superbigal Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) FFS I was really quite excited on spying on the Croatians. Scotgov fecked that now as well. Croatia have followed the example of Czech Republic by moving their Euro 2020 finals base to their homeland as a result of Scottish Covid-19 rules. The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) says it will not be moving into its proposed team camp in St Andrews. Executive director Marijan Kustic said it could not risk "the whole team being sent into self-isolation". The HNS claimed it received a recommendation from Uefa to change the location of its base camp because of the potential impact of Scotland's Covid-19 regulations "on the national team's daily routines" should there be positive PCR test results. Head coach Zlatko Dalic and his squad will instead remain in Rovinj, where they have already been training at NK Rovinj Stadium. "Choosing any other international option for our team camp this close to the Euros would have been pure improvisation," Kustic said. "We acted responsibly and we found a quick solution for our team in these exceptionally difficult circumstances. We couldn't allow ourselves to place the whole team in danger of being sent into self-isolation by travelling to St Andrews." Dalic also agreed staying at their current base was "the best option". Uefa confirmed to be BBC Scotland that the decisions by both national associations was "due to the logistical impact of the national Covid-19 measures on the operational routines of the teams". University of St Andrews Sports Centre said in a statement: "While we are disappointed by the news that the Croatia national football team will not use our top-class facilities during Uefa Euro 2020, we understand their decision not to do so. Our performance centre remains open and available for use throughout the summer." St Andrews management refused to give details about "commercially sensitive financial agreements" when asked about the monetary impact of the countries' decisions.

Michael W Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 He said: "Of course the numbers of cases are relatively low at the moment - all waves start with low numbers of cases that grumble in the background and then become explosive, so the key here is that what we are seeing here is the signs of an early wave." However, he said the number of people who had been vaccinated in the UK meant this wave would probably take longer to emerge than previous ones. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57304515 Well, fancy that.. . the vaccines do what they are supposed to. The problem with doing what Professor Gupta wants is that after his few weeks are up he'll just say the same again, adding that we just don't know and are in a precarious position. They will never let go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The measurement is pish too. If someone is in hospital for an operation or that, and are asymptomatic but have tested positive it's ridiculous they're being counted. It should be people in hospital or ICU being treated FOR covid, not having tested positive. Flannel.They definitely need to revisit the definition if it is to be considered meaningful when there are low numbers. However, I would say the definition did make sense previously given that covid was likely an exacerbating factor in many of the hospitalisations and deaths from other illnesses - ie if the person didn't get covid then they may have been much less likely to need treatment for COPD or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_dog Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 2 hours ago, Honest_Man#1 said: What is going on with hospital numbers? They’re fluctuating wildly each day, often increasing by 20%+ then reducing the next day by the same amount. Something bizarre going on here. It's the first day since Friday that the hospital/ICU numbers have been reported, so this is a few days of changes, not just a single day. The numbers have been gradually going up since the middle of the month, and have only dropped twice in that time, but there is always a few days lag with hospital admissions, not sure if that's the same for discharges or not too? ICU numbers are more up to date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really compare them as they changed the way they counted them in September or October last year. At the peak in April 2020 we did have as many as around 200 in ICU, and in January about 160 in ICU. Right now we're probably roughly similar to where we were in September in terms of cases and hospital numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I’m really enjoying all these hot takes from the experts that vaccines designed to stop hospitalisations and deaths do in fact stop hospitalisations and deaths. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Anyone who is 30+ who got the 'be patient' message when they filled in the online form for missing appointments should give this phone number a try. My wife phoned up today and after a bit of huffing and puffing from the person she spoke to they got her an appointment this week in the mosque in Glasgow. We aren't in any of the postcodes that are a priority either. Edited May 31, 2021 by Pie Of The Month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
