Truth, we can take it
Be honest with people.
Boris stood up in March and told us the truth, were going to catch this virus and some people are going to die.
Wasnt nice to hear but it was the truth.
We cannot let the country grind to a halt.
We have spare capacity in hospitals and you have built a new hospital in Glasgow to take the extra pressure.
People at high risk should be supported at home, with family bubbles allowed to support and visit them.
The rest of us should be allowed to return to as close as normal as possible.
Yes we should:
Work from home where possible.
Social Distance where possible (where no possible masks and increased hand washing)
Increased testing, including antibody testing.....still not been told why this hasn't been tapped up.

I think given the scandal that has went on down at Westminster Scotland is right to take its own approach if it means saving lives.
Historically when there has been a pandemic the second wave take far more lives. When lifting the lockdown restrictions this needs to be considered.
We are not ready to “return to close to normal as possible” when the death rates are still high and the R number is not low enough
The fact there was over 600 deaths yesterday in England and talks are taking place about bubble, that is a disgrace at this point

Those who advocate the herd immunity slaughter of the elderly and vulnerable, have slowed the testing and tracing, and are now nudging through the media, the idea that "everyone " has had enough and wants to "just let it rip".
These people seem certain that Covid-19 will not change or be replaced, to be more deadly to the young and fit, and that the measures required to be imagined and implemented now, will never be needed again.
There is little choice but to hunker down and learn what it takes to control any pandemic in the future.

Let's not forget that part of the strategy is to stop the NHS being overwhelmed not to stop people getting the virus. And keep in mind that for most people the evidence is that the illness is not life-threatening

This would allow vulnerable older people to not only stay safe but allow younger people to access jobs and hope and help rebuild the economy. Better by far to allow safe growth than no growth .... the young people are all of our future ... the older need protected. Allow the old people to retire and give the young a chance.
