Seems that today's Covid figures are the highest for a month. As far as I can see over the next 4 to 5 weeks we are due some loosening of restrictions but will this now be allowed? When looking at the 0 to 4 scale (quite why we had to have a 0 to 4 scale compared with a 1 to 5 scale in England is beyond me apart from the likelihood that it petty politics from our 'esteemed' SNP rulers simply to be different) it worries me that we are only likely to go down to level 3 at the end of April. Level 3 has only minimal differences to level 4 and while the general rise in figures announced today may not stop relaxation the lunatic student parties that have put Dundee near the top of case numbers in Scotland surely might. I looked at the levels in general for the first time in months and was surprised/worried to see the level of restrictions remaining when we finally hopefully get down to level 0 (when?). My, wrong, interpretation of level zero was that we would be out of all restrictions by that time apart from some social distancing and mask wearing remnants. Looking at 0 level indoor socializing will still be limited to 8 people from 3 households (ironic when you consider the numbers said to have attended the student parties under level 4 restrictions) and Stadiums, whilst then being allowed to open, will still operate with greatly restricted numbers and there are further ongoing restrictions at this level. Restrictions such as these make a mockery of a system calling its lowest tier level zero. Most folk will likely think that means zero restrictions. If you haven't read the levels recently you should remind yourself, it makes interesting and worrying reading. Once again, I repeat from previous posts, I am rapidly coming round to the realization that it is going to be a hell of a long time before we get back to normal.
