I get locked down. Tiers go up again.

New Fred.

Thanks for a smile about my glorious council area.

After a naturally very sombre press conference.

This is the core of the problem. sturgeon is obviously happy taking her holidays in Scotland and she can't see why for most of us a week in Majorca is more appear than a week in Millport.

We are living in part of a small island off the coast of Europe where its cold and wet. Of course we want to travel.

All year travel restrictions?? Continuing with the masks?? What planet is she fucking living in??

I think travel will need to be restricted until globally we're in a better place. With variants and strains that we don't know about I don't think we want to risk any new strains evading the vaccines.

[quote shouldistop]@hilbil21 I'm sure last year it was 15th July [/quote]
Pretty sure it's from last year. I think they got pushed back a week. Same happened to childcare

Just catching up so more doom and gloom as is tradition today then? Anyone catch the figures?

Maybe to go to IKEA

Who knows

Majorca. I would love that right now

But don’t viruses do what viruses do like the flu virus

We have to change the vaccine every year ?

Figured down. 6 point something percent positive tests. We've very obviously passed the peak which according to travelling tabby was about 5th jan.

But rather than looking for a way out, it's more restrictions for longer, no foreign travel for a year.

I think I've seen every briefing since last March, after a bit of a homeschooling disaster I've missed today! Is it worth trying to find it somewhere or will I want to launch TV oot windae

Frankly, I can’t afford a holiday in Scotland even if I wanted to spend my holidays in the peeing rain.

This makes no sense: why would we need masks and STFAH after the vulnerable vaccinated?

Thanks @RaspberryCoulis I'm watching the questions just now but missed the start. So still no fucking plan for the future then.

Massive protest in Majorca anyone?

Just kidding before anyone thinks I'm a Covid denier.

Because we have to get to Zero Covid, @WouldBeGood. They will not accept that it's one of those illnesses like Measles and Flu which circulate and which we vaccinate against annually.

She's looking at the press coverage which Jacinda New Zealand is getting and she wants some of that. How's she going to get her indyref if we're not all falling over ourselves saying how wonderful Nicola is, keeping us all safe.

Nothing new then? Nothing about nurseries opening up?

This is the core of the problem. sturgeon is obviously happy taking her holidays in Scotland and she can't see why for most of us a week in Majorca is more appear than a week in Millport.

Nationalism has trouble looking beyond its borders.

You don't need to be a Covid denier to think the policy of total eradication is fucking nuts.

I’m no Covid denier, but continued lockdown after vaccination is just insane and wrong and they can all fuck off

I thought we just had to hang on for a few weeks till we got the vaccine

I wish the nurseries would open 😥😥

Hopefully it won't come to that. They're wary of the vaccinations not stopping or lowering transmission but hopefully it will and cases drop off and we can lower restrictions.

They tweak the flu vaccine each year but if a new variant starts circulating in a big way in say September then it could mean the current vaccinated population won't be protected. Once the world is largely vaccinated then strains etc hopefully will be less of a concern.

missed it, can someone summarise?

Are we not allowed to travel abroad at all this year and masks all year and tier 4 from july or til july?

This is it @littlbrowndog the goalposts are constantly moved

There were no timescales or firm announcements.

Basically don't book a holiday abroad.

If hairdressers don't open soon she won't have to worry about me not STFAH as I'll not be able to go out looking like I do
We need a concrete plan out of this,to give us hope

I am a very positive person as a rule but am really fed up now

Surely once the over 70s are done we can start getting back to normal
