Abdul_Latif Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 11 minutes ago, WATTOO said: Talking of Spain, given that they've had a melting pot of foreign tourists all summer, they haven't required testing and everything has been pretty much open as normal, then one would have to question HOW they have managed to virtually eradicate covid when we're sitting here with all these testing requirements and entry restrictions yet we still have among the highest covid rates in the world ?? Surely the press should be badgering both the UK and SG on this and ask WHY these tests remain a requirement when they quite obviously are pointless and don't reflect the science or reality as it currently stands. We love the bevvy too much, and don’t exercise, or eat well for the most part. We are a sitting target, with the terrible health we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Spain and Portugal, they have both virtually eradicated covid (under 30 per 100,000 currently), yet face masks remain compulsory and strictly adhered to in all public transport, enclosed spaces and even in open stands at the football. 14 minutes ago, WATTOO said: Talking of Spain, given that they've had a melting pot of foreign tourists all summer, they haven't required testing and everything has been pretty much open as normal, then one would have to question HOW they have managed to virtually eradicate covid when we're sitting here with all these testing requirements and entry restrictions yet we still have among the highest covid rates in the world ?? Anyone might think masks might be of some use after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Nothing will be any different 12 months from now than it is today in terms of the virus. Sturgeon will never remove restrictions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 My holiday to Romania has been humped, they're in proper lockdown with all the pubs and restaurants shut, plus a large weekend event now cancelled as well when it looked like it might have escaped. Fuckin booo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the f**k do we save energy while schools, hospitals and nursing home boilers are running their tits off for 6 months over a Scottish winter cause all the windows are open?! Stick a politician in each room. The amount of hot air coming out of their mouths you could shut off the radiators, open the windows and everyone will still be warm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Im sure Biden and the pope will do everything they can to ensure they meet Nicola’s standards. Cop26 absolutely should have been cancelled, its amazing, NHS on its knees and the increased demand this will cause and disruption through protests etc but its somehow ok? Is it because if they held the conference digitally that NS wouldnt get to raise her profile?You do realise it's the UK hosting COP26 and the only reason it's in Glasgow is so it gets smashed up and not London. The SG has zero say on it going ahead or not.Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If the Scottish government genuinely didn't want it to go ahead they could definitely have put enough obstacles in the way to make it happen. I don't think it would have been a good idea though, it would have left them open to accusations of not caring about the environment and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 There is still a requirement for passengers to take a Covid test on the 2nd day after their arrival in Scotland. As there is UK wide. We are waiting on the UKG announcement which is now unlikely before the end of the month if haddies like Calder are to be believed anymore.

Elixir Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 That reply. Straight out the Gurdasani book of hysterical lies. Also, vulnerable or not, these irrational folk wanting all of society reworked for them after their full vaccination and subsequent booster need to be told tough shit, educated about risk, or both. Get them fined if they're keeping their weans off school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them fined if they're keeping their weans off school. A mate of mine has kept his daughter off school since August. She goes to his mum's every day while he's at work - his logic is that if his daughter catches covid or is even a close contact his daughter won't be able to go to his mum's and he'll need to take ten days off work and lose ten days' wages. Hard to argue with that logic to be honest. His mum's a retired teacher so she's still getting lessons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better just keep pointless theatre in place forevermore. Difference being that this time it's been more or less constant since March last year, rather than a busy month or so. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 At what point do you think we will stop the mandatory isolation period for positive tests? Or stop mass testing? The easy solution, of course, is to not run out to get tested the minute you feel like you have a cold, but that's another point altogether. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Glasgow bid for host city status, NS absolutely desperate to get involved. She was greeting about every other kind of mass event and is pretty quiet about this one. Not seen her or any of the mouthpieces whinging about #variants. Also public health and the rest in terms of entry to Scotland are controlled by the Scottish Government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would encourage people with covid, flu or any other potentially severe infectious disease to self isolate and not share it around at work etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
