It's "of the central belt is just being closed for a couple of weeks" before introducing the levels system all over again. A blatant lie that will get followed up with the real plan. No chance in hell schools go back on the 18th, nor will we leave level 4 then. Full lockdown incoming for a few months at least.

Doubt Nicola would lie to us like that. She is well known for being a straight talker, and a good communicator.

Get the impression they're trying to stagger through Christmas Day before hitting us with the full lockdown speech on Boxing Day

Think it's pretty clear the plan is lockdown until enough people have been vaccinated.

The figures getting reported are starting to look a wee bit dodgy. How can south Lanarkshire go from 30 of cases a day to well over a hundred a day in a matter of days. Are we doing more tests or something?

There are clearly cases but basically an increase of 80 a day in a matter of days? Fair enough if it's over a period of a couple weeks.

More than 8% of tests are positive and more people in hospital now than there were at the peak in April - it's low key got completely out of control again. Not much in the media about the numbers these days either.

It was obviously going to go mental in late December. there will be so many unknowingly contagious folk around the country who have been in and out of multiple different houses in the past week or 2 and will continue to do so over new year

Most ICU units in London at or near capacity.

Might have to crack open the Nightingales.

Not surprised is much worse up here as well.

That's shit news.

Do we still have the hospitals ready to go up here? Am I right in saying it was the SECC and EICC in Glasgow/Edinburgh?

The chat seems to be from the very limited people I know who have some sort of connection to working in hospitals is that they've been near enough ghost towns throughout the covid thing. Seems a bit far fetched to think they're now bursting at the seams.

This is incorrect. ICU patients have been getting shipped down to the borders for a few months now from across the central belt. Moreover, a and e has seen a return of people with relatively minor ailments, people that didn't bother over summer.

Even when the overall figures were low the bad cases were still numerous and persistent meaning resources to fight cases of covid have always been stretched.

I just asked my sister this and she doesn't know anything about this? Who you hearing from that they are sending ICU patients to the borders?
