But if we dont get rid of restrictions, would those happen?

Yeah there's a certain catch-22 to it. But it'll all factor in to how much people start participating once we open up.

Yeah he's been complaining about scenes of people celebrating.  Seems to love the sound of his own voice a bit

100% he does. His very loud voice!

Yeah if we can continue the Premier league with our issues over winter (I was convinced it'd be delayed a month during January lockdown) they can deliver an Olympics with no spectators.

I'm sure IOC will very happily do that, all that lovely tv money...but for Japan they lose out on all the revenue they'd get from supporters spending money plus have a higher risk of infected people coming in and spreading whatever variant. Still think they could have delayed till 2024, then delayed Paris after that, and whoever has it after that..it's a once in a lifetime crisis, can't believe they can't find a way round all the contracts and whatever .

Travel rules changes confirmed. One PCR test on day 2 needed. No isolation from Amber countries for double jabbed.

Yes it is! More of that and less extremism would be good.

This travel news affects me, as my bro is wanting to come over from US with his family for a family get together for my Mum's birthday at the end of this month postponed from the winter...not sure what rules are for people from UK entering US though.

Absolutely fucking moronic. If you want people to use their judgement, at least give them the means to do so.

Anyway, you’re allowed to order one pack a day online. Suspect I’ll be doing that for the next week or so to stockpile for this wave.

Cases down by a big chunk on last week in Scotland and positivity rate dropping too!

Will certainly be helping. Plus our schools finished up 2 weeks ago.

Also, England hopefully through the worse of the growth...

I imagine it has an impact. Also schools ended here end of June which also helps plus less testing for kids I guess.

Also, cases were dead high I wasn't sure how much further they could have gone up (hope I am not tempting fate here..)

At the Downing Street lobby briefing the prime minister’s spokesperson confirmed that the exemption to quarantine for holidaymakers returning from amber list nations will only apply to those who have been vaccinated by the NHS. He said:

It does need to be a vaccine administered through the NHS rollout so you would need to have received your vaccine through the NHS rather than in a different country.

So don't panic and crack on with reopening?

 

[Hannibal Schmitt]

So no spectators at the Olympics. This will be pretty bleak then.

If Scotland continues like that for a few more days then my optimism will continue to grow. Time will tell! Defo seems to be going down for now though...

That’s a shame given all the time and money spent preparing for it - but it’s obviously the correct decision. They should be given the chance to host it again at the next opportunity, although that looks like it will be 2036!
