...That's Spain aff yer Covid-19 safe list.
Two week quarantine for UK arrivals.
The reintroduction of quarantine for travellers to Scotland from Spain will cause disappointment but is necessary, the justice secretary has said.
Scotland lifted the 14-day rule last week , but brought it back on Saturday along with the rest of the UK due to a rise in coronavirus cases in Spain.
Humza Yousaf said the decision had been taken to reduce the risk of the spread of the virus.
More than 900 new cases of the virus were reported in Spain on Friday.
Spanish officials have also warned a second wave could be imminent as major cities have seen cases surge.
Well...

It really is basic stuff. Are you at risk through underlying medical issues? If yes - then conduct a self-assessment. Are you fitting the criteria of those who are more at risk than others? Again - conduct a self-assessment.
Bloody 'Nanny State' personified.

Covid (in the main) isn't a killer - stupidity is.

Massive rises across the globe. Almost 40 countries reported their highest daily number of new cases yesterday.
See all this stuff about how lockdown will cause more deaths than the disease...its a load of nonsense.
Truth is, we've never had a lockdown. Just a temporary restriction of movement.
Its time that the world's leading economies sat down and let some serious people work out a way through this. Its a global problem and needs a global solution.

The thing is there’s global rises because they’re now testing anyone and everyone and at a much wider scale.
E.G UK as an example, our peak looked like we had 6,000-7,000 max cases in a single day however these were all hospital cases as we were testing hospital only. Now we are getting 700-800 cases a day and 95% of them are non-hospital and the majority in hotspots where they’re testing people even without symptoms.
So if we was testing the same amount in March April it wouldn’t of been 6,000-7,000 a day it would of been 100,000 realistically

Spain’s been getting double our numbers for the past week despite having had mandatory muzzles even in public and 20 million less people. Pretty much just shows it’s not going away any time soon. I’d estimate 25% of populations have had it, we just delayed the inevitable with lockdowns etc and it’s still going to burn through regardless but hopefully now a lot more is known about it treatment wise etc and the NHS not being over burdened we can save a lot more lives
If anything it’s probably a positive for most to get it now as opposed to the winter

Inane and stupid. That sums up our erratic response to Spain.
The amount of testing being undertaken now bears absolutely zero relevance to what was happening during the “peak”.
It’s nothing more than a government “show of strength”. That’ll be another 5-10,000 jobs gone as a result of this.
And sorry but yes; the cost in lost lives because of the lockdown as opposed to the virus continues to rocket while we flip flop around.
As has been said many times; use some fwcking common sense.
