trooper 940 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 New restrictions on large-scale events from Boxing Day Ms Sturgeon says that restrictions have not been take lightly From 26 December for three weeks, limits on public events in Scotland will be put in place: 100 standing at indoor events 200 seated at indoor events 500 at outdoor seated and standing events Ms Sturgeon says this will include sporting events and "large-scale" Hogmanay celebrations - including Edinburgh's street party - but not events like weddings. It means that sporting stadia will be empty from Boxing Day onwards, with games being played behind closed doors. The first minister says that non-professional contact sports should not go ahead until the end of the first weekend of January. Indoor hospitality will be moved to table service only, with social distancing implemented. No more than three households will be allowed to gather. There will be financial help, Ms Sturgeon says, for those industries impacted - with £175 million extra allocated to business support in Scotland - bringing the total to £375 million.

Christmas Tree 4711 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 So tonight Sky reporting some experts are saying Ormicron may have already peaked. Also isolation cut from 10 days to 7 as long as you pass a lateral flow test on day 6 and 7. I could be free tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem like a wackjob, won't accept Omicron is milder until there is data etc, but he'd run a number of models from horrendously pessimistic to relatively benign, and the thing that he said about all of them was that they ALL showed Omicron peaking really soon and falling away. Anyway, I hope he and the sky reports are correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44503 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'm off for a PCR this morning. Monday night I felt fucking dreadful - full body ache, temperature. Went to bed and woke up feeling worse yesterday morning and was convinced that the beast was upon me. By teatime I was absolutely fine. So I've got the test just in case - I'd been reading that if you're super boosted you can get this big onset of symptoms as your immune system goes into overdrive when the virus arrives. I'm sure nobody would be surprised if I'd got it and defeated it within 24 hours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44503 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Aye yesterday. Negative lateral flow. Saw that graph the other day though about how early on the LFT has a much higher threshold for spotting infection so you can get a negative there but a positive on a PCR at the same time. So thought I'd make sure before mixing with people at Christmas. I absolutely don't think I've got it any more though, having been convinced I had at this time yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how it all just feels normal to have to do this shit now. This is my 3rd, one last October, negative, and one a few weeks later at work which everyone had to have. Youngest had a week in nursery as part of a work experience thing in her last week before breaking up which should've been cancelled really and was tested on Sunday as she had some symptoms, probably caught at the nursery. She was negative so I'm hoping it's just me getting whatever she's picked up and not me catching covid from going out on Saturday night, which I didn't really fancy but hadn't seen my mates for a bit and their was a slight bit of huffiness from the last time about something daft so felt it needed the effort. I'll be pissed off if I've got it as I altered plans to go out and couldn't really be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn got tested Sunday dinner time, had results by 9-ish next day so hoping mine might even beat that as I was in earlier in the day plus it's a weekday. The wife really pissing me off so sooner the better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44503 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Honestly if I get a positive, I'm gonna have to try really hard not to look absolutely made up about it. The amount of shit it'll get me out of having to do over Christmas is unreal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the times I'd have took it this is the last time I'd want it as I've still got to get some stuff, it'll put me in the bad books and I'm already off work so no benefits there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
