A key factor to over coming cancer is early detection, if screening stops that can’t happen. In the 1st phase of this, decks were cleared, for anticipated pressure on NHS. The reason it didn’t happen was down to the lockdown ie no social contact. The restrictions on social contact are again to try and avoid NHS being overrun with the combination of flu/Covid, and hopefully allow other procedures to go ahead. Fairly simple really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any person feels comfortable to go about their daily lives then that should be absolutely fine , if they’re concerned about their health or have underlying health conditions and feel uncomfortable going about their business that should also be fine . It should be the individual’s choice in how they deal with the situation. This post demonstrates that you have no idea about the virus. If you meet anyone, it’s not just a risk you are taking, you are risking everybody else you come into contact with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you meet anyone, it’s not just a risk you are taking, you are risking everybody else you come into contact with. After years there is no vaccine for SARS, it took decades to come up with one for flu, but that’s only one strain at a time, small pox took 100’s of years to eradicate using a virus. None of these caused mass lockdowns or impacts to our freedoms like we have seen for last 6 months. This current situation cannot run for years or society as we know it is finished, family units broken, economy ruined, mass unemployment like nothing we’ve seen, hospitality sector gone, professional sporting events ended for good. If this goes for say another year the above will happen. You may be secure enough with funds/pension that it may not affect you to badly, but anyone under 55 with a mortgage reliant on their job is going to be devastated if this keeps going, not to mention the teenagers leaving schools into a decimated jobs market, and no government can continue to pay furlough for another year. Theses businesses won’t open again as demand has gone and consumer spend has dropped. This could also apply to Scottish football if leagues mothball for a season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has Hospitality been singled out with only a 5% transmission rate , why not any other sectors, think most people realised when schools and Universities opened this would happen. Hospitality has been open since the start of July at a lot of expense , a lot more expense than for instance retail shops where there is no track and trace . Hospitality is a convenient scapegoat.

There was no national lockdowns then, closing pubs at 10 (2 hours early) makes no difference, it actually increases the congestion at taxi and bus queues. Your OK for 10’s of thousands to lose jobs with the issues that will cause? Businesses to close? Kids to miss out on one or 2 years of education? Old people to be alone for months or years on end?

Old people to be alone for months or years on end? from bbc article on Spanish flu ( just so you know ) There was no centrally imposed lockdown to curb the spread of infection, although many theatres, dance halls, cinemas and churches were closed, in some cases for months.
