Give us a real idea of progress in all of the councils. Also updated the home nations for the same 2 weeks. Ignoring the shambles that is the Scottish prison service in 2 council areas. Really poor figures from some of the councils. On the flip side some amazing success stories. 6 councils have more than halved their cases. East Dunbartonshire, P&K, Angus, Dundee, Aberdeen & Borders. I actually predict tomorrow we will see the 1st daily rise in infections in 40 days. The CYNIC in me wonders if the Saturday figures have been manipulated because they stand out like a sore thumb against usual Saturday numbers. This of course gives a great "BAD NEWS" story to bring to the table. Daily infections have now dropped for 39 days in a row since the peak on 4th January. The total drop being 65.62%. Total cases are 5,669 and the positive test rate is up to 5.7%. Wales have now passed us by which is also unfortunate. England 309.5 to 167.5 have dropped 45.88% in 2 weeks. Wales 162.2 to 100.9 have dropped 37.79% in 2 weeks , Northern Ireland 235.3 to 140.6 have dropped 40.25% in 2 weeks. Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan From 23rd Jan to 29th Jan 2 weeks ago we were at 136.2 Yesterdays figure for 5th Feb to 11th Feb was 104.3 Todays figure for 6th Feb to 12th Feb is 103.8 Another single Day drop of 0.48%. The drop from a fortnight ago from 136.2 to 103.8 is 23.79% Council progress in last 14 Days as follows.

I should qualify that if Greer had correctly stated that the arse cheeks should be prohibited from having fans back long after the rest of us have returned to our routine of shite pies and abuse, he would have my vote plus that of anyone I could successfully bully into it. bullying is never acceptable. It's very easy to feel down at the minute but you can only look forward to better times ahead. Imagine how good it will be when fans are back at the football. The atmosphere will be great and attendances will be up. The next time at a live music gig. The night out with mates. I'm just back from my daily steps and it's great to feel the relative warmth in the air today and how bright it feels.....and it's 4 months till the Euros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I don’t pay much attention to Greer but he probably took a few years off Piers Morgan’s life with his annoying wee smug contrarian act so I’m all for him still. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 We usually hear Sturgeon going on about how many of a certain age group have been given a jab. Why the change in her rhetoric today when she said on numerous occasions - " Have been offered the jag"Because they are to all intents and purposes finished with those age groups. They have vaccinated everyone who wanted vaccinated. It's one thing to use offered in that context, it's another to use it as a description of a person sent a letter inviting them to take the jag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, that was funny but he needs to act his age more, far to serious. Go out son and get smashed on merrydown get your hole and wake up covered in a king sized kebab. That will stand you in good stead for a life of politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be hard to reverse. I mean, do you think there is ANY chance of attending football being treated in accordance with the risk it presents being an outdoor activity, at any point on the road out of this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 That Piers Morgan moment is what has turned Greer IMO. He saw what his smug wee patronising act could get him and now it's all he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Todd_is_God said: There is nothing wrong with continuing to research. But even with reduced efficacy, the vaccine still performs much better at preventing serious illness than the flu vaccine ever does, and will have much greater population coverage. Talking constantly about a specific, hypothetical, mutation like it is A guaranteed to happen, and B will happen abroad, helps no one think rationally. And comparing it to the chance of an asteroid hitting the earth is a much more sensible approach?

Lyle Lanley Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm sure when SG announce the new system going forward. Edinburgh will be still in lockdown regardless of the cases considering their treatment of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas during the tier system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I didn’t know much about Greer at all, but purely based on the little I’ve seen, he looks like the closest he’d get to a sports pitch is to be the linesman so not surprised at all at those comments. Absolute wet wipe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I'm a member of the Green Party and have actually leafleted for them in the local area over the last couple of years. I generally agree with Greer on a lot of issues (for example he was spot on about the exam results fiasco all summer), but he's bang out of order on this one and I've emailed him (as my List MSP) to say so. The notion of collective punishment is just an absolutely rotten take - the only reason to not have crowds at events is for public health reasons - as soon as it is safe to do so there is absolutely no reason not to.

It would be nice if our leaders acknowledged this whilst talking about them absolutely every day.I would prefer to simply say that mutation is an inevitability of any virus, and with that in mind, people can rest assured that mutations will be tracked, and vaccines tailored in real time to ensure that no mutation is allowed to become a problem of the scale we seen prior to having any vaccines at all. Just kill the fucking chat stone dead and let those employed to deal with this shit as they do every year with flu handle their business. The amount of airtime given to political correspondents analysing something they have less than zero fucking clue about has been as bizarre as it is brutal throughout this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 What's that, government desperate to get the schools back and then the BBC posts some stuff about it being "mostly okay"? That would never happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have vaccinated everyone who wanted vaccinated. It's one thing to use offered in that context, it's another to use it as a description of a person sent a letter inviting them to take the jag. I'm guessing this is in reference to everyone deciding that was definitely what WM meant, before they came out and clarified that it meant they'd actually vaccinated everyone that could have one and wanted one. The SG are only using the word "offered" now because, as they have reached the date they said they would achieve everyone in the top 4 JCVI categories, it sounds better than saying something along the lines of "we have vaccinated 98% of those in the top 4 groups" - that's not a criticism of it not being 100% btw, as there are obvious reasons why 100% is unrealistic. On that note, it's a great achievement to achieve that. Well done. Edited February 15, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
