Fears For Tiers

Thread #567 Still here, getting through each day one 2M step away at a time. November into December 2020 here we go...

How are they actually going to enforce making it law to not allow people to travel between tiers I wonder

Absolutely terrible news
Disaster for retail ,hospitality and my sanity

I'm not in tier 4, and I'm not a former shielder. I can't imagine what it would be like to be heading into a secondary school next week in tier 4, being told only to be "extra vigilant".

Note - East and Midlothian are not moving down until Tuesday. Those moving up move up from Friday

I just don't think I can do this again. I knew it was coming but I still don't think I can.

What a fucking disaster.

I hope to God that SNP are out on their arrse come May. Labour get your act together so folk will vote for you.
Too many won't vote Tory just because.

Army on the Erskine bridge. 🙄

Seriously. I've played along with all this shite so far but I'm done. There is no reason for this.

Ugh, sad for all the people now in t4. And wahoo, now scary unenforceable police threats for travelling between tiers.

This tier system isn't working - we'd have been better off with a proper lock down earlier with a finite horizon.

I’m still listening.
Question about mixed retail- Supermarkets v closed local business. They’re going to try to make it a fair system? What does that even mean?

They really have made an almighty balls up of this, haven't they?

We had a lockdown from March which peple were complying with very well. That was the opportunity to drive it very low and limit international travel. But nobody had the guts to do so, and as result we're going to end up with over a year of on/off/on/up/down/in/out/do-the-covid-cokey and nobody will comply.

When Wales tried "fairness" it was shutting off the non essential aisles in the supermarkets.

Possibly if independent book shops close, supermarkets can't sell books? That sort of thing, maybe.

What if you have to go between the tiers of fears for work and school and caring.

Load of bollocks

Urgh it's just urgh !

Can you travel from a tier 3 to another tier 3 for shopping?

And worse than England where you can click and collect non essentials. We can't do that because?

Can childcare still be provided from a tier 4 to a tier 3?

40% of Scotland in tier 4

@Belindabelle you weren’t supposed to be doing they anyway I don’t think but it’ll only be law from this week is my understanding.

@Belindabelle

Can you travel from a tier 3 to another tier 3 for shopping?

The original guidance was "Exemptions for essential travel for work, education, shopping health etc; outdoor exercise; weddings and funerals; shared parenting, and transit through restricted areas. "

It's just a rip roaring disaster, give it 3 weeks and no change then what???

I haven’t been anywhere. Work from home, online food shop but had planned to leave the house to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Falkirk shops are crap.

I bet all the shops will be heaving this week now so I probably won’t bother anyway. It’s all a bit grim and this weather isn’t helping.

Bloody hell tier 4 for 3 weeks.
I'm just back from Silverburn it was mobbed. Need to go shopping for a present, card and paper for dd's birthday in 2 weeks.

My parents think nothing about jumping the bus to Falkirk to Asda every other bloody dayhad to phone them and tell them they can't !

I do a regular thursday morning shift in a charity shop. This week's going to be... interesting.
