I wonder why they are talking about another lockdown when cases in Scotland have dropped from over 1000 a day to 700 per day?
I know N Ireland and Wales have just gone into lockdown. But in Scotland cases are not rising but seems to be videos from nhs online saying case numbers are rising. The numbers are rising in England but not Scotland
No need to worry then.
We'll be going back into lockdown soon after Xmas if the tiers aren't enough. It's only ever about holding back the tide until the vaccination have protected enough of the vulnerable and the hospital admissions drop.
As for Scotland I suppose they will just stick with the tiers if they are working. Or she will decide on a lockdown if she thinks it will do her image good.

Level 4 for 3 weeks after Xmas. Notice a few on my Facebook struggle with mental health due to this new lockdown. Sad times
I think Scotland are doing the full lockdown thing from Boxing day onwards mostly as a precautionary measure, rather than due to this new strain genuinely running riot there.
I reckon it's odds on that Boris and Matt will do the same throughout the whole of England as well from Boxing Day onwards. And despite the fact that in my region (West Mids) confirmed cases of this new strain are the second lowest in England ATM (and waaay down on London and the SE), I would personally welcome it, if only as a precaution at this stage, regardless of the actual threat.
The only real hope I have right now is the fact that more vaccines are on the horizon over the coming weeks/months, and I really hope they start getting doled out ASAP.
I think the danger is that those fleeing London and the South East last night will take more than their luggage with them. So much for the Great British Public...
This is what frightens me too - viral hitch-hikers. Also disturbing is that King's Cross is to be closed over the entire Christmas period (and part of the New Year) for major engineering works so at some point there will be people swarming around at Peterborough to continue their journey south...
