This might have been better coming from someone else, with less baggage.

Here's a piece about how/why viruses mutate that's bordering on understandable.

Possibly a choice of two threads to post this on but it's interesting that today that the Sky News site has a headline story of 'Positive COVID tests in England rise by 58% in a week, with 'sharp' rise in Wales. Pretty staggering figures and of course of great concern o all.
Meanwhile, the BBC site has a lead story, of the continuing 'verge of Brexit deal' stuff. Any news of Covid is a fair old scroll down the page contained under 'World News'.

Anyone heard anything as to further restrictions being announced in Scotland this coming Saturday?
I was told that it's to be a complete shutdown with tougher measures.

Sturgeon's already alluded to the fact that they believe level 4 restrictions may not go far enough.

It's inevitable, like you I'd be surprised if something was announced in only 2 days time.

Rules are something like you must not leave your home/garden without a 'reasonable excuse'. Excuses include going to work (if you can't work at home) and other essential activities such as buying food or medicine locally or to access critical services such as education or childcare. You can exercise in a public place with some conditions.
Outside of education, it's pretty much back to March.

What we didn't have then also though was the reassurance of having a vaccine. That's a massive plus factor in the whole scheme of things is the thought I'm holding on to.Last edited by stu in nottingham; 24-12-2020 at 04:58 PM.

However for a large number of people vaccination is still many months away in the future, possibly as many months in the future as we've already experienced since the first lockdown and the thought that we might only be around half way through this is really tough.
That's before we even consider that what the vaccine gives us longer term is still relatively unknown for this disease - and no I'm not talking about whether it possibly results in us growing a third armpit or a second forehead but more along the lines of how long it protects us for. I don't think anyone really knows the answer to that at the moment.
The handling of the pandemic so far across the UK also leaves a lot of people sceptical about how efficient the vaccination programme will be.
I'm hopeful that we might see a return to a bit of normality at some point next year but it's still a long way off at the moment.

News of a more transmissible strain being found in Dumfries and Galloway "very concerning".

I'm not sure if it's just the way I read that BBC report but it suggests that yet another new strain has been found (i.e. apart from the new one spreading in the south and the SA strain. This report seems to state quite clearly that it's the 'new strain being seen in the south and east of England.
'The new strain of coronavirus spreading quickly in the south East of England has been found in Dumfries and Galloway.
Public health officials believe the new variant, which is said to be more infectious, is associated with an outbreak of cases in Wigtownshire, with a further case identified in the lower Annandale area.'

If you're not happy with my contribution then perhaps you could either put me on ignore or stop reading the thread.
