I'm the only true hermit so that might excuse me but the others live in major cities in the UK and mingle constantly. Not one of them has had so much as a sniffle. Sounds like we are about the last people left to get it. Mind though it's an absolute shanner so there's every chance you've had it and been none the wiser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small sample, but I don't remember a poll with such opposition to masks previously. More proof that NS no longer has her finger anywhere near the pulse in terms of public support for her care more act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small sample and the P&J is quite a Tory paper which will skew it as well but I was surprised by the numbers. It's hard to gauge public opinion from the posts on here or twitter. You'd think the SNP would have more of an idea which way the mood is turning. Or maybe I give them too much credit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Reporting Scotland leading tonight with 'record numbers in hospital' with one fleeting mention that 'not all those in hospital are being treated for the virus'. After a bit of chat asking people if they support removing restrictions with hospital numbers high, we get a preview of Devi on The Nine tonight saying testing being stopped will lead to deaths. Record hospital numbers is absolutely a story. And I can understand why it's the lead. However they should be keen to highlight why numbers are higher and, at the very least, give people an idea of how many are in because of Covid - even if that's by referencing the figures in England seen as we aren't capable of counting that here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that clip with Devi. Its a disgraceful piece of journalism from Martin Geissler. When Devi states her nonsense instead of questioning her on it or asking for evidence he puts on a big serious face and repeats "people will die". Sensationalist scaremongering pish and I expect better from the BBC Geissler is a w**k 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV News meanwhile, alongside an interview with Javid, making it abundantly clear that 60% of those hospital figures are incidental.

ac2907 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 She was on radio five yesterday morning saying people are dying from strokes and heart attacks a year after having covid, wtf! Also claiming 1.5 million are suffering from long covid, numbers not even challenged by interviewer, the woman is a mentalist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Just seen the interview on The 9. Akin to Kuenssberg interviewing de Pfeffel levels of non journalism. Her false modesty was as nauseating as Geisslers sycophancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm sure she was quick to point out that although there are poor souls who've had further more serious medical issues a year or so after contracting covid this was clearly pre-omicron and irrelevant in terms of how we should be managing things now. Unless of course we're pushing the we just don't know rhetoric for the rest of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a revelation! Anyone who believes LoNg CoViD is akin to chronic disability and that the number of sufferers is in the millions frankly needs consigned to an asylum. Maybe Devi and Deepti can sponsor it? 59 minutes ago, oaksoft said: Someone could do the bare minimum of journalism and simply list 4 or 5 of the major predictions she made which she was completely wrong about and ask her why her current prediction should be believed. Was she asked about how Hong Kong and South Korea are getting on? Apparently we have a lot to learn from there. Something about Probably Being The Best Covid Response In The World. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article makes it clear that it’s individual schools who may need to close for a few days because they don’t have enough staff - indeed, I know of two schools where it’s already happened in Edinburgh. There, surprisingly, isn’t some bank of unlimited simply teachers just waiting for this. If you get 1-in-14 infected, and you expect isolation, this will keep happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll ask you to compare death levels and you'll have handed her a victory on a plate. The current death rate in Hong Kong is multiple times the worst rate Britain or indeed any other country ever saw. And this is with vaccines. There is absolutely no excuse for it as this stage. Crap coverage in the oldies = bad results. In a weird juxtaposition, they've also partially relaxed their travel rules. Wouldn't quite say they've chucked the towel in, but maybe the hand towel has been readied to be thrown. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/21/hong-kong-eases-covid-travel-rules Edited March 22, 2022 by Michael W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
