MP_MFC Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The % stayed roughly similar which is usually a good sign, to my mind usually Mondays figures are skewed a good few % higher than normal weekday reports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Looking forward to hear the BBC Radio Scotland newsreaders say "Covid 19 cases in Scotland almost halved overnight" or some such. Absolutely certain that's the line they'll take. No question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoddyKane Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Elixir said: Basically the only difference is fully vaxxed folk can go to 'amber-list' countries. If the testing gubbins doesn't change soon then the Scottish and UK recovery in aviation, tourism and the wider economy will continue to lag behind the EU. Depends how long Tory mates think they can keep their licenses to print money, and how long diddy administrations like the Scottish Government continue to endorse it by default. The 2nd test seems pointless especially for short trips, a few people I know who travelled to Scotland already didnt even get the results for it until a few days after they were back in the EU. If they are like that whenhardly anyone is travelling what sort backlog is it going to be when more and more travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Decided to do a weekly update today. Hoping we are now approaching the peak. Weekly Cases Update: Day 25 in a row of our 4th wave of infections, case rises up 88.71% to 688.0 and infectivity from 9.9% to 12.8%. We are now 2nd place in the World only just behind Georgia @ 712.9 To be both the fastest growing infection factory in the World (Countries more than 500 cases per day) and also in 2nd top spot of actual infection rate is a pretty special performance. North Lanarkshire in particular has had an exceptional week. The South West of Scotland is now surely the cesspit the govt wanted to ensure a chance of herd immunity. Figures for Jags. 1st Vaccines 3,233 to 2,376 , 2nd vaccines 14,422 to 12,754 Total Cases Scotland 7 days 21st August to 27th August were 19,927 now 37,604 up 88.71%, Positivity was 9.9% now 13.2%.

scottsdad Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 These figures from @superbigal are just comedy. Up 165% in the wastelands of North Lanarkshire. Thank goodness we have the masks to keep these figures in check, or we'd end up like England. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.V.T. Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 That’s a wee bit better I’d sayThe fact it’s remained at 14% and the 3000+ number is from tests spread over two days is a very good sign no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Instead of calling it the peak, why not call it the climax? Makes it much more dramatic! "We're building up now. Hopefully climax by Friday." Imagine that in Jason Leitch's voice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 They should just let it rattle through school kids so the schools have immunity before winter hits. Without indulging in your conspiracies, they probably are doing that on the sly, it would take a foolhardy politician to come out publicly and say “ let the waens git it , it’s fur thur aine guid!” Especially after 18 months of deadly virus stop the spread follow the rules etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tourette Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Don’t think we’ve seen the peak yet. Probably won’t be until the end of freshers week at all the Scottish Unis? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
