Coronavirus outbreak

[srw]

As it happens I think we're currently in a reasonably low risk state in much of the country. But I have very little confidence that we'll stay there.

Dunno. The butcher in Turriff was telling me the locals had been pretty blase about the whole thing, regarding it as a city problem. But then the news broke about Aberdeen and he noticed the number of folk wearing masks shot up.

Aberdeen now back in lockdown apparently with pubs and restaurants closed and a 5 mile travel restriction. Not great.

Absolutely no surprise if my experience in that restaurant was common. I left Aberdeen 2 hrs ago - phew!


Out before the lock

I find it hard to believe a Tory minister lying...

Presumably, being an honourable man, he’ll ask to appear again tomorrow to clear up the confusion.

It's pretty sad to me that lying is the norm it seems.Why not if you can.

Is that not how the virus spread the first time round in Italy?

You could maybe count your blessings whilst self isolating.

Clearly they don't realize, deny the situation exists and they don't care. Doesn't matter which because it ends with the same result.

OMG, it is all about government control, they were right!!

No deaths from Covid in Scotland for 3 weeks now.
But cases rising quite significantly so I doubt we'll make it to 4 weeks without a death.

From the linked gov.uk announcement:

We will enhance the overall Test and Trace user journey

People on six figure salaries are being paid by us to come up with this guff. Meanwhile, contract tracers working for Serco are averaging 2.4 phone calls per day.

Worth every penny, Baroness Harding.
