Let people get on with it and make their own decisions now. Are we just constantly going to be in and out of lockdowns?

That is a genuinely terrifying quote from him.
Prof Leitch warned that there had to be a "reverse gear" to protect public health but said further restrictions might not be a "short, sharp shock", but turning off "some bits of society".
Wtf does that mean?

I’m sure someone will be along just now to tell me ‘this is needed’ and that it’s a ‘great idea’

He (and the Government he works with) can go **** themselves if they think anyone will pay any attention to their “reverse” gear.
Unless they can pry the necessary powers from Westminster (or finances) to run their own furlough scheme, its fantasy politics from the SNP.It's hard to stitch my own back with these shaky hands
But even harder to accept the scars you left were planned

If there are genuine concerns that we may need to "turn off some bits of society" then we should be hearing this from the First Minister and if he's spoken out of turn (which he seems to have a history of doing) then someone needs to rein him in.

Why are people so outraged about this? Leitch isn't announcing restrictions, he's hypothesising/speculating about what may have to happen if the figures continue to worsen. As National Clinical Director he's entitled to do so and folk would be moaning if he swerved the questions.
If he starts imposing measures off his own bat then fine, criticise all you want, but that's not what he's doing.
Some folk really do look for any excuse to feel and act affronted.

It's not just Jason Leitch's opinion either.

Folk on here must really really trust the SNP government if they want them to gag the National Clinical Director.

If (and it’s only if at this stage) we find ourselves in a position in a few weeks / months where people can’t have vitally important medical procedures because hospitals are clogged up with covid patients, is it really all that horrific a suggestion that some sort of restrictions were to be put in place?
I might yet join the outraged gang, but I’d like a bit more detail before I jump in with 2 feet.

I think it's mainly an opening spike in Scotland, more testing and mixing at school will obviously add. The numbers have been mental for a few months and allowed to build in Scotland. It's exactly what scot gov wanted, immunity from mass infecting the young. Without furlough, businesses simply cannot close, unemployment causes deaths too.

If we do that and things are still going the wrong way then I'm happy to look at things again at that point.

I said it a few pages back; I hate all the nudge, nudge stuff when it comes to restrictions with weeks of hints, preparation and 'leaks'. We all know it's coming so just be ****ing honest.

My post was more a response to people who are suggesting Leitch was just offering an independent opinion. He's had the FMs ear since day 1 and vice versa. If he's saying something then it's coming from government.

The cases are in 15 to 24 year olds. I'm sure they are not going to listen to Jason leitch unfortunately, especially when they see the English at Leeds and creamfields

Plus I can't see that what he said is fundamentally different from what Sturgeon has been saying so the suggestion that he's doing the government's dirty work seems a tad far fetched to me.
