Indoor events and hospitality still to go mind. If those restrictions aren’t lifted tomorrow, then the SG are more out of touch than I ever thought possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Due to a combination of circumstances I won’t bore people with I had to go for a PCR test with my son today. The place was basically empty and the staff, who were very polite and helpful, said it was very quiet, presumably due to the rules about accepting LFTs. They even said the results should be with us in less than 24 hours, compared to my mother in law and partner who almost spent their whole isolation period waiting for test results. When the time comes to dismantle the testing infrastructure it should be basically out of use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real scientists, and the only ones worth praising, are those who saved our arses by developing a working vaccine. The rest are tedious hangers-on media whores who deserve nothing but our contempt for getting in the way. this didn't happen. worse, its prolonged and exacerbated the hysteria agree on cowards who stayed silent until opinion is now shifting. this bloke knew the score from the start and didnt go public -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 25% fraud recovery rate is actually pretty good. It's the level of fraudulent claims paid that's the issue there but given the haste of the scheme it should surprise no one. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of people out there looking to exploit situations like this.

Like a sweetie shop for large OCGs A loophole they allowed was in the case of small rental property owners who were set up as a business, claimed 100% rates relief, quite correctly, but could then claim grants from the council if they were so inclined. Absolutely wrong morally to claim grants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 7 day Cases Update: 3 Day lag to allow reporting to be accurate. Cases DOWN 61% in the Tsunami which was due according to the Scottish advisors to peak end of January or into February. What is now very interesting for me is that the differences between the councils now are very small. This 100% cannot be blamed on behaviour, where previously you maybe had a council with 10 times the cases per 100K than another. This is 100% the new cold now. Total Cases Scotland 7 days 8th January to 14th January were 87,049 to 33,929 Down 61.02%, Positivity was 27.4% now 18.9%. Cases per 100K were 1592.6 now 620.7 Home Nations Weekly Cases per 100K update : England 1925 to 1273 Down 33.87%, Wales 2381 to 884 down 62.87%, Northern Ireland 2905 to 1478 Down 49.12% Cases in Europe in terms of of numbers per 100K France 2842 to 3147, Denmark 2200 to 2595, Ireland 2971 to 2497, Portugal 2127 to 2415, Switzerland 1975 to 2036, Italy 1839 to 2022, countries over 2000 and still mostly rising.
