If they ease the restrictions slightly, people may get a bit overexcited so I’m guessing they want to avoid a weekend boom so have scheduled the announcement for Sunday evening to mitigate the chances of lots of people heading out in large numbers over the weekend.

Tomorrow is three weeks from the last review so it should have been then - the last review was supposed to have been three weeks from Monday 23rd but was three days later on the Thursday so I suppose it's no different.

Apparently while we'll get some kind of vague announcement tomorrow Sunday is the day for the actual 'roadmap', which to speakers of English rather than stupid twattish jargon means the detailed contingency plan for the next few weeks. Or so it stands at the moment :).

Scotland have just announced a further 3 weeks lockdown, this will be getting on for 10 weeks all in and I expect Wales & England & NI will follow suit. Bored now.

I've just scrolled through BBC News and BBC News Scotland looking for the further 3 week lockdown for Scotland, I can see lots of other discussion but nothing about a specific 3 weeks extra?

To be honest I have had a suspicion that the aim is 12 weeks of lockdown, remember they asked the highest risk groups to prepare for this, well I think they want it for us all. Plus the magic 12 weeks for the self-employed scheme, I am not a conspiracy theorist but I am starting to think and feel a bit pawnish. Twelve weeks is a long time.

They've changed it, I thought I was going mad then! It's on page 2 of the Live news on the BBC news site, 12.53pm now states

'Scotland lockdown plans due on Thursday
James Shaw

BBC Scotland reporter

Earlier we reported lockdown in Scotland would continue for at least another three weeks.

But First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said a decision on that will in fact be announced on Thursday.'

Thanks I looked everywhere and I am ashamed to say CV-19 got me again, I am a facts and try to be fact based person.

BUT

As soon as I thought another 3 weeks (I'm not in scotland), my first reaction was physical - I was on verge of tears, heart, stomach went.

I am very ashamed of that, yet know it's part of the effect of the situation. By the way I was brought up not to cry so if I cry things are very strong.

Just fed up of it.

It's such a long time, and a long time for everyone.

I need to think through it rather than at an announcement time in order to manage it, so I just keep going rather than cling on to something which is totally out of my control.

Next!

Ah shit I'm sorry, I'm about the facts too and generally find BBC ok, not often something changes so I was too fast to quote.

It is getting tedious now, I agree with a lockdown but it's time to give us some hope.

It wasn't/isn't your fault it's the entire situation.

Lost is too mild a word at the moment to describe this horrible situation x I know I've already mentioned it but having our decisions made for us and our choices taken away from us is just too depressing, I am hating this I really am, I didn't realise how much I would miss packing up my little case and clearing off for a few days to work  >:(.

Despite this increase, the Government is to drop its "Stay Home" message this weekend after Public Health England told councils to prepare to remove the slogan from websites this weekend.
Quote from the Guardian but not sure it applies to 'our' banners lol

Ditto. I’ve cried pretty much every day for the last 3 weeks. I’m losing my shit and i feel like a bad mother not being able to entertain from 7am til 8pm every day. It’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have no motivation to do cam or create any content, i never knew how much my happiness relied on my regular routine!
We will all get there though, eventually.

Edit - having said that though, I’m not in a rush to return to taking bookings and am thinking I won’t be back for a while, I’m just too nervous about potentially catching and passing on to my child.
