Incidentally, the death rate from Coronavirus in Scotland is the highest in the UK.
Well for a start they have an open border with the North of England. But it's common courtesy in a union to inform political heads before releasing a press briefing is it not?

Re: Covid advice.

On the given advice, use common sense.

Politicians and the advisors have to be very cautious about what they say, the exasperation shows. Figure it out.

Adaptability, to look after yourself those you live and work with. Respectful when having to use public transport. Empathy for people who are doing their best in exceptional circumstances.

Re: Covid advice.

I wonder if the word "alert" is deliberate because it will be linked to the app for tracking and tracking...

The trouble with this is that many out there have no common sense, no respect and zero empathy. Such as the vile monster who deliberately spat at two key workers (were they police or medics?) Anyway one tragically died because of this sick animal. So the advice of using common sense only applies to responsible citizens. That's what makes vague guidance dangerous.

Everyone should be made to wear a mask in public because if they are wearing a face cover they cannot spread it easily to others. If you both wear one It's just like wearing a raincoat. I honestly do not understand why we are not making masks en masse in factories as a priority.

Not a lot you can do about individuals who are intellectually disabled.

Re: Covid advice.

Ann Widdecombe defends PM on GMB. Thought he was clear about changing the slogan from stay at home to stay alert.

'To minimise the risk when you’re out and about and you really have choice on the matter, you should and you must maintain social distancing and that is common sense…’

...that where you have no choice, then you just have to use as many precautions as you can in that situation. ‘We have expected that of key workers, throughout the whole lockdown and now the rest of us have got to do the same.’
