3 phases:
Winter: ensure NHS doesn’t collapse. Strong restrictions on mixing.

Spring: Suppress to low levels & get robust mass testing & supported isolation in place.

Summer: Eliminate & protect low
prevalence with border measures.

We cannot have this winter repeat again.

As more variants & strains emerge globally (& some may evade current vaccines), we have to give this virus little breathing space by crushing it. Living with the virus means living with restrictions & death. And I am done with lockdown. We must stop these destructive cycles.

Scotland is in a dangerous position now and situation could easily spiral out of control with the new variant. We all need to be extra cautious. Stay home & within your household, limit your contacts, avoid all indoor meetings, avoid public transport, get outside for exercise.
