Scotland tops Europe hotspot charthttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-57712737
The only areas in the table outside the UK are Nur-Sultan City in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation's capital, Moscow.
According to the latest ONS infection survey figures, Scotland is believed to have the highest Covid rate in the UK, with estimated levels in the Scottish population 73% higher than in England, triple those in Wales and more than four times higher than those in Northern Ireland.
The Scottish government wants to move all parts of Scotland to level 0 on 19 July, which First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said would be "a significant step back to normality".
It expects to have completed second doses for all over-40s by 26 July.
Two weeks later - on 9 August - the major remaining legal Covid restrictions could be lifted.
Blimey, that's so out of control that it's almost a runaway .....

Yep...my health board is Greater Glasgow & Clyde, which to be fair, covers a vast area. My own little corner of that though is worrying with a +3.1 rise in cases since last week. No deaths though. Most of the local school are reporting incredibly high levels of absenteeism.05-07-2021, 05:09 PM

Most rules set to end in England, says PMhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57725523
The rule of six inside private homes will be removed and work-from-home guidance abolished as 16 months of on-off restrictions on daily life end.
The PM said he expected the final step would happen as planned on 19 July.
This will be confirmed on 12 July after a review of the latest data.
Further updates on school bubbles, travel and self-isolation will follow in the coming days, Mr Johnson said.
Speaking at a Downing Street news conference, Mr Johnson said the ability to end a vast majority of legal restrictions in England was thanks to the success of the vaccine rollout.

isn't until August 9th, but I'll still be taking the same precautions as I have been, with regard to avoidance, mask wearing, and sanitising. Don't care what anyone says I CAN do, I'll be doing what's right for me.
