Is Scotland beating this?

kath72

In Scotland, which has been slowest to release lockdown measures, the R rate is the lowest in the UK
No deaths and only a handful of new cases in the past few days too

Hi Kath
That's because people like you and I have been listening to our Nicola (or is it Janey 😁) and doing what we've been asked to do. It's not so hard is it?
Mind you, like everywhere, there have been the idiots that haven't listened! 😡
Stay safe.
Caroline 😊

Janey 😉

I guess the weather has discouraged some of the shop queuing today too ... I mean there’s a couple of things I’d like to buy but not enough to stand in the rain for 3 hours waiting on primark opening ... obvs some people did though

I really feel for people with young children who have had to get them through the beautiful weather we’ve had without being able to get new sizes of summer clothes ... I’m getting the winter wardrobe out again today though

Tbf to Nicola she’s done a fabulous job so far.

I really hope we’re beating this and as shops open in Glasgow today , only time will tell but I won’t be rushing out with the mob as yet 👍

Nicola has really done her best for us in Scotland, it’s been a long road, but we are getting there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Excellent progress here today with easing restrictions

can travel more than 5 miles tomorrow (unless you’re in the area with a spike in cases)

keep 2m rule until 10th when it will be eased ‘in some situations with additional protections in place

face coverings in shops mandatory

kids under 12 can now mix freely out of doors … those whole street football games are back on

12-17 year olds can mix with more than 1 group of 3 households outside per day (so they are not stuck if their parents want to see their friends)

Nicola has been sensible again
