It is a race. The more we vaccinate and the faster we vaccinate the fewer people die. People who say it isn't a race or the nasty Tories are making it a race or the Tories are making it all up are just trying to deal with the fact that at this point it looks like their team aren't winning the race. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Fair enough i missed that thenFair enough. It’s just been a trope on here since August, and quite a few people saying “ I just wish they’d be honest” when they have been saying since at least October (if not before) that it was a balance of risks and harms. If the SG really thought schools were completely safe, they wouldn’t be closed right now. The fact they are indicates an acceptance of that. The real question is over the effectiveness of distance learning and the impact on the most disadvantaged in society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise the people saying we shouldn’t be comparing ourselves with the rest of the U.K. Why on earth shouldn’t we be comparing ourselves to neighbouring countries that have access to the same supply per head of population as we do?

The answer is in the post you quoted. You can bet your mortgage that were the roles reversed, it would be getting sung from the rooftops and infinite amounts of smoke blown up certain arses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Schools going back isn't themselves an issue. It's the constant references to them being safe that irks people. Along with the likes of Sridhar wanting them open at the same time as pushing #ZeroCovid nonsense. 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. I'm not sure there is anyone out there who doesn't realise that relaxation of any measure is likely to see a rise in R and hence the reason why the whole process needs to be phased and stage managed. I have yet to here Swinney, Leitch or any other stake holder even once say schools opening wouldn't lead to an R rate rise, it was why they were closed in first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Anticipating a bit of nuance to the schools announcement - i.e. nurseries and primaries potentially back but older kids remaining confined to barracks. Would be in line with the stuff that Sridhar has entirely coincidentally been pumping out over the last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't work out if you're someone who is incredibly frustrated by the virus and truly hates the measures that the SG are taking, or someone who is delighted that the virus is there because you see it as a golden chance for the SG to fail. Probably a bit of both. You've definitely got more excited in the last few days when the vaccination statistics look bad for the SG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s literally a five minute walk from a bus stop at the bottom of the town with a massive car park. The most vulnerable have been vaccinated at local surgeries, to ramp things up larger venues are needed. There is plenty of things to criticise but this isn’t one of them.
