Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

So that's on average less than 3 people per hospital with covid in Scotland and about 1 person in ICU for every 3 hospitals.
If a developed rich country can't cope with that then there's serious questions to be asked of those in charge of our health system.
There are over 200 hospitals in Scotland with Covid patient wards ? Amazed if that isn't just made up nonsense.

Deepti shitting the bed on her statistics here. Of the 15% who are absent (mentioned in her tweet) the table shows that 5% of that is due to Covid, and the rest due to non-Covid factors. Every year kids get colds and the like a couple of weeks after going back to class - but she's presenting this as part of her covid-in-kids crusade as a bigger deal than it is.

Ooooo I know. Pick me. Pick me. I know the answer. Pick me.
Ah deflection, So what is the answer.....made up pish ?

10 hospitals in NHS A&A, of those 2 have Covid wards. Nothing like twisting the facts to suit your argument but your not daft you knew fine you were speaking well out of context.

It is what it is when it comes to hospital pressures unless you believe those stating publicly they are at highest level pressures are lying ?

Covid is directly not the main contributor to that pressure but indirectly it is through all the other services it has delayed. Add in isolation and absence there is no reason to disbelieve them.

Not really sure what point you were even trying to make with your figures.

I doubt that every Scottish hospital has an ICU though?

Anyway, Jane Godley was paid £12,000 for those adverts.

I've retained my SNP membership throughout the pandemic despite.my reservations but this right here will result in me melting down my members card and making darts out of it.

How do you stop folk being tested when they are being bombarded by both UK and Scottish govts to be tested with no symptoms or a symptom from an ever growing list of common ever day ailments.

Firstly, you stop bombarding the public with this messaging, and the absolute nonsense that perfectly well people are walking about infecting large swathes of people.

Secondly, you withdraw the ability for every tom, dick and harry to get tested at will, reverting to the normal method of leaving it up to medical professionals to determine whether or not a test is required when someone presents themselves to them.

You do this against a backdrop of continuing to advise against leaving the house when unwell, advising people to get vaccinated, and inviting those who would normally be offered a flu jag a booster jag in the Autumn.

These would be rational and appropriate steps to easing the covid paranoia, instead of the "everyone test yourself twice a week" nonsense we have at the moment.

There is absolutely no point in shovelling boatloads of money at trying to contain an airborne virus, whilst simultaneously maintaining a fully open society. Its like trying to stop a boat sinking by scooping out the water with a bucket.

#CancelJaneyGodley trending in the UK now and folk petitioning to have her removed from the Christmas pantomime in Aberdeen.

At least we know from past experience that Janey will take this well, not rise to the bait and stay quiet on the matter. 

If anything good at all is to come from the last 18 months of pish, the burning of Janey Godley's career would be fucking brilliant.

Is anyone testing themselves twice a week though?  

Are you supposed to? I'm double-jagged and have had literally no symptoms at any stage and therefore haven't tested myself at all yet. What's the fucking point? **Insert Mixu meme**

Encouraged to test twice a week even without symptoms.
