Lets hope Boris does this for UK too.....
While we hope that scientific advances, such as treatments and a vaccine, will
provide solutions in the longer term, in the more immediate future we will need to
learn to live with this virus, possibly for some time to come. Our challenge therefore
is to work out if and how we can continue to suppress it and minimise its harms,
while restoring some semblance of normality to our everyday lives. We will always
take a careful approach that seeks to protect life and reduce harm.
These decisions will not be easy. The challenge and necessary change that lie
ahead of us will require us to adapt how we live our lives. That will require a
concerted effort from all parts of Scottish society. Individual and collective
responsibility will be needed to keep our country safe and we will need to draw on
the collective ingenuity, innovation, creativity and perseverance that Scotland’s
people have at their core.

COVID-19 causes harm in at least four ways.
1. First, the virus causes direct and tragic harm to people’s health. We have seen this in these first phases of the pandemic in Scotland in the daily growth in number of new cases; number of new hospitalisations; number of people requiring treatment in Intensive Care Units; and, sadly, the number of deaths related to the virus. 2. Second, the virus has a wider impact on our health and social care services in Scotland; how our people are using those services; and how this impacts on non- COVID health harms. We have mobilised our health and social care services to an unprecedented degree to respond to COVID-19. That has meant the postponement of other types of care and treatment. Despite the NHS remaining open for those who need it, we have seen significant reductions in people seeking help. This will impact on those most at risk. The health impacts brought about by greater inequalities may themselves be significant over years to come. We must adapt to ensure that our health and social care services can resume this wider care as soon as possible, and this forms part of our planning for the period ahead. 3. Third, the restrictions which Scotland, together with the other UK nations, has necessarily put in place to slow the spread of the virus can in turn cause harm to our broader way of living and society, including, for example, the negative effects of increased isolation, particularly for those living alone, and the impact on children’s well-being from closing schools. 4. Fourth, along with the wider negative impacts of the global pandemic, the lockdown has had an enormous impact on our economy, with a potential fall of 33% in GDP during the period of lockdown. This is unprecedented and is causing deep uncertainty and hardship for many businesses, individuals and households. The damaging effect on poverty and inequality may be profound. |

No surprise here. Scotland has enjoyed a very stable and successful government at Holyrood since 2007 and are led by the best politician in the UK. Nicola Sturgeon is simply different class. They are always one or two steps in front of Westminster.

While it is obvious that government cannot guarantee that no-one will become infected with this virus in future, we are clear that an assumption that there is a proportion or section of the population that it is safe or acceptable to allow to be infected forms no part of the Scottish Government's policy or approach.

Pity you weren't so vociferous in getting the economy closed down sooner,the packed tubes,supermarkets planes is a direct result of the situation at the present time. |

Quite how Scotland can have different rules ,interpretations form England ,when the border is a sign saying Welcome To Scotland / Welcome To England I have no idea.
The difference is Nicola Sturgeon is the boss in Scotland. Our boss is unwell and the minions are either to scared or ordered to waffle every 5PM instead of giving us the the true future plans. Not many of us Jocks would trade Sturgeon for the drunken stupid lying clown known as Bojo... Mr Johnson was only politician who had the courage and fight to get Brexit through as the people democratically voted for .....what did your leader and others do ? |

And don't claim Scotland voted to remain.
You voted to remain in the UK after moaning for ever , you choose not to stand on your own two feet but be a minority partner in the UK. |

Not one piece of scientific evidence in it. All based on conjecture. Complete garbage. |
