Elixir Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, PWL said: The confidence on this thread placed in Johnson, statistically the worst leader in the western world in terms of deaths, is quite something. That would have a lot more weight to it if Sturgeon and her Government weren't also in the Champions League places after winning the Europa League among comparative sized nations for rates of death. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something wildly different? Wildly different. Beer gardens allowed with a maximum of 1 person from 0 households by November, but only if you are good and only with a 3 course meal.

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The race is on and it is a race. I expect to see NS beat BJ. The press might not spin it that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed quite distanced from the uk approach and also dismissed the schools evidence as it was essential that they opened. Presenter, ex rugby guy, asked him why they were more important than old folks homes considering 14000 people had died without any support from families. Hes got a point, schools less important imo I don't think he did dismiss the schools evidence. My recall is that he accepted schools going back would put transmission up and that as such would need to be monitored. A lot of what Leitch says irritates me but I don't think it's either correct or reasonable to say he dismissed the issue re schools reopening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be enhanced somewhat, if they’ve got the horses in the telly and I can lose a few quid having a flutter. My Nirvana, I can’t wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if the SG ones do have more specific figures tbh I'd not be opposed to that, providing they are sensible, but mainly to ensure the SG stuck to them instead of getting ideas of #ZeroCovid and going down the "longer lock down for greater reward" road again if the figures once again get much lower much quicker than they expected.

Elixir Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Given the rates we saw in Scotland last summer, combined with greater immunity in the population and the quite incredible vaccines, there should be even less excuses for restrictions north of the border come June or July.

Good point. It's one thing to talk about when we can vaccinate everyone in the top 9 JCVI groups, but it shouldn't be forgotten that there will be considerable levels of immunity via infection among the remaining groups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but we're looking at a completely different mindset from the SG compared to 12 months ago. I'm happy to accept their 'data led' approach, but only if that works both ways.....that it's not only negative data that influences policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously ??? Yes. Johnson has went big and bold, but with necessary and sensible caveats. Sturgeon has a track record of being very careful and cautious. Tomorrow is an opportunity for her to lift the mood of the nation. The vaccines are going to be a big success, so she should act accordingly with the road map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
