I think its time for a wee reminder on how well the vaccination is going, these are the percentages of the over 18s in areas whom have had their first jag. I know I said I wasn't going to post this anymore but just look at those vaccination percentages, look. Looks just about complete in many areas.

Can't say that any age group have been reluctant to get vaccinated. Not sure why anyone would pick on the younger people especially for being lazy. Only 9 areas left to get over the 90% line.

So 1st jags for those over 18s from ScotGov

 

 

Is that been offered or actually been jagged? Looks a bit high.

Folk wouldnt listen if they were reimposed. They have had 16 months of this and are scunnered. You only need to look on football terraces where there is very few people wearing masks or keeping apart from their mates. It's over and deep down the govts know it

Indie SAGE want all the kids vaccinated and were really going after the JVCI when one of its members said that the benefits of doing so were not proven. 

They were essentially accusing individuals of conducting a science experiment and that this was immoral. Then you had Gurdasani making an unsourced claim that 7% of kids suffer from long covid. Even the ONS' self reporting surgery put it at 0.5% having symptoms after 12 weeks. 

They are but one pressure group, but are an influential one given the amount of airtime they get on Channel 4.

Independent sage are on a different planet. 

Pagel who’s never out of the media is now calling for indoor mixing to be banned. And she’s putting herself into lockdown.

Was reading an article in the Telegraph (probably not popular on here) today about Independent Sage stating that it was organised by arch conspiracist, Carole Cadwalladr, and comprises loony left people like Susan Michie, the paid up commie.and David King the former Chief Scientist who has very left wing views. Apparently, Carole’s stated view is to cause ‘chaos’.

Now, I am not sure what to believe here. Any views?

Looking forward to the inevitable picture of her undertaking exactly one of these activities in the coming weeks and her justification of her actions in spite of this tweet.

A shame her media schedule isn't also on lockdown tbh.

However, she has at least finally admitted what Ishe would reverse the road map, which is progress. These people have a long history of carping away with no offering of how things should be done instead. I've suspected that their views are "lockdown again" and there we finally have it.

BoJo having to isolate despite previously having had Covid AND had both jags is a ludicrous piece of theatre.

We need to start moving on.

Fully agree. 

He has however set the bedroom on fire and returned with a fire extinguisher, only to find the whole house is now ablaze. An utter melt.

One could easily be mistaken to think England was a one party country.

Without descending this in the the politics forum the way in which the Tories have operated during the Pandemic and Brexit it's clear they are the only show in town in England.

You could probably make similar arguments for Labour in Wales and the SNP in Scotland although they have made unpopular and plain wrong decisions all throughout the last 18 months they don't seem to have the impunity to act illegally that the Tories are enjoying in England.

Feeling pretty nostalgic- the return of beach shaming! Tonight we’re going to party like it’s 2020 again.

 

Another one of these telephoto lens perspective shrinking scams imo.

Another drop in hospital numbers and cases below 2,000

That is a massive drop to 1735 new cases. Granted it’s a Sunday but we’re well over the worst of it.

No deaths either.

Are you saying that adults who have been infected shouldn’t get vaccinated?

I mean that's clearly not being said by anyone but it's not up for debate that any people who have had covid and aren't vaccinated be it through choice or otherwise are contributing to the immunity figures.

Taking the wide angle lens, vaccines, and being outside out of the equation, people can quite literally lie on top of each other on the beach in less that 10 hours time.

Who cares if they did it 2 days early? It will make not a bit of difference.

Anyway the next week or so will be very interesting. The "public mood" as shown by numerous online polls of Lovejoys over the last 16 months I imagine will be very different to what the real public actually do.

The appetite for normality is clearly there, and, as soon as it is allowed, the vast majority will resume it.

Going to be tremendous seeing pictures and videos of the public doing what they have apparantly been telling the government etc they don't want to do.

Worth noting that while she does come across as a bit unhinged, it's also worth taking anything the right say about her with a pinch of salt given that they've been constantly attacking her since she exposed various pieces of corruption around Brexit.

Let's hope the thread doesn't go any lower than this from yesterday. 

Given you obviously still want to discuss it, if your father was critically ill and at deaths door, and you lived overseas, would you:

a. Come straight home, which would allow you to see your father immediately (under restrictions of being in quarantine and only getting limited time with him for 10 days), or

b,. Spending those 10 days quarantine not being able to see him at all, because you are on a holiday island in the Med (and running the risk that you might still have to quarantine in the UK when you return, putting you into the situation in a) above, but 10 days later?

Given how accurate he has been up to now and the fact he had to chuck it for breaking the rules, why is Neil Ferguson still a thing?
 

He only chucked the gig at SAGE.  He’s still on NERVTAG and SPI-M so still advising the government.
