The Scottish govt would certainly have looked wise had they kept their Spain quarantine policy in place, but to have lifted it at such a questionable time only to re-impose it two or three days later makes them look pretty daft. If the UK govt had done the same they'd be getting pelters from a fair few posters on here.Quote:

Less than 100 is just (intended to be) below average/median. I mean the scale should go into minus number territory to be able to adequately describe the stupidity of the Fife hairdresser chappie.Quote:

I've little faith in either the UK or Scottish government currently.

No need for him to worry at all, he'll claim it was not him but Michael Green that was holidaying in Spain.Quote:

I've mentioned before that I have friends who live in Murcia. They got the ferry from Bilbao to Portsmouth and drove up Perthshire on Thursday. They were astonished at how little precautions were in evidence when they arrived at Portsmouth.Quote:

Deaths in the last 7 days in the UK
Scotland 0
N Ireland 0
Wales 2
England 437
With new cases running at over 700 in England in the last couple of days, I don't think they're getting on top of this virus for a while yet. I see the new cases in Scotland have increased slightly (below 30) but I have more confidence in our track and protect system in operation than I've seen in England.
National interventions in Leicester, Oadby and Wigston, Blackburn with Darwen, Luton, enhanced support in Pendle, and areas of concern in Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Wakefield, Rotherham, Peterborough, and Northampton.
England need to up their game. Let's hope they get their new cases down to manageable levels, or we're in this for a while yet.
Agreed. England should maybe take a look at what we have done and learn from it. I think they put too much faith in their failed App.Quote:

A huge part of it's success is really dependant on public compliance, which still seems to be an issue in England.
The lack of tracing seems to be a problem too.Quote:

10 deaths in a day might not seem very many but it's actually been Australia's highest daily rise so far.
The state of Victoria's also had over 450 new cases today, a rise of more than 100 from yesterday's figure.
Having lower numbers to deal with has made it easier to bed the system in but there's more at play than that. Westminster went for a magic bullet approach with the App and also ditched the existing local systems for centralised systems run by private companies who are simply not up to the job.Quote:

Agreed, although the point I'm making is we just don't know if it will be effective if case numbers rise substantially. We just to have hope they don't rise in that way, and if they do, the system can keep on top of it and the public comply.Quote:

Not on a National level. The Govt simply couldn't fund it.Quote:

going to the mainland is not advised.
The Canaries and Balearics are not exempt from the UK government quarantine rules. The only difference is that the FCO doesn't advise against non-essential travel to the islands, but does to mainland Spain.Quote:

Edinburgh airport must be getting ready to open up, staff have been told to get tested at testing centre and be ready to go back to work.Quote:

The FM has said on a few of the daily briefings that track and trace works best when there's low numbers, if they rise it looses traction to the point it becomes a waste of time, she's already said that the lockdown easing will be halted, even reversed to allow t&t get back in control, she's said more than once thats why it's so important we all do our bit (masks, distancing) to ensure the pubs etc stay open. :-/Quote:

I read a week or so ago that WHO recommend something like 1 tracker and tracker to 5,000 population. In the same piece Scotland had 1 for 2,700 and England was something like 7,000.Quote:
