See also the disgusting comments re a woman who was struggling to see her dying father, or people wanting restrictions to continue/ramp up for "the seethe" on here. Definitely a few who are far too invested on This Thread and could do with taking a step back. On behalf of the Simps, it is great to see you back posting, rather than just dotting. On the “disgusting comments” point - i know you don’t want to answer, but I’ll ask again anyway (this will be either the third or forth time you have swerved it). If your father was critically ill, and you were overseas, would you: A) come straight back, or B) go to Majorca for 10 days first. Feel free to answer this really tough question whenever works for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 16 minutes ago, Left Back said: It’s actually aout half a percent that are potential re-infections. I don’t think there’s any doubt that re-infections are happening but it’s a tiny number. Yup, and though that percentage will probably increase over time, it's highly likely they will be exceedingly mild in nature. This is how we move from the pandemic to Covid just being another shan virus like all the others we live alongside, as it will no longer be circulating in a naive population with no immunity. Hopefully the moon howlers will be able to understand this eventually. This would also have happened even without vaccines, it just would have been a lot more painful. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that prospect any more. Of course, all this is good news for places like Europe and the US - less so for the isolationist biosecurity states in the Far East and Australasia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 40 minutes ago, WATTOO said: Our Tesco is exactly the same, half of the shelves are empty and they're struggling with deliveries arriving apparently. Like everything else though, the minute you announce "there's no need to panic buy", then there's only one thing liable to happen. Human nature. I couldn't believe what I was hearing the other day on Radio Scotland. They started a piece about potential supermarket shortages by correctly stating that the biggest lesson we learned last time was that the panic-buying wasn't necessary. They then proceeded to encourage listeners to phone in with their experience of shortages in real time, so the program was punctuated by the reading out of texts from concerned locals warning the nation that RS McColls in Tomintoul was out of bottled water etc. Ridiculous broadcasting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of Javid or any of his cronies but in my mind he's got absolutely nothing to apologise for. The country really needs to get over this idea that you have to make allowances for every nutter who wants to feel offended by something or another and just tell them to GET A GRIP rather than pandering to them, otherwise we'll have a nation of people who will never ever speak their minds or give an honest assessment of anything, for fear of being attacked by someone or another. It really is a very dangerous road. Javid was absolutely spot on. Why he needs to apologise is crazy. The word ‘cower’ is very apt for so many people just now. What I found most disturbing on my train journeys yesterday is that it is the young who seem to be most cowed and most conformist. In my younger days it was the youth who were the rebels. Very worrying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 10 hours ago, Savage Henry said: I haven’t read all 5,800 pages of this, but are people genuinely arguing that the majority of Scots - or even a substantial minority - are opposed to the guidelines? Or is it just the inevitable trolling that brings the utter weirdos to the surface of P&B? Purely anecdotally, I would say that the uptake of masks inside shops and on public transport is close to 90%. If we were to implement the Italian model, whereby even walking down the high street is subject to a spot fine for not wearing a mask, I’d imagine compliance would be high there too. In short, if you don’t wear a mask on public transport, you’re just being a conspicuous dickhead. All of that being said, I still think I’d feel uncomfortable going to the football, where the number of non masks seemed to be significantly higher, looking at the photos from yesterday. 10 hours ago, Savage Henry said: Were my club not managed by an incompetent racist, I wouldn’t be returning to the football yet as I don’t think the requirements are stringent enough. I've been thinking about these posts since I read them earlier You enjoy live music a lot, certainly more than me and probably the most of anyone on here. If you think the current set-up for Scottish football grounds isn't stringent enough, will you ever go to a gig again? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
