    The r number is now above 3. It’s always been widely known that it needs to be down at 1 or health and social care could be crippled
    It’s not just about making people unwell it’s also that there’s that many positive cases that it affects the economy
    Just yesterday scotrail cancelled over 100 trains because they don’t have the staff. If we continue allowing the r rate to increase then there’s no * to work in shops, operate public transport, ffs there’ll be massively (even more than usual) understaffed hospitals and no * there to treat the really ill…but aye ok. * aw that and let’s us aw in to watch fitba

    I think that’s how you are just interpreting people’s disgust at the situation.

    … the means isn’t really the issue.. it’s the outcome which yet again leads to unfair situations in our games with supporter numbers.. it might just be bad luck but still creates an unfair situation.

    There will be crowded pubs with more than 500 in them over the same period.

    Match we've been looking forward to for months reduced to a training ground exercise, head wrecked. Should be done a scaling basis, a 60'000 seater ground can have more than 500 & be safe.

    How long is this 500 restriction in for?

    No point in delaying the winter break if it's still enforced mid January

    3 weeks to flatten the curve, 2 weeks to save Christmas, Roll up your sleeves to get vaccinated, Proof of vaccination required for events, You need another Jag to keep your freedom. Back at square one again

    These * lie, what they say is just to maintain power in the short term.

    This was always going to happen, if you’re going to do this postpone the * games then. We all know 3 weeks is a load of * anyway we’ll be lucky to get back by March.

    Tbf I don't mind as long as the data and evidence supports this.

    However, there's no data on football stadia increasing the rates. There's no data on hospital admissions that they want to discuss.

    We're not protecting the vulnerable now. We're protecting the unvaccinated. Tbh, they can get *. I'm not staying in the house, not allowed to go to shops or pubs or restaurants because people aren't vaccinated and are taking up hospital beds because they're the vast majority getting sick.

    She will target the pubs in the coming days as if only 500 allowed in the game on January 2nd then you have thousands going to pubs to watch the game then .

    You genuinely wouldn’t think so, based on the reaction here.

    * the R number.

    This is a pandemic of testing.

    No tests no R number.

    Scotrail is understaffed because of healthy people isolating.

    You can use whatever stats you want to convince yourself this is for the greater good. There has not been a rise in deaths and definitely not in excess mortality.

    * sick of this man. Give us our lives back.

    She can win though, she can start providing the data behind these decisions.

    If 'follow the science' is a mantra to be used with vaccines, social distancing, masks etc. then it should also be shown when big decisions like this are taken.

    Otherwise you risk the public support of future policies.

    50k+ delegates were landed from all over the world last month, COVID testing rules were relaxed for them (but not citizens), members of the public were urged to "open up your homes" to these untested delegates.

    Now 1 month later we are locked out of the football again despite being one of the most vaccinated and compliant with all other measures countries in the world. This absolutely stinks.
