Just asking as seen you mention a few times about it being available soon etc. Wasn’t sure if you have “inside knowledge” or just being optimistic? Tbf it's been reported in the press over the last few days. Leaked emails from a NHS England Trust telling staff to prepare for a roll out from early Dec.

The Mighty Thor Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Victorian said: The tiers do appear to be very strict. Looks like they're going very hard on hospitality and the same arguments will be offered regarding how much spread is going on in hospitality settings. It should be remembered that hospitality is being singled out because it's really the only area that they can exert control over and police it. It's the one controllable area. It's pretty brutal but it's not hard to see why it's being targeted. Looks mum & dad for going for a bevvy any time soon. Hospitality has been shut for nearly three weeks and the numbers are going up. That in itself makes it rather hard to understand why its being targeted. What was sold as a 2 week restriction to get control is now looking like an indeterminate closure of a business sector that was never the source of mass infection to begin with. Scot Gov don't provide outbreak/case numbers by setting (as PHE do weekly), I suspect the numbers don't fit the preferred narrative of the government. The 5 tier system, meant to provide flexibility to tackle local outbreaks is effectively now a two tier system of locked down or locked down harder and its not even launched yet. The lack of a plan and the irrational reactionary measures being meted out points to a group not in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a plan and the irrational reactionary measures being meted out points to a group not in control. If people follow the basic rules, hand wash, wear a mask when required and socially distance where possible, the chance of catching the virus is miniscule. Therefore, it begs the question, who is catching it and how? Presumably those who are not following the rules. So, why impose further restrictions on the precaution taking majority while the feckless class are not sticking to the rules? How exactly do they expect cases to reduce? The Scottish Hospitality Group, comprising some of the biggest pub groups in the country, reported 17 cases in their venues out of approx 1.8million visits since July. Why are they targetting hospitality? Footage today shows literally hundreds of kids,most without masks, crammed into a corridor at a Dundee school which recently reported 2 cases. The Scottish Govt have lost the plot and are pursuing an ideological agenda rather than following the evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
