank you very much you're very knowledgeable about the restrictions. It must be frustrating getting all these questions and I appreciate your answers.

She really doesn’t have a handle on it does she. We haven’t been allowed to visit people in Lanarkshire since September . Does she really think if people aren’t listening in Tier 3 that going into 4 will make a difference. It won’t make any difference in my life tier 4. Kids still traveling to school on public transport. Still traveling to work on the train . I can’t see the numbers dropping.

What do you think should happen @Peppafrig ?

@thedevilinablackdress I think high school children should be learning online .

Yeah, no doubt it would suppress infection. So tough for them and parents who have to work. No easy decisions.

That is why I said high school kids . As they are old enough to be at home.

I'd not leave an 11 year old home alone and expect them to do work effectively. Not everyone has the Tech to do it at home either

The government have had 7 months to figure out how to get tech to kids who don’t have it at home.

I imagine it would work the way it did the first lockdown kids who were vulnerable would still go into school.

And you'd really leave 11/12/13 year olds at home all day learning remotely?
I'm 47 and find it hard to concentrate WFH

Ah, ok x-post

I think in Wales the younger high school kids went in so 1st and 2nd year for example. This still won’t be enough to suppress the virus and how much longer are we expected not to see family? It’s been since September now. Mental health is at an all time low. Are we going to be still on here in three weeks after heavier restrictions and still the number isn’t lower? Then what another three weeks? I follow all the rules but it doesn’t make sense to me. My husband will live in a tier 4 and be traveling to work in a tier 1 and will visit multiple work sites. But that’s allowed . Makes no sense to me .

Sorry I meant to say he is allowed to travel to a tier 2 not 1

Tier 4 for three weeks! Wasnt expecting it to be that long.

It will be bedlam over the next fews day with everyone getting all their shopping in .

I went to my local retail park last night as i needed to return stuff before lockdown and it was chaos. So, so busy!

@Plump82 where has it been said it’s for 3 weeks?
