Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Asda & Tesco have joined Morrisons & Sainsbury's in saying that they will enforce the wearing of face masks for everyone unless they are exempt. Just how they are going to police it and enforce it I'm not all that sure, because if someone say's that they are exempt, are they going to ask for proof? And if so that opens up a whole new can of worms, in terms of privacy and data protection, I'd had thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in March, the 35 to the Gyle was like a Burmese train carriage. We need more gas guzzling Chelsea tractors in my opinion. Plenty of them down here, especially on the school run, the 200 metre school run for some of them.

They need to be seen to be doing something in order to maintain good publicity in case the governments turn their eye towards one of the real transmission hotspots. Given most folk in supermarkets are wearing a mask, it might also start debunking that particular means of protection, too. I wonder if we'll now see all the staff wearing masks too?

What the supermarkets have announced is what the law is right now anyway and they should have been doing for the last 6 months. I agree, I can't see how anything will meaningfully change.

redjambo Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Today's per-capita 7-day case rates around the councils. Note that this is now based on the date that the positive tests were reported, not the date when the samples were taken. This will allow the data to be more timely, showing spikes and drops sooner. I've recalculated yesterday's figures on this basis. I've also not included the immediate historic data as it would be like comparing lemons and limes. After a few days, the table will start looking normal again. The peak value for Scotland last week was 298, so touch wood we're heading back down.

For the cases, the Tuesday figures are often up on the Monday figures, and today's figures do show a good decline from last Tuesday's, so that provides some welcome news. The deaths, hospitalisations and ICU use figures aren't good of course, but that's to be expected given the festive period case surge. Those vaccines can't come soon enough.

This is where the half assed attitude from the governments come in. Make it law and enforce it. A lot of supermarkets have security in place others could employ them helping another industry devastated by covid. Then enforce it. Its surely not hard to issue exemptions. We have had what six months since it was required. I have asthma and i have lung problems from pneumonia and pleurisy , if i wear a mask for an extended period i start to struggle to breathe but for my safety and others I wear my mask when in places its required. human nature is such that many people will just push back against authority or try to act the big man by not following the rules/advice given. Again that all comes back to enforcing regulations/laws/rules etc etc , the biggest **** up of all over the last year is no consequences for doing as you please as opposed to what is required.

I cant remember if a precise date was given but a thousand locations were identified. The priority has been care homes (80% complete) which take more time because of frailty and because Pfizer vaccine needs more care. Some of Pfizer vaccine not used as it was kept back for booster now available because of guarantee of future supply. Increased supplies of Astrazenica now available so jab rate can now be increased.
