Elixir Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I mean, considering the WHO at least never advocated for utter nonsense like border closures, any talk of this 'pandemic treaty' will obviously ensure that never happens again... Right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 It's like the virus isn't even trying now. Not even a new variant klaxon here, just that the old one is still knocking about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we place bets on when the next community case is uncovered and folk end up like this for the umpteenth time: 'Social dynamic zero-Covid'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we not meant to be the most mask staunch in Europe, while around 12 countries are still stuck in early 2021? Weren't we here in Scotland meant to be the last if not the last to to drop any kind of restriction like wearing these minging snotter and saliva filled pieces of cotton from the deadly onslaught of a wee bought of sniffles? What went wrong, why were we more correct than them? We have freedoms Greece, Spain and Italy don't have. Should we be demanding they bin them just because we think we have the right to look like a baboons arse for a few days in July simply because we are British. Since when did we start telling other countries what to do for our own benefit stupidity? Maybe we should have waited until everyone else stopped wearing masks for the LOLs out of EU sympathy, unity and defiance against Westminter. We do have an angry band of people in Scotland who threw themselves under their beds (with their mobile phones) on the 18th April in terror, think of their feels. Or maybe not. I'm staying in Scotland this summer and spending my money in Scotland this summer to help keep the nasty recession at bay. What is your excuse?

superbigal Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Wonder how he knew he had the Rona with no testing or requirements. Jonathan Van-Tam misses knighthood ceremony due to Covid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'd imagine that as a still somewhat active healthcare professional he might have tested as a requirement for entering a clinical setting of some sort, in line with a large number of other people in the country who are still testing for their jobs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Saintsible Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) The the WHO treaty, the U.K. already had a pandemic plan before covid. It called for no border closures and stated that attempting to halt the spread was pointless. It stated that life should go on as normal. This was all thrown in the bin under pressure from the middle class left who attempted to protect themselves at the expense of the working class and the vulnerable.

NorthernLights Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Sturgeon has tested positive - https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/20/scotland-nicola-sturgeon-tests-positive-for-covid-19-and-is-isolating-16683898/ I was actually at an event on Thursday afternoon where she was the keynote speaker. Safe to say I saw no evidence during the time she was there that she wore a mask, the same as everyone else at the event which was great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hopefully now that NS knows what it feels like to have a wee cold she'll take some time to have a wee look at herself in the mirror and consider how OTT her actions have been over the last 2 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the list of who is eligible for testing: you work in the NHS health or social care settings you have a health condition which means you’re eligible for new coronavirus treatments you're going into hospital for surgery or a procedure you're visiting a hospital or care home you're an unpaid carer you're applying for the self-isolation support grant We can probably strike off the first one and the last two, but the other three are very possible given that Sturgeon’s personal medical profile and that of her loved ones is a completely private matter. More likely though is that she has just bought a box of lateral flows to use if she happened to feel unwell and that’s exactly what’s happened here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian1 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I tested positive yesterday for the first time. Certainly more than a wee cold - felt awful last night and really struggled to sleep (too hot all the time) Was due to go to my works annual conference - first since 2019 - on Monday and was really looking forward to seeing colleagues for the first time in ages but that obviously wont be happening now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
