O_Kahn Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Having a case rate 9x the Welsh is a bit much, even with the ICU figure below 10. Given the way cases in Angus have increased, I find it hard to believe that Aberdeen(shire) won't follow the same way in the next 7-10 days.

scottsdad Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Did we ever get an answer as to how many children are in hospital with Covid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said there had been no sign of an increase, and that the kids who tested positive were largely in for other reasons already. No idea why Humza Yousaf chose to come out with that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I don't see us going backwards in terms of tiers in the next few months but I fully expect some sort of restrictions on certain aspects of our lives come flu season, potentially with some sort of 'grace period' for the week between Christmas and New Year. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 The vaccines we use now were first tested on people last summer Apparently these test subjects are still showing resistance to the virus which shows these are largely effective for at least a year Put unnecessary foreign travel in the bin for a year if you have to until the rest of the world catches up but f**k me, let us live our lives now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherchance Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Clownshoes said earlier, in his usual hapless tone, that we're going straight from double dosing everyone into boosters. There absolutely needs to be a line in the sand, and the idea that it's just going to be a rolling vaccination programme until f**k knows when, suggests there's going to be no such line in the sand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why Humza Yousaf chose to come out with that stuff. Mostly because he isn't very good and has been put in a role where he's put his depth. It's what happens when the top jobs are allocated by demonstrated loyalty to the party/leader. A depressingly common occurrence. In normal times you can pass health off a bit as a place where you've succeeded in the role if you manage to avoid pissing off too many people in the NHS. In these times that just doesn't cut the mustard. Edited June 4, 2021 by Michael W 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 So the vaccines work for a year, and counting, they smoke the variants, most of the cases are in the age ranges who are currently taking up the vaccines, and further immunity will be gained by however many (it might not be high but its more than the zero anyone previously accounted for) 12 to 15 year olds get it...Im genuinely at a loss why they dont incentivise the vaccines by saying, if vaccine uptake remains high, then this is fucking over in weeks. Not this mewling, patronising, "we're not giving in" pish I hear on the radio, just give it straight. Every restriction gone as long as folk turn up. Thats the target, thats the only reason anyone below 40 is bothering. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 8 minutes ago, Marshmallo said: So basically Weans Parents of weans People out working People who haven't been vaccinated yet Change it to cases per 100k, basically 15-19 and 20-25 are twice the amount of 25-44, and 25x those aged 65+. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our view was always -‘we’ll take our chances’. Fortunately, all our family are similarly minded and we’ve not adhered to any of the rules other than having to wearing masks for shops. Its now becoming very wearing mentally as were both fully vaxed. What more can we do? Time for a revolution. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know trained vaccinators who are not being fully utilised. Its so obvious! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'm hoping for the travel restrictions being completely lifted at some point this year. I haven't seen my dad in person for nearly 2 years now with him living in SEA and the quarantine rules right now mean it's not a feasible trip for either of us. It's been far too long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
