vikingTON Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57109039 Classic British media, pish-drenched response: Quote The move could alarm some Americans, with less than half of the population fully vaccinated and no way to confirm whether someone has received their shots or not. Just as well that the CDC and lawmakers filed all these irrational alarms in the bin where they belong then. You cannot mandate the rest of society as a comfort blanket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 My parents themselves appear to have been brainwashed by the media. Every time I speak to my mum shes giving it 'Aye we'll be back in lockdown by September'. When I ask her why, when the hospilisations and deaths are dropping she can't really give me an answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to get it but doubt if it will mean anything regarding getting things back to any semblance of normality. Indian variation this week, any number of variations the following weeks. Just seems so pointless getting these vaccinations if they are not going to make a blind bit of difference to the constant threats of more lockdowns. End of May/mid June everything should be opened up, imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guy in Israel was given loads of doses back in the very early days of vaccine rollout. Don’t remember hearing anything more about him so assume it all worked out OK.

Though cant be 100% i heard it right.

Guest bernardblack Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I had to chase up my second vaccine and felt the response was a bit “oh god we’ve forgotten him” Hopefully that isn’t a common theme 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 58 minutes ago, virginton said: The UK is all over the place with its 'Indian variant!!!!111!!!' panicfest, with today's latest wheeze being the idea that they might bring second doses forward in affected areas. This makes no fucking sense. If they are concerned by clusters of cases, then they should be postponing second doses and delivering the crushing impact of the first dose to everyone who walks down the street right now. If they are concerned about future hospitalisations then they should continue their current course regardless but then have no grounds to delay opening up or reimposing local restrictions. The government and the public health psychos want to have it both ways yet again. Also talking about jagging younger people in multi-generational households. Putting more effort into figuring out who should be jagged rather than getting needles in arms will only slow the programme down and was previously resisted by JCVI when teachers and police officers were looking to be moved to the top of the queue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Snafu said: Here - https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/scotland-nicola-sturgeon-indian-glasgow-scottish-b935096.html Scotland is seeing a “loss of control” of the pandemic in some areas and it is premature to lift restrictions, an epidemiologist has warned. Dr Deepti Gurdasani said action must be taken to prevent the situation worsening amid concerns about the spread of one of the new Indian variants of the virus north of the border. ''This is what early exponential rises look like and we're seeing loss of control of the pandemic in many parts of Scotland'' Moray currently has the highest rate in Scotland at 98.1 cases per 100,000 and is unlikely to join the rest of the country by dropping down a level under the Scottish Government’s five-tier system as restrictions ease on Monday. Dr Gurdasani, a clinical epidemiologist and senior lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, said lifting restrictions was premature. She told BBC Good Morning Scotland: “The idea is certainly premature, in fact the government should be considering the opposite. “In Scotland as a whole we’ve actually seen the number of new cases double in the last week, and while the cases are so low it’s hard to see exponential rises. “This is what early exponential rises look like and we’re seeing loss of control of the pandemic in many parts of Scotland, and the situation is likely much wider and other places will follow unless action is taken to actually prevent this and pre-empt this now.” Also - “If you look at cases in older age groups they’re quite flat at this point in time, so we’re not really seeing infections in those groups and that might be a vaccine effect or it might just be an effect of lower mixing, we don’t know yet.” To be fair Gurdasani is well known as an utter crackpot so rightly ignored. Makes Devi seems reasonable and level headed. Edited May 14, 2021 by Honest_Man#1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think it's fair to say that "we just don't know" and "we do know, but don't want to admit yet that we have a huge cigar order placed" are essentially the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Keeping Glasgow in level 3 will have very, very predictable results. Can anyone guess what they might be....The only folk losing control of anything are the government, who have conpletely lost touch with reality as this has gone on. Edit; id hope there will be little criticism of weegies in bars and restaurants around central Scotland. I for one would be doing the exact same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I’m now at the stage where I’m actively enjoying seeing people completely ignore restrictions and enjoying themselves. People have been doing it for a good while now and the rates of hospitalisations, ICU and mortality have all continued to reduce/hold. It’s blatantly obvious that the risk is absolutely minimal, so seeing some people absolutely losing the plot at people ignoring the restrictions and trying to grass people up is becoming a good laugh. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they aren't preventing me getting into Leith's finest hostelries on Monday they can go wild. Keep them west of Livingston where they belong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
