I don't really think a second full lockdown like March-May would work this time round, as many would simply rebel against it, and policing it would no doubt pose an even bigger challenge now than last time.

Let’s see what this entails before we start hitting the panic button.
I agree with you Gary.
It will probably be a walk in the park compared to the previous (full) lockdown back in the spring. Especially as a lot more is now known about the virus than back then.
According to the BBC article, Nicky Sturgeon has reiterated that it won't be like the situation back in March-May.
Fingers crossed for the vaccines to come soon.

We were in the Scottish Highlands this time in 2014, while also visiting relative in England. How times have changed, just can't imagine ever doing it again :(
Re: Scotland goes back into lockdown 7pm Friday
You all, remember all the lockdowns I've been through here in CA? You all will get through this too. Take it one day at a time and try not to obsess. :hugs:
Re: Scotland goes back into lockdown 7pm Friday
So back into lockdown pubs bowling restaurants bingo all closed. Why do we have the worst politicians in this country? England set to follow. Only Labour oppose if only we had them in power. They don’t care about cineworld going under or the pub redundancies announced today it’s all about control.
Re: Scotland goes back into lockdown 7pm Friday
It's not lockdown, Phil. Just some restrictions which are hardly "draconian".
As for "control"...It's an inconvenience to your routine, I'm sure but you're hardly under curfew.

We have avoid public transport message too. Everything other than shops and gyms shut so it is a lockdown.
Re: Scotland goes back into lockdown 7pm Friday
You'll be okay, Phil. We went through this for months. It sucks, but it really does keep the infections down.
Re: Scotland goes back into lockdown 7pm Friday
Sturgeon has announced £40m to help industry.
I'm glad the 2m rule is making a comeback. Once they dropped that I saw many people not bother at all. And putting pressure on business who have also relaxed is a good thing.
It's harsh on the pubs but they will be one of the big factors. Just look at the pictures of idiots in city centres not following any of the rules.
Labour are a dying breed in Scotland. It's up to you guys whether you want to keep endorsing Nicola's quest for independence. The last GE only instructed her to push harder.

I agree that it's not about 'control'.
People were saying the very same things about New Labour 12 years ago during the Global Financial Crisis and of course various other 'crises' before it.
I wonder if Phil was one of those people (dare I ask)?
