Every day the vaccine rolls out

Yeh, the Tier thresholds are now in line with WHO guidelines and are stricter than before. I’ve no problem with that nor the whole country entering an initial Tier 3 as a first step to progressing steadily from there but from the beginning of April, not the end. That first date of April 26th for this was ridiculous, unnecessary, not based on science and a total slap in the face for the population.

Especially when you see the case numbers as they are now. The likes of Angus deserve the chance to open up and get back to normal now, never mind in 6 weeks time.

Think by what I gather from what she said today won't matter if dundee or angus are 0/100,000 they are going to tier3 with central belt areas only islands might get to go to lower tiers and think they are on 0/100,000 now.

The Western Isles has had quite a big problem in this lockdown for some reason and are now just seeing figures under 10/100k. Shetland may be on zero, but has 6 cases over the last few days so that will change.

I personally think the islands should be surge vaccinated when you look at populations of around 20k each and vaccination rate are mostly already above 50%.

Not sure if I picked up right on what she was saying earlier.Think she said she is going to talk to Islands to see if they want to go in a lower tier because once tier system starts working again people will be allowed to travel all over scotland with all the main land in tier 3 no matter infection rates in different areas including Islands and she thinks if they are in a lower tier could have people traveling from say worst parts of glasgow that might be 400/100,000 to there and then spreading it worse if tier is lower.Think that was what she was saying.

Yes, she is asking what the islands want and that can only be a good thing. I am not sure though if i picked up that restricting travel to the islands may also be a consideration despite what Tier the traveller may come from?

As an aside, i dont think im too far off the mark to say that the reason The Western Isles found themselves with a constant stream of infections in this lockdown, is down to having to come to the mainland for essential hospital treatments. Switching what you say about travelling from Glasgow, having to visit hospitals there might have caused their issues, while those in Orkney and Shetland can travel to Aberdeen and Inverness where the virus is less prevalent.

Yeah you could well be right noticed that some areas of glasgow are still in the high 400/100,000 infections and that is before the next two old firm games and the scottish cup.Never really got all wee nic was saying today but seemed loads more optimistic than last time.
