Your quoting Devi ffs !

If you are seriously unable by now to tell the difference between Elimination/#ZeroCovid and Eradication then there's really no point in discussing it with you.

Who published that?

The Scottish Parliament.

Are people actually trying to claim here that NS has never expressed her desire to follow an elimination strategy, or that ZeroCovid is not the same as elimination?

Utterly bizarre if so.

No leaks or any journos have the info yet as they would surely have it all over the interweb by now 

As it should be, I can't stand the constant stream of leaks from the SG, if they know something 2 weeks previous tell us all or tell nobody.

Nicola and Wee Jason could be responsible for record levels of heads gone on here today. 

Aye its going to be fucking class to see all those on here who were given a glimmer of hope that they might be able to resume having a job/seeing relatives/getting married/burying loved ones/socialising/learning to drive/seeking medical treatment etc etc getting their dreams shattered eh.

I don't remember her expressly saying it and if it's the parliament that published that then I think @Billy Jean King is probably right I had a look there and there are some opinion pieces saying it's what we are doing but it has as far as I can see never been a policy announcement.

After yesterday, getting knocked back down a rung or two won't be a bad thing.

Nicola Sturgeon has said she wants “if at all possible” the current lockdown to be the last Scotland has to go through, as she confirmed her officials are still working towards eliminating coronavirus.

 

‘The objective hasn’t changed’

 

During the briefing on Thursday, Ms Sturgeon said she has “always been part of the school of thought that says we should be seeking to eliminate” the virus

Once we have everyone (or as near as possible to everyone) in the UK vaccinated, social distancing needs to be put on a bonfire and said goodbye to forever.

A horrible, cold and unnatural policy that limits all meaningful human interaction, experiences and daily life.

You only need to go back on the last ten or so pages and look at the many things people have said they'll be doing when this is all over to understand just how much we as a society have missed out on in this past year thanks to 'social distancing'.

I can just about accept in extreme circumstances to cut down excess deaths amongst an unvaccinated population at the height of a pandemic. Beyond that? Get it to absolute f**k man.

It'll make a change from pallets, I suppose...
