"Last night 19/12/2020 The Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced from Boxing Day that all main land Scotland will go into full lockdown for 3 weeks.
I felt anxiety rise.
After a long sleep, It came to me, Nicola and local coincils knew this would happen in advance. Thats why families on low incomes received the extra £100 and value of free school lunches that calculated out works out until 18th Jan.
I am grateful for the extra but if it was paid in my account last week, why wait until now to announce the lockdown?
