Tier 1 .... makes no difference.

Tier 2 .... makes no difference.

Tier 3 .... makes no difference.

Tier 4 .... makes no difference.

Lockdown 1 .... makes no difference.

Firebreak ....  makes no difference.

Lockdown 2  .... makes no difference.

Close the Scots and Welsh Borders ....  makes no difference.

Masks, School closures, destruction of hospitality, industry destroyed ...  makes no difference.

 

And breath ....

 

We're off to Glasgow in the morning ... Tier 3 to Tier 2 then Tier 4 then "Tier Scotland "....

And after each lockdown the R number,  and infections got higher and higher and higher ...  so, erm, like, you are erm, like wrong and stuff.

And today we've seen huge crowds going shopping ... Really !!

The restrictions work what doesn't work is people not following them and carrying on as normal!

Yeah right we all got to die haven’t we so why bother, let’s just transmit it and get it over with.

Doing X does not work because when we don’t do X the thing it was doing stops!

That’s the point everyone’s got to isn’t it. If I’m gonna die soon then I’m bored waiting n let’s just get on with it. Except some people really aren’t ready and I have no right to make that decision on their behalf... unless it’s my mother in law, then you can bring it on!

@Trooper74 it’s the huge crowds shopping that causes the spread.

My tiers are shot to hell. When it's suitable my wife and I will be visiting my son and his family to meet our newest grandson.  We'd been isolating etc to prepare for Christmas which was knocked into touch due to boy's arrival. So we'll be having a late Christmas.  I'm also going north to see my dad as his support bubble on the 29th. HMG can kiss my ass.
