That's pretty strict and very imposing/limiting on larger families. (Unless "support bubble" means more than I thought it did)Quote:

Covid was the underlying cause in 83% of the excess deaths.

The Lothian figure today is a wee bit concerning.
Edinburgh live yesterday were reporting west Lothian is on the watch list. Not good news.Quote:

Where I am and heard of some people who have come back from holiday infected and passed it on. No idea how true that is though. Could just be local gossip gone mad.Quote:

Corrupt to the core.
Apparently it can be 6 people from 6 different households. In Scotland it's a maximum of 3 households.Quote:

I'm not sure what the breakdown of the 29 Lothian cases is today but there's nothing in the previous week's testing results that looks particularly concerning for West Lothian (1 positive in last three days, although there were 14 in the 4 days prior to that).Quote:

Rather oddly Nicola Sturgeon is asked if this is a possibility and refuses to rule it out.Quote:

Getting a bit concerned for our 2 family trip up north next month.

CMO presumably says its not feasible to have another lockdown as the UK government say there is to be no extension of the furlough and other schems - unlike some other European countries that long ago assured there's would be extended.
NS doesn't rule it out as she's part of the political group of parties putting pressure on the UK government to extend furlough etc..
As no-one knows what is going to happen with the virus I personally think its unwise to rule out anything. Particularly after what happened to Australia when their, much milder, winter set in.
That too was my first thought.Quote:
