PWL Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Worth a quick look at this thread. Israeli data saying elderly immunity taking a bit longer to develop in care home. 18 days. Highlights importance of second jag. Edited February 2, 2021 by PWL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t give dates but from the tone sounded fairly imminent. Also did a great job of avoiding the Sunday vaccination number question with irrelevant stats about our prevalence vs England. Should spice this thead up a bit again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 They probably think if they publicise refusals then the numbers will increase. The same reason you never see much in the media about suicides. Again a valid point but you don't include them in the total jagged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The Edinburgh Evening News has compiled a comments section of opinions on the mass vaccination centre at EICC - it’s mostly just people whining about the location (central, right next to tram stops, bus stops and a train station with several car parks within a five minute walk). https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/letters/it-was-nice-speak-people-again-your-views-edinburghs-mass-vaccination-centre-3120013What chance have you got? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Should spice this thead up a bit againYou know the script already. Folk in here screaming for details of relaxation of measures in Feb. SG announces 1st relaxation on 2 Feb ie phased school return and same people will scream that it's not their preferred relaxation despite it being crystal clear from the get go that schools returning would be the first easing. They can't win in the eyes of a good few in here now. It's got stupidly entrenched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Interesting comments regarding it not being a race when it was fairly clear early on that that's precisely what the Scottish Tories were trying to turn it into. There's obviously lots of hard work going on out there, everyone I know above 70 will have had the jag by the end of the week, including my parents - so thank f'ck for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I mean, it basically should be treated as a race though, we want to get as many jags in as many arms as quickly as possible. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SG came out and said that they knew schools being open had a negative impact on the R rate, but it was a risk they feel is acceptable then it wouldn't be an issue. They never will, though.

Was stuck in A&E for most of Saturday, lots of signs in the hospital saying visitors were only permitted in cases of end of life care so have to assume he is about to shuffle off this mortal coil.

The thing is, they have said that. Nicola Sturgeon stood up at one of the briefings and specifically said it was a balance of risks. Swinney has also said the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
