That poster has the quintessential "The whole world should revolve around me!!!" attitude because having kids gives you extra points.

It doesn't. Of course doesn't.

But you were a child yourself one day, and you'd do well to remember that

Its a perfectly valid point. You and your wee gang - none of whom have fathered a child, and thus have an entirely blinkered view - who have some axe to wield against the only. The only. The only set of people who won't be offered a vaccination. 

probably because governance is bending over backwards to not only accommodate them, but refusing to acknowledge the actual effect this is having compared to literally every other aspect of society, then blaming them anyway

which in turn ironically destroys the economy and anything an education actually sets children up for, making it a moot point in the process

but please, offer us more sanctimonious shite about the poor neglected children not getting a vaccine from santa

f**k off

4.4million people in Scotland over 18 will be eligible for the vaccine.

Is this not just "everyone in Scotland over 18"? 

Should mibbe consider denying it to anyone who voted Tory.

Once the elderly/vulnerable/front line staff get vaccinated I wonder how long it will take to allow some semblance of normality to return (fans at sport events, gigs etc)? Surely we cant continue to be panned off with excuses for why 300 folk cant be spread out, wearing facemasks and outdoors to watch Stranraer v Elgin

He still is a child going by the red-dotting campaign by him and his wee gang.

Right so even if the modern school canteens are small, kids could go, buy their sandwiches or whatever at staggered times and eat in classrooms or common areas or amazingly.. in the playground? 
Local authorities could lower prices especially given the captive audiences/economies of scale/purchasing power. 
I am in favour of schools being open at the moment, but when the schools seem to make zero effort its hard to counter the arguments being made to shut them. 

I cover lunchtimes in a nursery, seeing what’s served, I’d be heading offsite for food too. Awful.

Its a shame to see my earlier post concerning the health and well being of children (the most vulnerable in our society) being deemed worthy of this type of downvoting. I like to see the post played, and not the poster. Starting to fear that may not have been the case on this occasion.

I mean, imagine what type of person you have to be to express displeasure at this sort of concern....

 

Spoiler

That's correct. A Tory.

You don't dot, you're not in the gang/clique/flange. Serious business. Get dotting.

I think we all know the answer to that question.

Aye, it's here:

https://beta.isdscotland.org/find-publications-and-data/population-health/covid-19/covid-19-statistical-report/16-september-2020/dashboard/

Go into the setting tab. Gives you the total number of settings mentioned for each week. You can then go to the drop down menu and look into the sub categories (for example, work and education)

So for the week ending the 15th it looks to me like there was 828 mentions of education in 13,000 setting entries, or about 6.3% of all entries. Shopping (2174/16%) personal care - whatever the f**k that means (1038/8%) and eating out (942/7.2%) all showing up higher. Working in health care comes in just behind education at (701/5.3%).

I don't dot as much as my brothers-in-arms but will gladly lay down my life for the wee clique.

So once we’ve closed the schools then the next target will be hospitals and doctors’ surgeries?

I don't know, I think people with a terminal illness with symptoms that don't trouble them much should get a bit of leeway to tick off their bucket list. It's about getting the general numbers down, a few defined exceptions won't make a difference.

On their own with enough cash to fly their corpse home should the worst happen then I would tend to agree but flying out there with your kids, that have probably been in school, with travel insurance that won't even pay out for cancellation due to the pandemic so will almost certainly not pay for repatriation of a corpse. Sorry to be morbid because her situation is dire and of course everyone would do anything they could to make her limited time on earth happy and filled with memories so flying to the canaries doesn't for me merit a special case.

Tbf this is one of your better takes as @Szamo's_Ammo probably has been a child.

The only shop in Stobswell that is open early enough for folk that start work before 7am for a roll or milk etc is now closing its doors. 

Shits getting real.

Please close gp surgeries, I'm burst.

I've got some beer for tonight though, too reinvigorate me for tomorrow's hell,sorry shift.

Now remember everyone here is a wee tip for you, if you're looking for a sickline or medication, phone on a Friday afternoon, we're all so fucking knackered we will give you anything within reason just to get rid of you.

Unless you're a c**t...

I spoke to mine on Tuesday, think I could’ve asked for 6 months off and I would’ve got it!

Stage 4 cancer doesn't mean she can conk out at any minute and it would be irresponsible for her to take her kids on holiday, it just means her lifespan is severely curtailed, there is no cure. If she feels fit enough to take her kids on holiday then she more than likely is.

Why arent the schools stopping them going out at lunch? Why arent they wearing masks? Why arent older teenagers social distancing? Pretty reasonable and easy steps to take.

Have you ever met any teenagers?
