Quote:Speaking on the BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Prof Jason Leitch addressed concerns about the apparent variation in advice.

Prof Leitch said over-70s would not be asked to stay at home but rather to reduce their social contact, for example by not going to a pub, bingo or church.

He added: "In fact, quite the opposite, we expect family contact to increase in that group so that those people will be looked after. The last thing that we want is four months of loneliness."

Just wish the stupid panic buyers would understand that, the irony is hilarious isnt it, at the very time limit social grouping is recommended what are thousands of fuck wits doing????? mass gathering whilst panic buying. Outstanding genius at play there.
