Also as others have said dealing in clusters and outbreaks isn't useful either I think it is an incredibly desperate reach to suggest the picture in Scotland would be drastically different, however I will conceed that there is nothing to demonstrate this either way. It's difficult to determine how many children were absent due to the nature of the scales there, but given that is from a single day, and every 1 child absent, if they were infectious, would likely spread it to their family, who'd then take it to work etc i'm not sure that is quite the slam dunk you think it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Good old Boris. Always wanted to be PM. Always wanted to have been PM. Just the bit in the middle he's not so keen on. Honestly he's an absolute psychopath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've consistently said that there are a complex set of reasons why infections have risen. Find me a post where I have explicitly said that schools are not a factor - you won't. The post originally implied it is schools being off that has slowed infections - I just pointed out that for Dundee that just might not be the case as infections started to rise here towards the end of the 16 day holiday - as I said - I really don't know what has driven it up here. And to prove the point - look who red dotted. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) It's pure Cummings to try and bury this during the probable chaos of the US election results on Wednesday. Sturgeon and Drakeford both now need to be seriously considering stopping all but essential travel to and from England.

Ralstonite Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I know I'll get shot down in flames for this, but does anyone else question the official narrative? I know only three people who have tested positive for Covid, and they're obviously the ones who've experienced symptoms. Most people I speak to say the same. I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but I haven't bothered with this thread much and it's currently 3,030 pages long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've some sympathy with this view but in all honesty the UK public and to an extent media view the US elections as a sideshow compared to UK COVID. If that's a Tory strategy it won't work. They'd be better placed to raise some sort of Brexit "gain" as a distraction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I appreciate PnB is a very small slice of a rather specialist demographic, but: could we please have a show of hands for those you know: 1. immediate householders who have Covid. 2. those who have connections to, but self sufficent, family members with/suspected Covid;. 3. Work colleagues self isolating with suspected Covid. 4. Known self isolations because of Covid. 5. Any other known hospitalisations as a result or Covid? it’s definitely real but I’d be surprised if, in our little corner of the world, we’ve got more than two dozen or so individuals directly, seriously and significantly affected. Prove me wrong? (that does of course never deny individual hospitalisations or deaths as trivial. What I am trying to do to is get some sort of a measure of real experience vs what is being fed through the media). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am trying to do to is get some sort of a measure of real experience vs what is being fed through the media). Four positive cases in my family. Two with mild disease- both young and fully recovered. Brother-in-law. Mid 40s super fit. Seriously unwell with it. Fully recovered now but had the disease in March and easily 4-5 months until full recovery. Wife's uncle. Mid 70s, diabetes and a bit overweight. Dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the USSR they used to be told that production of rationed goods had increased, but there never used to be much material benefit to prove it.

Yes. Is it likely, though, is a whole different question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keeping an open mind and remaining vigilant. I will probably refuse the vaccine, too. However, one thing I'm convince of, is that the economic repercussions will last a long, long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
