Falkirk was already a 3 and not a 4. Just stirling that got that. Clackmannan numbers much higher now but they are 3 as well. The problem when you get down to areas of small population is that it doesn't take much for the numbers to start looking bad especially when you decide to send in a van doing testing of folk with no symptoms.
when Stirling was sitting in level 2 figures, they got a 3 along with the rest of Forth Valley as the hospital is the back up for the Lanarkshires. Then Stirling got shoved to a 4 as part of the nearly dirty dozen as there were a couple of (mainly contained) breakouts a few days before it was announced. How come we didn't get the benefit of the doubt for a couple of weeks given that other areas on triple the figures got months to see how the figures were doing?
I think it's all nonsense and not blaming anyone else in other areas at all. It's a virus, it spreads, vast majority of people will be perfectly fine, just don't cough over your granny.
Numbers are now really low again but I guess we'll get 3 plus as Clackmannan is high. We don't really get anything that resembles fairness and I'm gutted for all the small business folk that are being run into the ground. Seems to be disproportionately against small business rather than large ones (obviously there are exceptions) , I presume small business owners don't vote SNP?
I'm still gobsmacked how we've all sat and let the govt tell us whether we can have people in our own houses tbh. In fact, i'm not gobsmacked, I'm ashamed.
