Two questions 1) do you know anything about this couples personal reasons for wearing a mask?Are they CEV?Do they sensibly just not want to be infected by a potentially deadly/debilitating disease? 2) GDPR - did you get their permission to post this picture on social media?🧐🤦🏻♂️
Well done
@NicolaSturgeon
for getting your point across today about the importance of being able to look down this camera lens and explain things to people. Well said and a message the BBC needs to listen to. Our public health in Scotland should not suffer.

should be in charge of the public health response to covid. Schools need ventilation, covid is airborne, JCVI need to stop dithering 👏👏👏👏👏
Pubs being open from 6am or providing Grandparents around Scotland with Hugs from their Grandchildren for the first time in 100 odd days. I know who has their proiorities the right way round.
@NicolaSturgeon
no cash to be made from this
@BorisJohnson
Thank you
@NicolaSturgeon
@jasonleitch
et al for all your hard work to keep us safe...and for giving us hug day! There wasn’t a dry eye in the garden! Thinking of all those who weren’t able to enjoy precious moments like these today and those who are still shielding ❤️
My wife’s friend who is a nursery manager just text her to say they had a child’s mum on the phone saying the dad is positive but could she still bring the child to nursery. And so it begins 🤦🏻♂️
@NicolaSturgeon
why are you putting teachers and our kids in this position?
So I’ve just heard there is currently 50 flights from India landing in England each day
@NicolaSturgeon
- 4 confirmed cases of b.1.617 in 🏴 - surely travel to and from Scotland on the 26th has to be reconsidered? We don’t have to accept this.

Douglas Ross must make his position on

and therefore is a massive HYPOCRITE.
@murdo_fraser
your priorities are extremely skewed. The fact you think a community rising up to protect its neighbours/friends/colleagues against despicable dawn raids by
@GOVUK
to be comparable with drunken football celebrations shows how questionable your character and morals are 🧐🤔🤷🏽
I'm sorry but see people on the news who are complaining about potentially having to pay for a Covid test on returning to Scotland - YOU SHOULD NOT BE TRAVELLING IN THE FIRST PLACE - people are so fucking selfish.
@danielgoyal
Doesn’t bode well when apparently there is no plans for further boosters and governments in the west seem to be waving the white flag 🏳 to covid because it’s too hard,they are bored& short-termism & self preservation reins supreme over investment to deal with an airborne virus🤦🏻♂️

Since their reopening last week, 50 schools in France have been forced to close again after cases, or suspected cases of covid 19 have been found.
UK. It's too soon. You didn't learn from Italy, try learning from France.
Where is the outcry? Where are the calls for Boris Johnson to resign for misleading Parliament practically every week since he became Prime Minister? The silence is deafening
@Dr2NisreenAlwan
Why isn't everyone wearing FFP2/KN95 Masks? The sad truth is it's political. The politicians won't recommend it as it will make the PPE healthcare workers have look inadequate - that's the sad truth. I work in B&Q and wear KN95 my wife is a nurse - I'm better protected 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Charge patients for Hospital stays? - says Christine Hamilton - fuck offfffffffffff!!!!
@GMB
try funding the NHS properly - incentivising Doctors and Nurses training and a pay rise. Time for Scotland 🏴 to leave these Tories behind.

This is bollocks 🧐🤔I work in retail,a massive B&Q store,sure we’ve got staff off isolating,we still get stock delivered&put stock on the shelves. Only gaps we have are heavy building supplies due to BREXIT. Are you telling me Tesco etc can’t put the food on the shelves?
This narrative of empty shelves being COVID related &the “pingdemic” is really pissing me off today. Food shortages are down to BREXIT. I work at B&Q & can tell you the only shortages we have are heavy building supplies due to BREXIT. Just tell the truth

@WeeLassDi
You are wrong - we want to be a normal independent country where we get the government we vote for every time.We’ve rejected the tories since 1955 but still get them,dragged out the EU against our will,constantly having to try minimise detrimental impact of Tory policy.Time to go
@Jackson_Carlaw
@Jackson_Carlaw
you should be ashamed of yourself. At daily briefs
@NicolaSturgeon
repeatedly makes the point of them being "Covid briefings" it's the gotcha press such as the times/telegraph/express that try to make things political. Have a word with them eh.
@devisridhar
As an essential retail worker who has been working throughout my experience over the past couple of weeks is that people are following social distancing less, uptake of masks is poor and people are over eager to get back to normal. We NEED strict mandatory mask rules ASAP
#ScotlandinEU

Together we will become a normal independent country again. For a brighter future for our children, for a better tomorrow for ourselves, to shrink inequalities and embrace and welcome new Scots from other countries 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

@STVNews
That's a joke. Rangers and Stephen Gerrard were aware of what was inevitably going to happen if they won the league. They should have been reiterating a stay at home message to fans in the run up to the weekend. It comes down to conscience, rangers have showed they don't care🤷♂️🧐

The BBC should be utterly ashamed of themselves taking off the coronavirus public healthcare briefing.This shows a blatant lack of respect for the Scottish people&there is no question it is politically motivated. You are putting vulnerable people at risk.

dropping the coronavirus briefings a key healthcare message when cases are surging leaving many vulnerable older people like the lady below with no way to watch. You should be ashamed. Hope you are happy Tim Davie &

been following the developments closely-still can't believe we aren't investing more in ventilation - reccomending higher grade masks,reintroducing isolation of household contacts and expanding mask wearing in schools.Yes vaccinate as fast as we can but we need more

This is hypocrisy at its very worst. As I’ve stated previously you are using Scottish children as political pawns.
@Douglas4Moray

@danielgoyal
So Dan with monkey pox, close contacts of confirmed case have to isolate for 3weeks, how long until this is deemed as too inconvenient? The truth is Media/Politics and big business have fucked up our pandemic response, they will do the same with future pandemics & climate change

I agree Douglas too much waste sending that tax money to Westminster and only getting a fraction back. I'm so glad to see you are coming round to independence. Look forward to you standing up to Boris on this one 🙄

This is what
@Douglas4Moray
really thinks about meals for kids at school. Voted against it in His Westminster day job👇

introducing free school meals in Scotland. Don’t believe this man and his lies
@Douglas4Moray
SNP Introduced FREE SCHOOL MEALS IN🏴
Tory & Labour Voted AGAINST
YOU Voted to DEPRIVE
ONE MILLION children in England of a FREE hot meal😡
If you’ve seen for yourself difference providing free meals can make
WHY would you do that🤔
Because
YOU’RE A HEARTLESS HYPOCRITICAL LIAR🤥

Morning Devi - Im confused about the reasoning behind household close contacts of Covid cases (double jagged/under18) being allowed to to go back to school/work after a -PCR when their is continuing contact and around a 64% increase in odds of household transmission with delta
We know double vaccinated people can catch and transmit Covid. Delta has around a 64% increase in odds of household transmission. Why are we allowing double jagged and kids under 18 to dodge isolation& return to school/work

So
@Douglas4Moray
let me get this straight. You would prefer around 40million to be taken away from other uses in Scotland for 18-24 months in the middle of a pandemic just to prove a political point rather than have Westminster wave the tax? Are you mad? 🤔🧐🏴

will provide another half measure on quarantine hotels. - a mix of limited group of countries, only U.K. nationals, some PCR 5 day early release, only 10 instead of 14 days 🧐
