m25jet, you mention the silly "Stay Alert" message ! Well you should be up here where nippy knickers "nothing I say or do about Covid-19 is political" when actually everything she says or does is political has FACTS ! yes rather than have three short sharp bullet points like Johnson she has come up with a narrative to remind you what you should be doing.
I could not remember it even if I had it written down in front of me lol.
If only some of the sheep that follow her blindly would see the damage her and her party are doing to Scotland and vote her out.
The reason I said it was silly is because the "Stay Alert" message is silly. Think about it - what are we supposed to be on the alert for? Covid isn't something like a mugger that we can visibly see or physically punch the living daylights out of if it attempts to attack us, so how are we supposed to be on the alert for it? Would you know what Covid looked, felt, smelled, tasted or sounded like if you came across it? Of course not. You wouldn't know until it was too late, and by then you'd have contracted the disease and would have to self-isolate, or worse still, go into hospital, maybe even spending some time in ITU as Boris did when he caught the disease.
Getting back to the subject of the message, it would have been far better if the Government had come up with some more practical advice, such as "Wear your face masks in public - help to slow down the spread of the disease" but they chose not to do that. All we got was a succession of mixed messages, with several Government MPs all contradicting one another, so it's hardly surprising that most people have given up paying attention and are now just doing their own thing instead of taking the correct course of action to halt the spread of the disease. For example, the instances of people flooding the beaches in the hot summer weather during the height of a global pandemic, resulting in it becoming impossible to maintain adequate social distancing, is only going to increase the risk of transmission of the disease.
At the end of the day I'm not an MP, I don't have all the answers, but I do know that we all need to be far more focused on making a collective effort with regards to beating this disease and avoid becoming too complacent, otherwise it's only going to backfire very badly on us sooner or later. None of us can accurately state how soon a cure is going to be made available, or even if a cure will ever become available, so in the meantime we all need to be as careful as possible to make sure that we don't contract it, or spread it to others if we've already caught it.
