October lockdown?

[Goingdooolally]

Hi
I can’t see another thread on this and I think it’s more Scotland than general CV related.

Any thoughts on this? I’m a teacher and there’s been no word at work but I’m hoping to go away for a week in half term (west coast) and really really hoping lockdown doesn’t happen! Selfish I know, but we need a break!

Anyone got any views on the likelihood?

I misheard, can someone clarify?

Central belt pubs are to close completely and everywhere else is 6-6 but only food and no alcohol?

Or is it 6-6 everywhere?

Central belt to close is what I heard.

She can't win tbh.

We are an unhealthy nation looking down the barrel of a gun this autumn.

It’s worrying me how scared she sounds 😕

Is Swinney due to speak today as well?

Did she say that you can't go out of your health board area if you are in one of the six areas but then go on to say if you've booked a half term holiday then you can?

It is significant. There will be terrible job losses coming from this.

And it won't work.

Nothing will - unless we do a full national lockdown - and we can't do that again. Very worrying development - especially as virus spread is so low in restaurants.

Outside central belt - open 6-6. between 6pm and 10pm you can only eat/drink outside. (In Scotland, in October.

In central belt - the only hospitalilty which can be open is small, unlicensed cafes. Restaurants and pubs to shut completely.

Plus even with no alcohol having to eat before 6 kills restaurants. Most will probably not bother to open at all, cafes are the only places likely to stay open. Well apart from all those poor central belt ones.

As DH said - everyone will just go to Asda for a carryout, won't they?

She does sound very very rattled.

Sorry one of the five areas: GGC, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Arran, Lothian and Forth Valley.

Did she say that you can't go out of your health board area if you are in one of the six areas but then go on to say if you've booked a half term holiday then you can?

No. She said to avoid public transport. And to consider whether your travel is really necessary.

Apologies cafes can stay open in central belt.

Hard to follow need a list

Is it just me but NS sounds so wobbly and seems shaken.

I assume no extra funding announced?

Additional funding for hospitality sector, consultations in the next days.

She's just realised what we all knew months ago - that she can't eradicate this virus.

Probably. It’s easier once you get through that thought process

Leanard pointing out it's unfair on places that have been trying hard.

I agree in that I've been in really careful places and others who don't seem to know anything is going on!

I think she's bricking it about the Alex Salmond story that's broken.

She sounds and looks knackered. Woman’s not had a day or night off since March.

Listened to her briefing. There's been no change to the meeting indoors ie we are still not allowed in each other's houses.

Can anyone clarify?

Harvie wittering on about New Zealand.
I'm away!
