graygo Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 44 minutes ago, Phage said: Makes me angry when I hear people moaning they have had their holiday cancelled. Some folks are literally queueing at food banks to survive. Folks losing jobs left right and centre. Business and whole industries absolutely crushed overnight. Families uncertain how they will pay the rent or their mortgage in the next few months. Years and decades of hard work and commitment to folks ventures and lost due to no fault of their own. So if you holiday gets cancelled and refunded, remember some folks dont know what they will eat next week or where they will live next month. Is nobody allowed to moan about anything? I'm guessing there will always be someone in a worse situation than the one you find yourself in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Brian Dundas said: The more I think about the Masks the more I think they are actually worse then no masks. I was out for Coffee with Mrs Dundas today and I observed lots of customers come in, from outside with a mask on, then remove it at their table, which was after they have hand sanitised at the front waiting area. So what they have done, assuming they have the virus otherwise mask is pointless anyway, is load up some cloth with tons of virus, got it all over their hands, then spread it around their table area, where they don't need to wear a mask so they can enjoy their beverages. They should go back and wash/sanitise their hands after touching/removing the masks, which means they are moving about without one on anyway. My views on masks is very fluid and I can't quite work it all out yet. They are nothing more than a comfort blanket imo. They will reduce the output of a sneeze or cough but if some sneezes then put their hands all over the mask then on other surfaces it just defeats the purpose. There is a reason why nurses and doctors are actually taught proper mask protocol and that it to stop contamination and spreading germs by putting and taking off masks. The general public can’t be expected to follow these it isn’t practicable. Edited September 3, 2020 by AlimOzturk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 On the Greek arrivals topic, I take if someone residing in Scotland goes on holiday using Newcastle, this is a loophole to be exploited to avoid the 14 day quarantine?

It is up to the passengers to be aware of the situation wherever they are going or coming from. How do they know there is information they've not been given? BY knowing they haven't been given any then they must know what that information is.......... The airlines follow FCO guidance in terms of customers being entitled to refunds if they choose not to travel. If a customer doesn't want to go to Greece - no refund. The travellers are confident there is nothing in place that could check up on them following this NONSENSE ruling. Nothing was indicated on the flight or by border force that they must go straight home and stay there. They arrived only a couple of hours after the 4am 'deadline' from an island that has a rating lower than Scotland too which makes a mockery of the decision.

Don Dan Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Provisional figures indicate some 53 of these new cases are in Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, where Covid-19 restrictions were reintroduced on Tuesday, including in East Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire. People have been told they should not visit someone else's home, no matter where it is, because cases appear to have been driven by socialising in households. It is likely the rule will stay in place for around two weeks. But the First Minister, who said she herself has cancelled plans to be with family, said cases are increasing in various parts of the country, and the enforcement of additional measures in Glasgow should serve as a 'wake up call' to Scots. While across Scotland the number of positive cases of coronavirus is 9.2 per 100,000 people, in Glasgow it stands at 21.8, in East Renfrewshire it is 18.8, and in West Dunbartonshire it rises to 32.6 per 100,000, Deputy First Minister John Swinney said.

Nicked from the DM Some of the increases will be due to the increased testing of late (see graph below). That creates a bit of noise and makes the "signal" of the beginning of the various clusters more difficult to pinpoint. However, in saying that, I personally would be having a twitchy arse at the moment if I were in charge of combatting coronavirus in Scotland. It will no doubt turn out to be a game of Whack a Mole as the clusters appear, and reactions have to be quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
