Some people with mild cases wont go for testing. They have to get the criteria right or theres really no point. You think so? I appreciate that some structure to testing is a good idea, and I'm not advocating it should be a free for all, but if the UK has 'X' amount of capacity, it should be using it every day. There's a centre literally around the corner from me (Grangemouth) and it's painful seeing how quiet it is. There's two security guards outside who must be bored stiff. My son gets school meals at lunch time so we walk pass the centre about twelvish and the security guards seem to swell to four in number. They're all standing within two feet of each other, never mind two metres. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Do they have a reason for the testing approach, or are they still stonewalling the question?Are they trying to bank loads of capacity, so that when they do decide to go for it, they won't run out?Is that even a thing?It's just so clear that they're getting hammered on this issue and it's been like that for weeks. I'm sure it's not easy to fix but are their systems not working or is this still strategic?As usual in life, probably a bit of both.In terms of press conferences, sturgeon has been so much more open than the London lot. In my opinion she's got a good manner, and explains things well.There will be things she can't say, and we have to accept that, but she's definitely the leader i want at a time like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 If you want a test the last day of April is the day to do it. They’ll be testing anyone they can to get to the 100k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 You think so? - my mrs is a gp and is working at a test centre in her area, they are only testing people who fall within specific criteria. I appreciate that some structure to testing is a good idea, and I'm not advocating it should be a free for all, but if the UK has 'X' amount of capacity, it should be using it every day.- it isnt a free for all but genuinely has to be done in a controlled manner, theres no point testing someone who the guidelines show wouldnt return a positive test, would be a complete waste of money. There's a centre literally around the corner from me (Grangemouth) and it's painful seeing how quiet it is. There's two security guards outside who must be bored stiff. - look at it this way, isnt it a good thing there isnt that kind of demand, these centres are set up to deal with worst case scenario demand if necessary. My son gets school meals at lunch time so we walk pass the centre about twelvish and the security guards seem to swell to four in number. They're all standing within two feet of each other, never mind two metres.- aye thats no ideal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 STV News tonight, first of all stating 537 deaths in care homes in the past week, then after coming back from a report, saying the care home deaths have risen from 237 to 537 in the last week. Not the same thing. Really shoddy reporting. The overall total from the care homes seems to be 537. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 see that story about the couple who took a month to cross the atlantic on their boat, having told all their friends and family not to contact them about any bad news, so they tipped up at their destination and had no idea about the severity of the pandemic; had me wondering what on earth you would do for a month, cooped up with one person in the intimate confines of a yacht - suggestions ? also, fair play to the girl for holding the mainstay or whatever it's called in her teeth whilst driving the thing at the same time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit cheeky for Oor Wullie to be fishing off the edge of their boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think in any survey there are people who just don't have a fucking clue about anything. There's people who don't know who the Prime Minister is.There's plenty who don't know what the Prime Minister's job entails. Johnson is only one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Love how all the news channels report English deaths as ""775 dead today " etc but Scottish deaths are reported as "975 now dead in Scotland ". Is this to try and make it sound as bad up here when we're basically nowhere the level of shit down South. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 FWIW, there is no cover up. Deaths in hospital are registered quickly and the capacity is on hand to test for Covid. Deaths outside hospitals can take a week to file the paper work and there is no capacity, at the moment, to test all dead. So total deaths lags the Covid hospital deaths by about 2 weeks. This has been discussed before that several people have raised the probability of a rise in non Covid deaths out of hospital due to people failing to go to hospital. Many heart specialists around the world are saying they are seeing a lot less non Covid cases than usual (as an example). Anyone trying to insinuate conspiracies without good evidence and a clear understanding of how the ONS data works are best dismissed. There is a lot of speculation being passed off as fact. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Something about this health crisis which has me concerned: this topic has reached page 1256 in exactly 3 months. Is it possible, given a bit more time, that it will surpass the Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread at 10203 pages before Sevco go into administration? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
