| Comment | It's not a precautionary measure, cases are rising rapidly in Glasgow. It's a reactionary measure to something that is already happening.
Whether the rules used to reduce that growth are the right ones is a different debate, but fundamentally we have to keep the rate of caseload growth stable or negative. For it to be Draconian would have to mean unjustified or excessive, but the fundamental is that the caseload is increasing so that inherently is a justification for measures having to be taken.
I'm not sure why you think either of our governments would want to be excessive about this - they certainly don't benefit in any way, either politically or economically. |
