So the new Covid update in Scotland has been fairly shambolic. Looking at some of the discussions around it, it really shows how out of touch politicians are.
Swinney on the radio this morning seems to be saying the days of standing at a bar having a drink are a thing of the past, despite the claim that bars can now to back to full capacity. Now this may be okay in a bistro somewhere or particular kind of bar but there's a huge number of pubs and bars where it's the norm for the few tables to be full with the majority of people standing to drink
From the BBC report:
There's also been an oingoing discussion about what it means for nighclubs who are now being allowed to reopen. Apparently you need to wear a mask to 'stand up to have a dance'. Not sure the last time any of them have been in a club
Also, there are no restricitions on outdoor sport. But....any crowds above 5000 will need the approval of the local authority. Why?
