Relaxing of restrictions

This is happening in England too. The Lake District had signs up that it was closed and other beauty spots.

If people are allowed to move around freely there will be a lot more deaths. It is about that not borders.

Border demarcation? Yeah, why not? It went down a storm in East/West Germany. That ended well.

Bit of common sense needed. If you have to cross borders to work or for any other reason than leisure trips then of course it is reasonable to do so.

Surely it is not too hard to abide by a country's laws. They are made for a reason, to get the transmission of the virus down.

I do not know Sussexborn I am not party to the ins and outs of the Medical profession, I just thoroughly read the in depth government and news posts, no red tops here.
I assume they would be held in the Hospital closest to the death.

Or to go food shopping or to the doctor's in your own country but the only way is to travel through another one to get there.

It is difficult, of course if you have to cross borders to get across your garden or out of your front gate.

Perhaps they should set up road blocks all along the borders and man them with machine guns. I bet some would just see it as a challenge.

When are the autopsies being performed Felice? Are they not having funerals yet?

Think how much the woman could have bought in Primark for 250€. Almost the whole shop!

Hope those who did unnecessary border hopping haven't brought more virus back with them. It does work both ways.

The message here as I see it is to only drive locally and driving over the border not allowed.

AGAA4 but some in Wales thought it was OK to go over to England, walk around in a crowded resort then presumably come home again to Wales, although perhaps not to a welcome in the hillsides or vales. Then boast about it on TV.

Some do have to cross borders to work, of course, but that is essential.

For the first time since lockdown, I've met up with my best pal and enjoyed a 2 hour walk (suitably distanced) and have plans to meet up with another pal tomorrow to do the same. Walking with a friend is so much nicer than walking alone.

It is Chewbacca isn't it. I met up with my daughter and did a 2 hour walk (socially distanced) which was just brilliant"

It may well be ‘the bleeding obvious’ to you mcem but some Scottish GNers ( Paddyanne for one) seems to think that
The Great Scottish Lockdown will go on for a month more, or longer.It won’t....and have just read this evening that restrictions will be lifted for various things soon for you, from the 28th (ten days away.)

Your post @ 20.41 was unnecessarily rude and unpleasant sooziewuzie; no need for that kind of response on what was, until you posted, a good and civil discussion.

So long as we have people still dying and the fact that nobody's got a clue about this virus I won't be relaxing, no fear.

Nicola Sturgeon has been very canny about all this, all the while covering up a Covid outbreak at a Nike conference in Edinburgh in February.

Another light hearted thread turned into a nasty political squabble.

Hi, this post was fine. We're only deleting because it reiterates some bits from the one above that needed to be deleted. Apologies for the interruption in the discussion folks.

Actually I think Nicola Sturgeon is playing politics (not that I blame her it’s what she’s FM for!). She attends the COBRA meetings and has been given the exact same medical advice as England but she chooses to ignore it just to spite Westminster and ostracise Scotland from the rest of the U.K.

Her only end goal is Independence and she's exploiting this pandemic to push her agenda further and cause more divide.

Thanks maddyone it is! We’ve just been out for our ‘allotted time’ walk. People are sat out on bar terraces - it’s so hot tonight - showing 27°C on the farmacia as we walked past!

Today in Spain family groups can get together of up to 10 people. This afternoon I looked out from the landing at our front door. As we are on the 6th floor I can see into the gardens opposite (Spanish residences are super private - high walls and gates - you can’t see a thing walking past) and I was envious of two family groups in their gardens - grandparents welcoming adult children and small grandchildren no sitand share a meal in the shade under their lemon trees. When the grandmother picked up her small granddaughter and covered her in kisses I was so jealous!

Well done lemon - a real declaration of the bleeding obvious!
It isn't a race and we feel confident that NS's sensible rate is clearer and more reassuring than BJ's (driven by pressure from his billionaire buddies and his ulterior motives).

What’s that mean then jabber ?

Wales and NI are still in lockdown too. I am so glad we haven't gone with the Stay Alert message in England.

My late MIL used to say, 'For better for worse, but not for Lunch '! Over the years, all 56 of them I have had to admit that she was almost certainly right!!

Enjoy your new freedom to walk *Urmstongran. *It must be bliss after such a long time indoors.
