Tim of Fife Oct 2020 11:04pm, 31 Oct 2020 2,935 posts	Quote Pin Tim of Fife Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland all have their own strategies. That's right and proper given that health is a devolved matter. To date, they all seem to have done a better job than Boris has for England. Time will tell.

There was speculation a page or 2 back that Sturgeon might follow suit and impose a Scottish lockdown. I’m really hoping it isn’t necessary and the tier system works.

Fragile Do Not Bend Oct 2020 11:39pm, 31 Oct 2020 7,115 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend I’ve just remembered my car’s MOT is due before the end of November. I guess that’s going to be a valid reason to leave home - unless we are going to get an extension again?
Hunkyteddy Nov 2020 12:26am, 1 Nov 2020 328 posts	Quote Pin Hunkyteddy Tim, the stats I have seen dont seem to suggest that there is much difference between any of the nations in terms of cases and deaths. Orkney might be in a low level but so is Cornwall, but that doesn't stop it from going into lockdown.

Frag - unless something comes out in the detail there didn't seem to be as much emphasis on staying at home and the garages should still be open. I expect to be able to get my MOT sorted.
