Not rocket science. The rise was happening before Christmas due to pubs, restaurants and retail. Also we had Christmas in Scotland and the rise is not comparable to the south east.

We were all hoping we'd get sent home. Some of us would get furloughed others wfh. For the life of me, apart from guys working on essential maintenance, testing etc none of this is essential. Cynical view? The furlough budget wont stretch to it, so we carry on. But, to repeat myself, we should be getting the jag now, way before people who have been at home since March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essential workers should be vaccinated ASAP. Isn't that what somewhere in Asia is doing? Edited January 13, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that they have to take a swab from the back of your throat to see if you have Covid-19 then they look at your pubes to see if it's the Brazilian variant.....all very intrusive if you ask me.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Seems to be but I guess theyA) need to actually have people booked and attending the slotsB) don't want to fire through all the doses and then have people sitting doing nothing for weeks until we are confident the supplies will be coming.It's still early stages and still apparently on track for the over 80s by month end and 400k per week by end of Feb.Also sounds like they aren't using the mass sites yet which will greatly increase the numbers being done. Priority for Care Homes as well - someone made the point yesterday that that takes longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have vaccinated 80% of care home residents and 55% of care staff is pretty good going. That should surely see care home deaths drop dramatically? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Thought i might also "name the top Scottish Covid neighbourhood hotspots each day. Quite suprising actually. In 3rd Place down in the borders at 839 cases per 100K is Burnfoot which looks like it is close to Hawick In 2nd Place in Aberdeenshire at 913 cases per 100K is Cromar & Kildrummy somewhere near Aboyne I think. And todays 1st Prize goes to the Highlands !! with Alness at a staggering 1151 cases per 100K Stay tuned pop pickers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to claim that there were no variants at all prior to the UK Gov talking about "The Mutation" ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
