If that's the headline I dread to think how long the report will be... Edited December 20, 2021 by Jacksgranda Typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heneghan is the only sensible one out of the lot. Regularly appears on JHB and GB News but tends to be ignored by the MSM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they are talking about 8pm Curfews and such like at Westminster now. Should be noted that the narrative about Sturgeon trying Greivance-monger for her own gains kind of falls apart when you realise that the advice she's getting is consistent with advice being given to Westminster who slowly are being talked around into it, and that Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and Norway at least have already sped past us into wide ranging restrictions. Despite the more positive data coming out of both South Africa and Denmark, the public health advice being given out to European governments seems to be fairly consistent in its caution. Public health is only one consideration. Sturgeon's job is to consider all advice given to her- Leitch even referred to this process on Politics Scotland yesterday. I don't think she can hide behind public health officials at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 3 hours ago, ICTChris said: The suggestion about the ICU figures and the severity discussion is that the Omicron variant replicates a lot more in the upper respitory system (nose and throat) but much less in the lower respitory system (lungs). This means it transmits a lot more due to the viral load in your nose and throat spreading to other people but it's much less likely to get into your lungs and cause severe illness and death. There were initial results from studies into Omicron that reflected this, Muge Cevnik tweeted about it a week or so ago. Maybe it's the Christmas spirit but I'm trending towards hope not cope. That's mildly reassuring seeing as my lungs are shot and I haven't had the booster yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour will vote for restrictions so he'll get them through. Whether that further enrages a significant portion of his own MPs and persuades them to start writing letters is of course a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Whatever boris and his cronies decide, I'm sure sturgeon will follow suit. That's the worrying fucking thing. Hospitality will take yet another massive blow for a start. Who the f**k will want to sit outside for pints or a meal if we go back to that again?? f**k right off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mean he’d struggle to get it through parliament necessarily, I just think he’s on such a shoogly peg with his own cabinet/MP’s as it is I doubt he’ll take a hard line on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, don't get me wrong I've seen my parents once this year and am planning to head north in the next couple of days so a lockdown is the last thing I want too. The public have obviously had enough and both government's shitty messaging and constant threat of further restrictions whilst more and more reveals of their own taking the piss doesn't help. It is a worry though as you say when people with their own agenda jump in to muddy the waters and the BBC as ever makes little effort to mention who is funding them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
