Power to decide their own covid response was given to them after the initial lockdown.

It's slightly complicated as at outset there was broad agreement, but how the lockdown was implemented and legislated for ended up in public health regulations, which relate to devolved powers.

How things like the furlough scheme are implemented are reserved, so for all 4 nations what is viable to do is to some extent determined by the purse strings in London.

I think technically had lockdown restrictions been implemented by the Civil Contingencies Act it could have left more decision making in London.

Other things like foreign travel are reserved, but who should quarantine is in health legislation therefore is devolved which creates a quirk. So the Scottish Government can't formally advise against international travel - although their First Minister is on record discouraging international travel - but not the power to legislate for it but can legislate for quarantine upon return.

This is distinct from Foreign Office advice against international travel (to some countries, or indeed all countries). In March 2020 when Dominic Raab announced this it has some legal standing, and immediately invalidated many travel insurance policies for trips after and made it clear to British nationals that they may not get the level of consular assistance overseas if required.

I wasn`t allowed to say anything until this point, but it's now okay for me to share that I have volunteered for vaccine trials for Covid-19. It's important that we all do our part to beat this virus.

The vaccine is the one that has been developed in Russia. I received my first dose this morning 08:00 am, and I wanted to let you all know that it’s completely safe, with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι я чувствую себя немного странно и я думаю, что вытащил ослиные уши. чувствую себя немного странно.

Hmmmm, which google translates to

Also, you cannot possible state it is perfectly safe and has no side effects after just 9 hours.

HERE from weeks ago. :rolleyes:

13,000 cases. The circuit breaker looms...

Part of the blame is a data issue that means for the next dew days there will be additional results from tests over the last week or so.

Sad, but I can see why they're doing it.

(Reuters) - Cineworld Group Plc is set to close all its theatre screens in the UK and Ireland, with plans to close its UK sites as soon as the coming week, London’s Sunday Times reported.

The company is writing to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and culture minister Oliver Dowden to say the industry has become “unviable” because of the decision of film studios to postpone big budget films, the newspaper said.

It’s not really relevant.

The figures are going in the wrong direction which means inevitably hospitalisations go up, ICU admissions go up and deaths go up. It’s a question of when, not if.

More likely it means cases are heading towards London ;)

TBH I don't care what lockdowns happen in my area.

As long as we can bury my mum with the 17 people or so can attend, on October 13th.

It would have been more but some have children with health issues.
