Continuing the chorus of good news in U.K, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced yesterday that all the new Covid restrictions imposed for the Omicron wave will be lifted starting NEXT MONDAY. Now under Narrative 1.0, once imposed, Covid restrictions could never be removed so quickly, after all that wouldn’t be “following the science,” but we’re now living in N 2.0, where everything and anything is possible, dare I say it, even the truth! Not sure about you, but I’m liking this N 2.0 so far!

Bad news is now banished, and all the news is good! According to MSN News, the First Minister said she was “confident we have turned a corner on the Omicron wave” in Scotland. Confident! Not worried, not anymore. “We are now on the downward slope of cases,” she happily informed the Scottish parliament.

Now one thing though that hasn’t changed under N 2.0, is whom we must thank for the saving of mankind, that’s right you guessed it, your benevolent government officials, and leaders. How do I know, well Minister Sturgeon told me so! And … we have the government to thank for this delightful turn of events: “A combination of booster vaccinations, the willingness of the public to adapt their behaviour to help stem transmission, and the temporary protective measures introduced in December, have helped blunt the impact of the Omicron wave,” Sturgeon explained cheerfully.

Yes, thanks goodness for these lifesaving mandates, why without them we might have all wound up looking like Florida!
