Yes, we are still locked up, and i dont have a date in mind for when this is over. Last week I was confident the data was heading firmly in the right direction, but this past week we are seeing daily figures in the 600s, and the 7-day average on the rise through the 500s which means that we are where we should be just now.

Where do you get the 1% figure from that scientific data says are in real danger? If only 1% of the Scottish Adult Population were most at risk from this, why did the JCVI come up with a list of 9 Cohorts, that by my best estimate contains nearly 3m of a population of 4.5m?

Will it go away or not? Well the message on that just now is we will have to live with this for a number of years, but there is some good news being gathered that the current vaccines are reducing transmission, and if lockdown and future restrictions try to eliminate this virus, maybe we wont be subjected to any restrictions 2-3 weeks after the last vaccine has been administered.
