Could've happened anywhere re a lockdown.  

Will assume wanting a lockdown extended is a fishing attempt.  

Folk showing there self rightouesness in all of this is pretty amazing. 

Obviously a fishing attempt from me. 

Should definitely serve as a lesson to folk across Scotland on how to behave in pubs though.

Not a fishing attempt at all - I think it is for the greater good, at least until the industry can figure out how to make it work properly.
 

Re-opening of pubs and associated lack of social distancing was clearly a step too far - Aberdeen is now suffering the consequences of that. I don’t doubt that the FM will do the same again, so I’d rather not have some pubs and foolish muppets effectively being able to put entire regions of the country into lockdown because they can’t be trusted.
 

Pubs and other leisure services are hardly essential - so if that is the sacrifice that has to be made then so be it.

The pubs aren't a major thing for me to be honest. I've 2 kids under 5 so it's not something I get to regularly do.  I went once when they were open and everything was spot on (contact details, only getting in with a table etc) so shite for them to potentially be locked down again.

However 99% of folk do stick to the "rules" not just in Aberdeen but everywhere I'd guess.   It's unfortunate it's happened here and spread. It's also not sustainable to continually lockdown somewhere when there is a spike. Virus might always be here?  

The 5 mile thing, come on now that should be binned. Making folk feart to travel to the shire and similarly a bunch of folk in the shire window twitching at people the dont recognize... That's not healthy for anyone. 

There were similar numbers in the shire and city yesterday....

Some of you lot are so docile and compliant it's worrying. It's not pubs or their customers that 'put entire regions of the country into lockdown' it's power mad politicians using fear mongering tactics that did it. 

No one seems to be asking about a route out of this, no one has died for a month, will we still be locking down cities even if no one has died for 6 months? A year? How many jobs, evictions, mental health problems are worth keeping covid numbers down?

Word of a free, mandatory covids vaccine for the Oz public when it’s ready.

Fuckin fantastic. Just need to decide if eh am a lab mouse or monkey for the testing coz it sure as fuck won’t be thoroughly tested when it’s unleashed on the public.

It'll most probably be a placebo. They'll never admit they've gone OTT with this nonsense so a 'vaccine' that can let us get back to normal whilst they save face is the most likely outcome. Any further illness will be written off as 'mild muatations' and deaths will be recorded as pneumonia.

If you go to the broady then watch oot for the ferocious youngsters 

seems to have calmed down after 6 of them were banned . Stricter measures in place now , taking your details as you enter . The pool table area has been closed. I suggested 2 could book the table for an hour which they seemed to take onboard

Do cunts still do that thing where they place their coins on the table edge because they want on next ? 

Lol. Fuck off mate . I’ll tell you when I’m done.

It's not an either or though, is it? If numbers grow exponentially again then we have all those side effects plus loads more dead and sick people. 

I get what your saying but surely the vast majority of folk are fine? Im nae expert however.  Every day just now it's job losses. 

One argument though. I have a underlying health condition I suppose you could say.  I look after myself and control it well to the point that folk would never know unless I mention - I'm nae fancying losing a limb or going blind. My 6 monthly check up is cancelled due to Covid. Nae massive issue for the reasons mentioned.  However if this gets cancelled again I'll be annoyed. Peace of mind and all that. 

Also there are heaps of folk with the same condition who don't look after themselves so well and struggle...its potentially very dangerous for them to have check ups cancelled. 

Complete tunnel vision to Covid at the minute.  For every routine check up to be cancelled is scandalous imo

Disgusting talking about our First Minister like this.

Yeah. Most folk are but the problem, I think, is that if we let the virus get to high levels in the general population again then it's impossible to "protect the vulnerable". How do we have people look after them, clean their care homes, treat them when sick? 

Unfortunately I think every economy in the world is going to take a hit until this is over. No matter the approach taken. I guess the hope is that governments invest sufficiently in stimulus packages to drive recovery as sharply as possible once we're back to complete normal. I'm no economist though.

Agree totally. Everything else can't grind to a halt because of Covid. I'm not sure if they could even be doing more appointments remotely if they don't want everyone going in to hospitals etc? I've no idea the situation with different conditions, as the only people I know with ongoing health issues and regular appointments/treatments are still having them. Albeit the regularly scheduled appointments have been via telephone.

I still think they fucked up big time by giving deadlines with the pubs.

If they just said bars are open normally from Tuesday, you would have got your dominoe playing pensioners in during the day, folk going for a pint after work and ok a couple of idiots later on at night. But by giving a deadline everybody  (me included and incidentally signed in and naebody has contacted and traced me) went out for a beer - stupidly yes but always going to happen.

Personally don't think the virus has spread at all in our area. Don't even think it is prevalent at all. All of a sudden if you have a cough, fever or loss of taste or smell, you have the Coronavirus instead of the 'flu. I remember the days when you phoned in sick to your work when you had a heavy cold or'flu and was told never to come back, sacked there and then. I wonder if the same employer-to-employee approach applies if you may have the virus?

It has simply been an opportunity for the Scottish Government, in particular Nicola Sturgeon, to flex her authority and spitefully impose an unnecessary lockdown on Aberdeen, in the aftermath of results attained from people who normally would not have been tested (i.e. the lower and working classes).

Who's to deny that they were carrying a strain of the virus well before the weekend in question?

There is absolutely no biological evidence to suggest that the virus spread due to people having the audacity to have a night out in Aberdeen.

Top tip: When being a smart arse, best to make sure your post actually makes sense.

Don't you actually get tested if you have one of those symptoms to find out if you have it, rather than just deciding it is the case?

Exactly. Go book a test and find out.

In my opinion they are stringing this out to make it look worse than it is to save the slimy political skins they have.  Way over the top and now milking it to new levels to merit the early action.  At least Covid 19 has cured nearly all other illnesses related to death. ?

You'll be glad to know the redistribution of your 6 monthly services have gone towards accumulating agency staff from other parts of the world to work in NHSG on 2 or 3 times the pay of the locals whilst foregoing the standards of NHS Scotland. 
 

I don't think the nhs will ever recover from Covid-19. And inquiries will expose the awful mismanagement for years to come. 
 

as someone mentioned above, the curtain twitching culture that has now become widespread is a real stain on society. 
 

England knocking 5000 off their death stats due to reclassifying deaths is farcical.

Hopefully we see a labour resurgence from this and the snp can get themselves to fuck
