There hasn't been a review yet, first one's on Tuesday. Sturgeon hinted the other day that Fife would be in level 3 from next week.Quote:

Horrific.
They said it was because the totals were under reported in the last few days.Quote:

Even if under-reported, Friday's tally in France was still a record high number of infections. As you say the figures coming out of France and Italy are devastating - and we're not so very far behind in the UK.Quote:

West Lothian maybe being the exception.
Except they are going to cull all mink so it won't be an issue.Quote:

Nah, I don't think so, purely because West Lothian has higher case numbers and St John's covid wards are at capacity. It has the potential to impact the whole Health Board capacity, for that reason, I think for the time being they will continue taking a cautious approach.Quote:

Leaving her living alone surely isn't the right option so what are we "allowed" to do?
She has her 2 sons fairly close by in Edinburgh but she doesn't drive and obvious with her age isn't the most mobile. So basic essentials become a bit of a task now

This virus has been around for nearly a year now and it’s fairly obvious that with such a vast number of cases reported that a % of those will end up badly sick in hospital and possibly die. Trying to downplay the virus and the impact it has won’t make it go away, it just makes you look like a ****.Quote:

Thanks for asking, I tested negative.Quote:

Fab. Cheers for getting backQuote:

Now we know of the spread between humans and mink, surely that can all be managed as well? Things such as humans wearing heavy duty PPE to prevent spread.
It’s obviously not good news but I don’t see why it must be catastrophic.
It would be worse in this country. We’d have it spread far, wide and totally out of control whilst we debate whether or not the economic damage of culling the mink was worth enduring. What about house prices and the value of our pensions?
