It's literally the only thing that's going to keep us in the Premiership. I'm all for it tbh.

Personally I think the team's been quite successful in isolating themselves.

My sister was saying that it's like Armageddon in the supermarkets down the road. She hasn't been able to get toilet roll and has had to order it from Amazon.

Up here, there was no pasta in Tesco yesterday and they were running low on rice.  The toilet rolls were  finished too and forget about buying soap.

I was in the Coop after work today and managed to pick up a packet of pasta.  As I was walking round the supermarket a guy was bringing out a big crate of toilet paper.  You want to have seen the vultures descend.

It has really brought out the selfish side of some folks' nature.

Ok guys staying in with a case of corona.





























Going to stay in and drink the lot. Then maybe go out and buy more.

Absolute clowns. The Natgional figure is 60 and only 11 in Lothian. What are the chances of me or anyone I know coming into contact with anyone who knows, or been in contact with those 11 people?
5.43 million people in Scotland and 60 confirmed cases! I could run around every town and city licking door handles for a week and still not get it.
Went into my local MP's office today to get papers signed and the first thing he said was why are you out of the house in your condition!!!
Like I am going to die of the black death if I stick my nose out the door.

 

I think it's really important to be measured about the situation, however, I don't really agree with much of your logic Jim.

The number of cases in Scotland is now 121 and we're nowhere near the peak.

There will be thousands of people in Scotland who have Covid 19 and aren't aware of it, hence it will be spread much easier than you seem to think. That coupled with how easily it is transmitted, inevitably means that a lot more people than you think will become infected.

That's true HC however there are 10,000 deaths a year with the flu! Why were we allowed to carry on as normal without shutting down the country then? I would turn up for work ( remember I was an ambulance driver ) with flu and they wouldn't send me home and forced me to work with ill people. yet here we are closing down football and banning crowds of more than 500. Yes people will get it, however what are they not telling us? Why is this perceived to be more deadly than the common flu?
If this really is a very bad disease then come out and say so. If however people will get it and maybe not even know then why the panic?
Now thinking of getting people over 70 to stay in doors for four months, FFS!  How the feck are they meant to get shopping or even go for a walk!!
This is a man made virus ( I suspect they already have a vaccine ) and someone somewhere is making a mint. Can't quite work out where the money is being made ( other than the pharmaceutical companies )  but there is a far bigger picture than they are letting on.

Ps where you live what are the chances of even getting it? ANY confirmed cases in the islands yet?
