Sun went away, the crowds not shown up. Spotted chap i know social distancing with his dogs, but lots of 2 metre infringements at the pinch point - the path does not give 2 metres apart also the pinch point is bottom of slope

And people can't bring themselves to wait for a few seconds...
A720 showing green in both directions at Sherriffhall on Google Maps traffic overlay. Also looks quiet on the Traffic Scotland live traffic cameras.
Update: A720 at Sherriffhall now turning pink westbound.

IWRATS, never fear the villagers are preparing your appointment with the Wicker Man for Midsummer's Day.

All sorts of vitamin C cures abounding. Stuff is excreted after two hours? But my granny never got a cold cause she ate an orange a day in front of us and never even gave us a scliff.

AB and O blood groups could have some protection from the virus.

Been thought for some time those groups could have some protection from viruses in general, mind you I'm O neg and seem to get everything, so I'm dubious. ;)

Can’t see anything there about AB, BaldCyclist. Would find it strange if AB blood type does any better than A given they will have A antigens also (or perhaps more pertinently, they both lack anti-A antibodies).
Chinese population is virtually all Rh+ so there will need to be research into that amongst less homogenous populations.

Preprint paper here:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.11.20031096v2.full.pdf+html
Statistically, A more susceptible and worse outcomes, O less susceptible and better outcomes, B and AB about average on both. IF controls are representative of Wuhan blood type distribution (should be checkable)
May be harder to detect relative effects for AB type as rarest type

So most plausible origin theory is repeated low-level exposure to pangolin viruses then a mutation/adaptation via human-to-human transmission. I'll buy that for a dollar. Makes more sense that conspiracies around bio-warfare, CIA, CCP and 5G.

maybe so, but i for one will continue the midnight clap at the window for all the undervalued ill-informed rumour-mongers

IWRATS - that is one of the maddest things I have ever read.

I'd have thought it was sackable, if she hasn't resigned already.

Perhaps we could wait until this is over before burning the witch?

She maybe had to go and feed her horses or something equally plausible.

I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you

Ok, let's just substitute 'chief medic' in the headline for 'Boris'...

I think she should have paid a local peasant to feed the horses. Instead of driving 44 miles to posh earlsferry. It’s double standards blared one local.
I confess I could not turn at colzium as a van for a firm called Anubis was parked there (think was aiming for the Harperig car park which is closed) so i went on to the gate to nowhere (well the bare skeleton of a barn) the gate has some iron work on it saying Kelly Syke. I always imagine a divorce or some such. Anyway, this added 10 mins to my hour of state sanctioned exercise.
