Daily Scottish update;
8 new cases since yesterday
Decrease of 100 in hospital including a decrease of 11 in the confirmed cases
Decrease of 2 in intensive care
4071 have left hospital since 5th March
1 death registered since yesterday
Total number of deaths in the week up to 28th June is below the average from the last 5 years - first time since March.
Thanks again, the encouraging trend continues. Big decrease in hospital after yesterday's similarly large increase - not sure what's happening there, but anyway...!Quote:

829 new cases and 176 new deaths across the UK since yesterday.
I don't think it's just Leicester that needs locked down.
They're just not getting it, are they? And yet they're still planning to reopen pubs this coming weekend...worse is to come!Quote:

I find it crazy that it would be anything but normal for a country to want to protect its occupants
England in UK terms is terrible right now so why is it appalling?

What's the difference between shutting Scotland off from England (if required) and creating "a bubble" around Leicester?Quote:

He’ll never agree to it.

Scotland isn't a very normal place though.Quote:

Scotland does none of these things and chooses English people to do these for them so I can quite understand Boris Johnson's comments.
From his point of view it is "appalling" that Scotland is considering (however remotely) border controls as again from his point of view his power is being challenged as that's a decision English people should always make utterly without question.
Rest assured if it was the other way around there would be tanks, razer wire and barricades by the weekend without any meaningful discussion of that there is no question.
I don't wish to go as far as "agreeing with Boris" but I don't agree with the idea of closing things off at the border so simplistically.Quote:

The economy has been hit enough we don't need to complicate things with our #1 tourist industry customer.
In Hancock's mind maybe.Quote:

Wales and Scotland occupy the top spots for the virus per 100k of population.
As for tanks....LOL.
Thanks. :aok:Quote:

Can we really trust any figures from this government?
How can you tell if a tory is lying? Their lips are moving!Quote:
