    It’s to stop people having to shout to be heard, the idea being that droplets travel a further distance when you do so.
    Cheers, makes sense, hadn't thought of that

    Daily Scottish update;

    43 new cases since yesterday - 27 in Grampian
    Decrease of 8 in the confirmed cases in hospital
    No change in the confirmed cases in intensive care
    No deaths registered since yesterday
    Better numbers than yesterday. And given the outbreak up there, not too bad. The stat at the bottom is always a welcome sight.

    Well done to them. Social distancing looks like it is being observed as well.

    Tv's banned completely or no volume
    Banned completely is my understanding based on what I've heard today.

    Apart from the Aberdeen outbreak the numbers are not too bad. No TVs or background music in pubs? That will just essentially finish many of them off.

    No deaths for 20 odd days, no rises in hospital admissions or ICU cases for around a month and they take a measure that will be the end of many people's livelihoods. First time I can say I disagree with what Nicola Sturgeon is doing. It'd an overreaction.

    Sturgeon "furious" with the Aberdeen players.

    And rightly so. They have made utter fools of everybody who worked so hard to get football played at all.

    Sturgeon saying the Aberdeen players' breach won't necessarily delay the return of fans, provisionally booked in for 14th September.

    It's quite concerning that NHS Grampian have listed one of the Brewdog bars in Aberdeen among those visited by known cases yet the bar themselves have tweeted to say, as of yesterday, no one from the tracing team had contacted them. Further they had taken contact information from everyone who had visited their bar, made contact to offer it and hadn't been called back.
    Heard Sturgeon saying how these highly trained experienced people are on top of contact/tracing then I read that some of them haven't done any of the actual work they're employed to do.

    I very much doubt they were the only footballers out on Saturday. Let’s hope they all get the message now.

    United we stand here....

    I'm sure Jack Ross and Leeann Dempster will be pleading with our squad to behave.

    A friend of mine, in Edinburgh, has been working for the NHS England tracking team for about 6 weeks. She’s worked 48 hours every week and receives just under £10 per hour. She has not made one call and neither have any of the 100 odd others in her team. Incredible waste of our money.

    I don't really have an issue with this as long as those people are trained and fully ready to pick up the workload if cases rise and more contacts need traced. Calling it an incredible waste of money is like calling a warehouse full of unused PPE a waste of money. Being prepared to deal with a pandemic costs money that might turn out not to have been needed - it's the very nature of it. Obviously it's a balancing act but we can't expect every contact tracer to have a full workload right now, otherwise there would be no contingency for an escalation.

    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Condisering 13000+ new tests were carried out those figures don't look too bad at all. If we can stop the Aberdeen outbreak in it's tracks then we are still in a pretty good place all things considered.

    I think it was a bit confusing, but no external noise from TV, jukebox etc which would mean people having to raise their voice to have a conversation is probably the easiest way to explain it.

    Sorry I think I may have given that impression with my earlier post, I was posting it as it was being broadcast so I have missed that detail.

    However I think given the nature of today's briefing, a lot of pubs simply won't be risking showing sport (particularly live football) on TVs at all - even on mute. People shouting has been specifically mentioned as a problem today and also in the past and obviously if there's football fans watching games in pubs, shouting about incidents during the match is inevitable.

    The section of NS speech today ...

    Premises should be collecting and keeping contact details.

    Wherever possible, people should pre-book tables in advance. And there should be no queueing.

    People should be seated, with table service.

    Customers should not be standing together to watch football, dancing, or queuing at the bar.

    There should be no queueing outside either. If it is unavoidable for any reason, those in queues should be physically distanced.

    And there should be no background music – or volume from the TV. We don’t want people having to shout or lean in to each other in order to be heard.
