I guess it depends how many people are in each of those categories but yes, split that way, Scotland look well behind. If it's accurate.

 

Folks, this may help in trying to do like for like comparison across all 4 nations on the latest published data for the mid Feb key target date for top 4 cohorts.  Scotland, Wales and NI in one way or another released figures on Tuesday to cover up to Monday.  England only release weekly up to close Sunday, so they do lose a day. Brian Dundas's figures are up to date for Scotland to close last night.  It is a right pain that not all 4 nations report consistently.

Not necessarily.  Furlough was always going to be needed in some form during the unlock.  Different sectors of the economy will unlock and recover at different paces.  It will probably evolve into a targeted support scheme.

 

I would think things at the back of the queue for opening back up would be nightclubs,  music venues and such like.  They'll need support while other things are getting back up to nearer normality.

I'd have expected everything back and open by the end of July but yeh it's a good point about some will be later than others. It's definitely good it's there for them, not knocking it in that way, it's been a great thing, just disappointed it hints at how long opening up will take.

 

Certainly better there, than not 👍

The past week or so has been very confusing in terms of official information,  expert opinions and other suggestions regarding the timetable of the unlock.  Sometimes there's a hint of an early move back to normal.  The next day a bit of opinion to suggest the whole year's a write off.   The UK gvt's roadmap might provide a bit more insight,  albeit they're not going to set firm dates,  etc.

 

I think the governments know that there needs to be a return to the state of play of last summer,  at least.  Economically and to give people a better reality.  I think the idea of sacrificing foreign travel as a trade off was floated out quite deliberately.  The notion is out there and I'm pretty sure public opinion will swing in behind the idea to make that sacrifice in order to live a life worth living in a few months time.

What I don't get about the so called trade off with "international travel", is what exactly is it being traded off against?  Hospitality? I don't think so. Live audiences at football or theatres? Possibly.

 

International travel is no more dangerous, if managed properly, with travel corridors between nations with similar Covid situations.  We developed an arrangement to restrict travel to countries with a 7day/100k rate in excess of 20.  That actually worked, but it was introduced too late to prevent thousands of people flying off to Spain in mid July when case numbers were climbing there. 

 

Does the SG really want to sacrifice Euro 2020, the Edinburgh Festival for a second year, in addition to international tourism and events?

Does the SG really want to sacrifice Euro 2020, the Edinburgh Festival for a second year, in addition to international tourism and events?

 

I suppose the benefit side of the trade off is some normality or ability to do a variety of things.  UK based holidays,  restaurants,  pubs,  cinemas,  theme parks for kids,  non essential shopping,  family visiting,  perhaps home based socialising to some degree,  and so on.

 

Maybe there has to be a trade off.  Maybe the all encompassing analysis arrives at a conclusion that it isn't possible or prudent to attempt to go for the whole package of normal activity.  We know that some international travel is feasibly possible and not necessarily hazardous but perhaps some of the thought is that it is practically safer to sacrifice something.

 

If it helped to safeguard the ability for millions of people to regain some kind of life and helped to maintain an acceptable level of CV illness,  should people not begin to ask themselves how badly they need a foreign trip?

 

Yes,  the huge benefits on inward tourism is certainly a rather large fly in the ointment.

Surely one check is enough for normal visits:

 

- has the person you are visiting been vaccinated > two weeks ago 

 

- at a push get a test before you visit too

 

Much more than that is just OTT imo.

 

Both my parents are vaccinated, the risk of visiting them would be tiny.

Politicians, unfortunately,  are not in touch with real life. 9 checks is just ludicrous.  

Same with micromanaging human interactions; people are gathering in small groups, chatting on street corners, in shop queues etc. If someone from a 3rd household appears ,what do you do, walk away? Turn your back? It's nonsensical.  Bruntsfield was busy this morning, families out and about, runners pounding the pavements, queues for take-away coffee outside every shop, the bike repair shop doing a roaring trade.  Great to see a semblance of normality returning and people making their own sensible decisions. Govts need to start opening hospitality and non-essential shops up as the vaccine programme progresses. Early-mid April, after all 9 priority groups have been vaccinated should be the starting point for a return to normality.

I think the public have a lot more common sense than the politicians and, yes,  in many ways, the scientists. You don't have to be an epidemiologist to appreciate that.

If you want to describe people going about their normal business, safely, having listened to govt diktats and scientific scaremongering for nearly a year, then that's your choice. 

Those that want to be locked up and "kept safe" by govts, are entitled to do so. Time to take Covid off the pedestal and think of the thousands of people with equally bad and worse medical conditions,  the business owners pouring their savings into keeping their business afloat and the children, students,  apprentices who have lost a year of their education. Not to mention the care home residents and those whose mental health has been affected.

Exactly my observations regarding last March - May. I recall police about a lot then in Princes street , meadows etc. Nowhere to be seen now. Good.  People are making their own grown up risk assessment.  The Govt had that. It takes away their nannying controlling ideology.

Edinburgh going in the wrong direction.

Yes, but it's still not doing too shabbily. My big take-home from today's stats was the nice drop in the 7-day deaths figure. It seemed stuck on 40 just a few days back.

Do the prison outbreaks have anything to do with that? 

They certainly have done for W Lothian.

 

Longstone and Stenhouse (HMP Saughton) has also been one of the higher areas within Edinburgh for the last week or so, but the more recent increase in Edinburgh has concentrated itself in the SE of the city, Craigmillar, Niddrie, Moredun etc.
