"I find your use of certain extreme words such as "shambolic" to be a wee bit "over the top" TBF and the generality of the Scot govt being dishonest and transparent is a tad inaccurate in the overall scheme of things even though, as I have previously iterated, they are not perfect and mistakes will inevitably happen on occasions. Btw you keep insinuating that nothing was done when, in fact, lotsa activity was happening in the background to move things on and lets not forget the element of risk in this particular case - fairly low esp with the actual process being applied anyway plus few travellers for obvious reasons and those travellers made aware of the quarantine rules required by the Scot govt plus the caution attached to their movements and monitoring of their health conditions plus adherence to social distancing etc."

0762 - if you are saying that I accused the Scottish Government of being dishonest, then you are being extremely inaccurate. Read my posts again and see that I was giving my opinion on one particular part of the regulations, not my general view on the overall situation. Also, nothing was done to record the necessary information so that checks could be made. The perceived low risk is relatively unimportant when you consider that it takes only one person to start a new transmission. It's a public health emergency, so let's treat it like one.

Contrast that inaction with the staff at one of the English pubs, when they telephoned customers who might have had contact with an infected person - probably because they couldn't trust the UK Government to do it. Plaudits to the staff for treating this case as a public health emergency and acted swiftly.
