Why are they stopping crowds at outdoor events in Scotland?
I thought the science consistently said indoors was the risk.

A Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report Prepared by the Influenza Division
I get the feeling, Scotland is the test ground for restrictions. With the rest of the UK to follow. How many times have we seen it. Scotland does sommat, the rest follow soon after.

If he says the unvaccinated are the enemy the people will self police that situation. No official regulations and our government have destroyed hospitality and live events within a couple of weeks. It seems mere suggestion is enough now
I'm not hard anti lockdown if it's absolutely needed. I actually would have seen the logic if they'd have gone into a snap lockdown at the start of the month when Omicron was first detected in the UK. To have done 2-3 weeks to get the booster totally out and keep a lid on it spreading as much as possible.
I agree on the second bit. I don't know who I'll vote for next time. I can't stand Labour or the government.

Already happening isn't it mate - scare tactics and deflection everywhere it seems.
The unvax camps are coming, nice logo on their arms so we can identify them and segregate them away.
Purely anecdotal case but we have close friends whose sister flew in from California on Thursday. She started feeling ill early Friday and by Sunday three members of the family tested positive.Still not confirmed but there are signs that the incubation period for Omicron is less than Delta which will complicate the modeling and testing at the very least.
It certainly might not seem like it given the pandemic mayhem we’ve had, but the original form of SARS-CoV-2 was a bit of a slowpoke. After infiltrating our bodies, the virus would typically brew for about five or six days beforesymptoms kicked in. In the many months since that now-defunct version of the virus emerged, new variants have arrived to speed the timeline up. Estimates for this exposure-to-symptom gap, called the incubation period, clocked in at about five days for Alpha and four days for Delta. Now word has it that the newest kid on the pandemic block, Omicron, may have ratcheted it down to as little as three.
How Long Does Omicron Take to Make You Sick?
The new variant seems to be our quickest one yet. That makes it harder to catch with the tests we have.www.theatlantic.com
If they have the Omicron variant, it would suggest a shorter incubation period
Just seems more evidence that Omicron is acting like a cold in how it spreads too. I may be wrong, but it doesn't usually take long to catch a cold off someone does it? Like you usually start showing symptoms within a day.
Think that’s about right. 24-48 hours for a cold
