The Scottish Chief Medical Officer’s Covid-19 Note giving the evidence for the new restrictions makes indicates new infections in Scotland could reach over 35k per day “without further intervention”.

The lower rate in the band is 25,000 cases per day - in Scotland - how do these clowns get a salaried position? They should be sectioned.
That is though the magical scary power of exponential growth. The old fable of the inventor of chess being rewarded by the king of the day with anything he wanted. And all he asked for was one grain of rice on the first square of his chessboard, two on the second, four on the third until all 64 squares were filled. Which the king immediately agreed too, thinking it a cheap deal. The thing is though once you're into the second half of the chessboard things go bonkers. There are over 18 quintillion grains of rice on a chessboard, whatever the heck that number is. Thats doubling the number one 63 times
