Game on isn’t it? Full house.

Scotland's numbers are spiking, driven by travelling football fans. It's perfect for Sturgeon to continue restricting football crowds after most other things have opened up. She's done worse with less reason - Cup Final as example.

I reckon there will a bit of real politik.

If we will have seen a month of full houses in England, it would be a difficult sale to keep restrictions in Scotland.

On Friday she said it couldn't all be blamed on footy, said the stats showed it was only around a 10% impact so was unfair to blame it on that alone... it was in response to a press question.

Travelling? Where to, London? That’s not ben outside of boundaries for a year now. GNER and BA will testify as will the A1. I’ve spent as much time in London past 12 months as I have in Leith.

People giving up on social distancing as they don’t know anyone suffering with Covid is the real driver. Got to be more than 2000 at the Arsenal game surely! Scottish Government looking foolish over this if hospitals are coping fine with the numbers of Covid patients

There will have been more people on trains in to Edinburgh and Glasgow yesterday, than there were on trains to London a fortnight ago.

Case numbers in Scotland rose quickly to a peak 3 days ago of 4234 and have been falling in big chunks since to sit at 2726 today.
If the case numbers continue to fall in big chunks things will be looking very decent again by next weekend while the English numbers go the other way.
I would happily go back to Easter Road by mid July but I have been avoiding the inside of pubs for obvious reasons.
I am hopeful we will all be back at Easter Road for our 2nd home league game of the season. A shame the open up date isn't August 7th instead of the 10th.
I don't see the first minister holding football back unless a hellish variant surfaces in the meantime.

Hints that mask wearing in England after 19th July will be left to the individual.

Hints that mask wearing in Scotland after 9th August will be subject to government directions.

That's not really what we were told.

Do what you want in England from 19th July, be cautious and continue to wear masks in public transport and shops from 9th August in Scotland.
Pretty simple message. To be honest.

Thank **** I'm in Scotland 😉

Even if cases stay relatively high, the conclusions might be totally different now. 6-12 months ago high cases meant a lockdown or severe restrictions were in the post 4-6 weeks later.

Vaccines are having an impact now. It will depend on that continued and improved impact on hospitalization and sadly deaths that are the steer now, rather than just cases alone.

I phoned for my screening kit. It arrived 4 days later. Submitted and got the result 4 days later. There is a lot more but Covid is not impacting on bowel cancer screening or treatment at this time. If anybody thinks their kit is late phone up it could be one of the most important phone calls you ever make.

Yes indeedy, do this guys. My personal guarantee that it's an absolute life saver. If it's been more than 2years since your last test, or if you're concerned, phone 0800 0121 833 and they'll wheech you a test kit.

The virus will mutate as long as there are people not vaccinated, how long shall we wait until we can get back to normal, as there is a slight chance people may die if they catch covid, vaccinated or not?

Every cancer treatment has taken a back seat due to covid, why should people suffering from any cancer be kept waiting longer because there is a slight chance some folk will catch covid, and then get seriously ill from it?

Not a chance of that up here unfortunately.
Highest rates in Europe, spreading like wildfire.

It's slowing down isn't it, quite dramatic drops the last few days.

I wouldn't say no chance - changes will be happening.

Highest rates currently but also many now vaccinated. Slight increase in hospitalisations (not as bad as 1st or 2nd waves) and low numbers in ICU.

I would expect full stadiums sometime after the 9th August when restrictions finally ease.

Cases will continue to happen as society reopens.

There is every chance, the change in tone from the Scottish Government has been pronounced since May time, they want to get back to normal, and good on them

Yup.

I’m heading down to watch Newcastle games if they keep stopping us watch live football outdoors.

We’re in the normal away stand and the Raith tickets are for the stand behind the goals at the other end so I wonder if they’ve maybe split it 50/50. That would mean there’s 500 for Hibs fans

Kate Forbes on the radio saying the gov want to keep restrictions on numbers at things like weddings and stadium events for a longer period.

I’m going to find it hard watching full stadiums in England and not being able to go to Easter Road.

It'll be a lot easier when they go into a fourth lockdown.
