Scottish Government moving the goalposts

That was the advice for Level 0 in January, before the success or failure of the vaccine programme could be built in. Now almost all the vulnerable groups have been vaccinated, I cannot see them continuing with levels beyond June/July, especially if the English government have opened up everything. Pointless going over to the dark side just yet, give it till June

I sincerly hope you are correct.

The caution exercised in Scotland has been just as much about the May elections as controlling the virus. Come June, there will be hardly any 'with covid' deaths at all and those will be very dubious involving very elderly people, there will be no reason for any restrictions. These are just my opinions, I'm not saying any of this is fact, I'll leave that to 'others'. I'm happy to give them till June before declaring myself one of your crew, assuming I'm allowed to join

The biggest problem of the lot is going to be when everyone comes out of lockdown including those who have been shielding since 23rd March 2020. There is going to be an explosion of colds, flu and all the other air borne viruses as people have lost their immunity to being in large crowds.
Last Saturday my next door neighbour on Islay told me that when the schools returned last August nearly every pupil in her kids class at primary school caught the cold.
