Local Lockdown in Aberdeen

[Andyh82]

Has she ? , early on in the daily briefings I heard her emphasise how Scotland could potentially come out of lockdown sooner than other parts of the UK, which isn’t compatible with her present strategy of largely waiting for others to move first in case things goes wrong

It’ll be interesting what happens when schools reopen as it’s the first time she’s having to go first

Collecting customer details isn't compulsory:

Thanks - never realised that.

Although Ms Sturgeon has just confirmed that it will be mandatory for all hospitality venues to collect customer information from next Friday.

Face coverings also to be mandatory in more indoor venues, and if visors are worn, masks must be worn as well. I've got a horrible feeling we're about to see a lot more restrictions imposed throughout Scotland.

Got to be seen to be taking action! The danger is that the politicians then can't stop, and keep on coming up wiht more and more petty restrictions.

Sturgeon's authoritarian tone is deeply unpleasant, and I worry where this will end.

If the Scottish have any sense, May

There is evidence that visors used on their own offer little protection either to the wearer or to others. They are effectively just a sneeze-guard
For serving staff in a pub or restaurant they look like the ideal way to deflect your breath (and whatever is carried in it) down directly onto the food or drinks

In a clinical environment visors are almost always used in conjuction with some form of mask - the visor protects the eyes, the mask protects the nose/mouth/lungs.
I know it's not definitive proof but I have seen a couple of posts from clinical staff explaining when and why they would use a visor and it's almost always in addition to RPE never alone

That's certainly what I've read.

But clearly not everyone is of that opinion.

So would that include herself and other politicians in Holyrood doing so or let me guess bypass it? (one rule for us one rule for them)
So at a guess she will expect this in gyms if they open in September?

I laughed when I heard her giving speech in terms of the football players... yes no one is perfect but Nicola you ain’t no saint either...

Yet quite possibly don’t follow the rules either...

I don't dispute that visors are fairly useless, but I am not convinced that masks are much better either.

Sturgeon has extended the local lockdown in aberdeen for a third week, meaning all hospitality closed, no household mixing, 5 mile limit on travel for another week.

There’s been very few hospitalisations and absolutely no deaths as a result of this outbreak, is it truly justified?

No, she's throwing her weight around and picking fights with the council.

There was a bit of a debate on Politics Scotland regarding this, seems to me its slowly evolving to the council v Sturgeon clash, I wonder then after this week she will lift it? (wasn't this similar to Doncaster it was 3 then it got lifted?), if she pushes it for 4th week I am sure that even some locals will kick up.

Yet she doesn't much care to closer to home under her own watch (quelle surprise)

This is because the SNP are really bitter about not controlling Aberdeen council. They're the biggest party, but the other parties formed a coalition and kept them out of power. It's playing dirty, but certainly no worse than a million things the SNP has done.

Oh I do agree with you here, still though such a thing as karma for the SNP it’s the waiting game in my book.

We'll see what happens when there's a cluster in Glasgow Southside

I doubt anything if I am honest, the cluster in Lanarkshire proved that even for me, just a slapped wrist but business as usual

The Regulations say

Expiry
9.—(1) These Regulations expire at the end of the period of three weeks beginning with the day on which they come into force.

So unless a new set of Regulations are made or these ones are amended the last day should be the 26th.

Hopefully Aberdeen should be out then or unless she pushes it further
