Absolute nightmare if further restrictions is in their thinking. A lot of folk in other sectors can work from home and that may become the norm in the future, things can continue as usual in that respect. Anywhere that relies on face to face customers however might struggle this time just as they were receiving more orders or, taking on more staff as customers were coming back, even more so there is now no furlough.

Fix the problem areas where it is spreading and leave the rest of us to get on with life. Locking down people who are washing hands, wearing masks, socially distancing etc will not reduce cases. Hospitals, care homes, university campuses, food processing factories etc are where it spreads. And businesses, public transport operators need to start saying "no mask, no entry".

I heard very similar over the weekend! Two weeks of pretty much another full lockdown. Non essential businesses to shut and 5 mile radius limit of travelling. Would be a massive kick in the nuts tbh. Whilst I don't think we can do nothing, not sure I would really agree with it. Non essential travel cancelled for remainder of the year as well. I'm hoping it's either just a stupid rumour or possibly an idea leaked to gauge opinion. They way they've been chatting though I think there will be something. The date I was told was the 16th so not sure if that ties in with the school holidays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true it signals complete and utter mismanagement by the Scottish Government, and signals they have lost the plot. People who have been travelling wearing facemasks, observing the social distancing, and carrying personal hand sanitiser are being punished because they refuse to tackle the root of the problem as we are nearing an election.

Ray Gin Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54412581 A technical glitch that meant nearly 16,000 cases of coronavirus went unreported has delayed efforts to trace contacts of people who tested positive. Public Health England said 15,841 cases between 25 September and 2 October were left out of the UK daily case figures. PHE said all those who tested positive had been informed. But it means others in close contact with them were not. Edited October 5, 2020 by Ray Gin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to believe a circuit break works best when R number just above 1 , ours might be too high to make this strategy all that effective. Why would it be effective? He said it would buy us 28 days. What happens after that 28 days, another 'circuit breaker'? Clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to 2005 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It's pretty clear they are going to introduce this nonsense "circuit breaker" idea from next week. This is despite the health advisor (American woman, forget her name) advising that lockdowns dont work. Took her 7 months to come to this conclusion mind you. Going to be a long hard winter folks. Dont worry though. Those that make these decisions will still have a big pay cheque every month. Unlike some of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, been told by someone in the education sector that it's to start with the school holidays. What I and many others would like to know is, what exactly does 'circuit breaker' mean? Is it full lockdown, mini lockdown; are bars, restaurants to operate under current regulations or do they close; can Hearts play at home to Dundee or will we be going into a Scottish Cup semi-final having hardly kicked a competitive ball? What happens after the 28 days and the R Number has reduced; do we ease restrictions again only to go back to another 'circuit breaker' and so on ad infinitum? Crazy stuff.
