Here is some info from a trusted source about the plan for Scotland.
Even if we are tier two for Xmas, that's still not great.

I dont think level 2 includes home visits?

Ffsnosexallowed · 17/11/2020 21:00

Level 2 doesn't allow home visits.

Horehound · 17/11/2020 21:04

That's why I said it's not great! That's what's looking like our best deal for Xmas...

Scotgov have quite strongly confirmed that level 4 is for 3 weeks and level 2 doesn't allow socialising in the home

39weekswithno2 · 17/11/2020 21:15

The punctuation and spelling mistakes on the document really don't lend it any credence to be honest.

39weekswithno2 · 17/11/2020 21:16

I'm sure some areas moved from 3 to 2 earlier as well

LargeProsecco · 17/11/2020 21:18

I've seen this before & reckon it's fake - the "r" is reproduction. Not rating. Lots of other errors too.

My thoughts too!
Scotslassie1 · 17/11/2020 21:20

Yes, grammar's terrible.

Direwolfwrangler · 17/11/2020 22:59

There are spelling and grammar errors in that screen grab. The information also does not match the current guidance for the levels re household visiting.

DumplingsAndStew · 17/11/2020 23:44

What is your trusted source?

Horehound · 18/11/2020 00:34

I'm not saying who my source is in case they get into trouble but you'll just have to trust me!
The sheet is a mock up to give to a political editor so it's not an official document that's not meant to look pretty.

@largeprosecco I'd be interested to know where you've seen this before because I really doubt it. Have you got a link or something?

Level two does allow visiting someone's home just not inside it :p

We'll all be having Xmas din dins on the patio!

LargeProsecco · 18/11/2020 06:44

It was circulating on social media on Monday - not exactly the same wording but pretty much the same phrasing eg hospitality footfall.

We all reckoned it wasn't official.

Horehound · 18/11/2020 08:08

@LargeProsecco haha it doesn't matter what you reckon. I know where this one came from and I'm telling you it's reliable!
For whatever reason people just don't like to believe it. Maybe in denial...

DumplingsAndStew · 18/11/2020 08:11

I still doubt how "reliable" a document can be when its peppered with errors. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Redglitter · 18/11/2020 08:17

Its hardly reliable when it's already been made clear that the tier 4 lockdown is only until Dec 11. And its not being introduced on Tuesday. It was announced on Tuesday and is being introduced on Friday.

Have you read some of the consultations that come out of the Scottish Government? Grin.

I doubt its authenticity but not because it's badly written.

39weekswithno2 · 18/11/2020 08:30

Op.... did you actually watch the news yesterday? Your reliable document is wrong.

Home visiting rules for levels 3&4 are the same as they are at level 2 so what would the relaxation be?

All other levels stay at 'there' current level except NE moving to level 3? .... nowhere moved to level 3 yesterday as far as I can remember

All level 3 areas will stay in that band until January? ... a couple of level 3 places moved to level 2 yesterday

What's a Rating number?

LizzieMacQueen · 18/11/2020 08:32

I saw similar on Twitter too.

It's not much of an incentive to comply with T4 now only relaxing at Xmas, if that relaxing is still max 6 from 2 and outdoors. C. R. A. P.

SlantyBaws · 18/11/2020 08:34

Are you my mum, because she shared the same bullshit on Monday citing "trusted source".

RaspberryCoulis · 18/11/2020 08:34

There's no plan. Don't be so silly. It's going to be whatever Sturgeon thinks will get her most votes in May.

Redglitter · 18/11/2020 08:35

Id also imagine any kind of official source/document would also know that the R (number) doesn't stand for Rating 😂

Horehound · 18/11/2020 09:47

Actually, I wouldn't. These people are not exactly the brains of Britain as much as we want then to be.

Anyhoo, I know the source and I trust them but I'm not saying who it is just to satisfy you. :)

This was sent on Sunday so when it says Tuesday they just mean the announcement.
And I imagine the relaxation means more like something of a level 1 on the 25th and 26th and the rest of the time maybe the tier 3 and 4s could be reduced to tier 2.

But anyway. Time will tell for all the naysayers on here.

Fa la la la laaaa

I hope you get the Christmas you want. Halloween Smile
