Humza Yousaf's deputy has refused to rule out a return to mask mandates
and lockdowns as a new strain of Covid spreads. Shona Robison said the
Scottish Government would "take advice" from scientists moving forward.

The new variant, nicknamed Pirola, is highly mutated and is believed to
be behind a spike in cases. While data is not available in terms of
positive tests, Scotland still monitors sewage for evidence of the virus
with health experts saying it is on the rise.

Pirola is understood to be better to bypassing immunity, either from
vaccines or previous infections. The deputy first minister, who said the
chief medical officer has briefed the Scottish cabinet on the situation,
was asked by Martin Geissler on BBC Scotland's Sunday Show if she could
"see a scenario" where the likes of face mask mandates, social
distancing and lockdowns would return.

She responded: "We would take advice clearly and work very closely with
UK partners around any change to the advice." Ms Robison added: "So the
advice at the moment is, of course to make sure that you get vaccinated
if you're eligible, and of course to take those precautions...hand
washing, obviously really, really important and you make a very
important point about the impact on on hospital capacity, so people who
become ill and then are required to be admitted to hospital, that puts
additional pressure on the system."

The country was infamously put into lockdown in March 2020 when Covid
first started to spread widely in the UK. Ministers at Westminster and
Holyrood banned people from leaving their homes except under certain
circumstances while they were told they could not visit loved ones.


Later that year, a mandate to wear masks in certain settings was
introduced. The Scottish Government clung to the mask mandate for longer
than the rest of the UK and faced criticism for trying to make emergency
Covid measures permanent.

We previously told how winter vaccination programmes were being brought
forward by governments in a bid to lessen the impact of the new strain.
Also speaking to the Sunday Show, Professor Roland Kao of the University
of Edinburgh said there was no evidence to suggest Pirola was more
severe than previous infections and "every single time we've had a new
variant, past immunity, either through vaccination or past exposure, has
at the very least reduced the chance of severe infection".


However, he warned Covid was not yet 'just like flu' which would appear
regularly at certain times of year. He added: "This new variant coming
through...it's coming in a very odd time of year compared to say, the
way flu would do.

"The fact that we've got this rise now again tells us that something is
going on that hasn't happened before. So we need to wait at least a
couple of more years before that settling down is likely to occur."

In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use
Apostle Paul's secret (http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ). Though masking
is less protective, it helps us avoid the appearance of doing the evil
of spreading airborne pathogens while there are people getting sick
because of not being 100% protected. It is written that we're to
"abstain from **all** appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22
w/**emphasis**).

Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the UK & elsewhere is by
rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding out at any given
moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
http://WDJW.great-site.net/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12) for them to
call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of
stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the best while
preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations
and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu &
Delta lineage mutations combining via slip-RNA-replication to form
hybrids like http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current
COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest
) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

So how are you ?









...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,

Be hungrier, which really is wonderfully healthier especially for
