Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 7 minutes ago, Honest_Man#1 said: I was thinking about this actually. What level of an increase in hospital numbers would people feel it’s justified to go backwards with restrictions? 100 in hospital? 500? There will undoubtedly be a bit of a rise, but I’ll be fuming if we get a small, but higher than now, number in hospital and instantly shit the bed when it’s an inevitability without the whole population vaccinated. You think they’ll do the cautious thing for a week or so until they have evidence of hospitalisations increasing etc or scientific modelling and then move from there? Wonder how many businesses and lives will be ruined by the ‘just dont know’ approach? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm in Shawlands and just received a text from the NHS telling me I've been identified as a priority to receive the vaccine. Mid-20s and no underlying conditions. Much rather this than the asymptomatic testing they were pushing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Excellent. Fewer cases, positivity down and hospital numbers back down as well? I can't remember what they were on Friday. Hospital numbers were I think 64 on Friday. That said they’ve hovered around mid sixties last week so are essentially unchanged. ICU number at 3 is unchanged from Friday. Edit to add hospital number was 72 last Monday. ICU number was 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The whole thing reeks to me of someone (Leitch probably) falling asleep at the part of the risk management training that covered "residual risk". These fannies are quite literally chasing an impossible task, because the "Indian Variant" like all of the other geographically named ones, has f**k all to do with India, and in the world we live in, quite sinply cannot be contained. Why havent they woken up to this yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Research showing no significant concerns in terms of vaccine efficacy? Leitch et al entirely unwilling to explain Entirely unaccountable? No adult conversation? Businesses being destroyed with no notice, families unable to meet up indoors as planned, illegal to give yer granny a cuddle in Glasgow? Is this genuinely the world we want to live in? Are these measures actually proportionate? Where is the evidence of the NHS being likely overwhelmed? It's nanny state pish and I'm sick fed up of it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough to buy all the staff struggling to pay their bills a ‘build your own sunshine kit’. Absolutely f**k this shite. Hospital rates remain low, cases under 200?

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm just back from a glorious 10 days of hillwalking and kayaking in the West Highlands with a couple of mates. We had been genuinely concerned that we'd have to cancel our accommodation due to the nonsense indoor mixing rules, losing deposits etc in the process. Thankfully the owner was happy enough to let us continue with the booking with no fucks given. Unfortunately we forgot to buy cigars. I'd stayed in a hostel the first 3 days and they are really having a hard time of it as they could only let out one room per household, and as families generally don't use hostels, they were basically letting out the entire place to only 5 individuals. The sooner this draconian pish is fired into the fucking sun the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Would like to see the rationale behind any further restrictions for the sake of a couple of hundred asymptomatic cases while no one is being admitted to hospital.

In Europe cases continue to drop apart from in Sweden. The UK has also dropped a further 2 spots in deaths per million to 13th in Europe. Glasgow continues to surge on the South Side along with its near neighbours in East Renfrew. So no real update from yesterday. Astonished East Renfrew did not get the same treatment.

What's the point?The hospital number has somewhat plateaued latterly so Covid admissions and discharges must be at a similar rate. In the week to 11th May 63 patients were admitted to hospital with confirmed Covid 19. https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-daily-data-for-scotland/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Cases, variants, cases, variants, cases, variants. Don't bother with the news, folks. It'll have some public health jobby on repeating the mantra. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
