I don't understand your comment about the over 70s.  They had to isolate.  No one in government was concerned enough to find out whether the over 70s were healthy or had underlying conditions which meant stay at home.  They were all lumped into the same cage.  They were given 3 months isolation.  Not even allowed an hours daily exercise, though some I know did go out early or very late.

Over 70's didn't have to self isolate - they were allowed out once a day for exercise the same as the rest of us as long as there's no underlying health condition. Many volunteers who have been delivering food and medication are over 70.

America has a lot of human rights abuse too... And Boris describes them as our best ally.

I agree that we should be more self sufficient, and not abandon all our manufacturing , it puts people out of work, and it also leaves us vulnerable.

But unfortunately, it's all about profits.

Yes, very good point Shady  :-)

Don't forget the Gulf States either.  But of course we need the oil.

I started to read this thread back ........ it seems some responses have been removed as others no longer make sense 

[Sparrow]

Reads fine to me.

The govt did say it.   They then contradicted it.  Now they have changed the rules. IMO they have used too much variations in  language when describing  the rules or changes in them and its led to confusion

Here is what has been said last week

It is different to the original guidance. They have removed the original guidance but people have screenshots of it.

Tnx Tc.  I have a 70 year old brotherinLaw and they were definitely told not to go out.  That was relaxed after a few weeks to allow them an hour's walk.

I spent 2 hours looking for Links yesterday  ......... I knew that I hand't dreamt what they were told initially.  You seem quite aggressive Diane200.

I'm just pondering on whether this thread which started out with the words "4 people in Scotland being tested"  could end up being the longest ever on the forum. 🤔 little did we know back then what was to come.

I was thinking the same thing the other day

Look what you started litttleminnie

I did my COVID-19 test today.  I'm not sure if it will be any good though, as I retched when doing the throat swab, so may have gastric juice on it, then I sneezed doing the nasal swabs!

Courier picked it up, so thats that now

It's good that - means that you got far enough down!  How long B4 the results are back?

[Cassie]

Now now girls, play nicely....perhaps its the heat that is making everyone tetchy 

[CLKD]

Anyone know if there have been deaths associated with C-19 in the last 48 hours?  They aren't going to have a daily update any more    probably knew that I wasn't watching any longer ;-)
