BBC News - Gyms face legal action over rent https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52274496 "What's that? You want to cancel your lease? Well it clearly states in the contract that you have to give us 12 months notice, so tough luck." There are 35 people employed by every gym? Seems a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You agree with Sturgeon’s decision to go along with the UK Gov’s approach, but now want her to change that approach because the UK Gov approach is the wrong one, but are also criticising Neil Findlay for having the same view point as you? It’s rabid folk like you - who see grievance in every nook and cranny but can find no fault with the Scottish Government - who will prevent independence from happening, just FYI. Not everything in the world is about Scottish independence FFS. Can you only half-read what I wrote? Or are you determined to put words in my mouth? No, I don't agree with ScotGov and Leitch on this and haven't done. That said (take note of this part), I can understand their reasoning. The UK approach has been a shambles from day one - I take that as when we knew this had hit Europe. We had two months headstart and did SFA. Boris shaking hands in a hosptial with Covid patients. Is that straight enough for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 18 minutes ago, paranoid android said: A guy was just talking on BBC Radio Scotland about the situation in Sweden where there no lockdown. He said they're accepting that the virus is something that most people (80/90%) will get at some point - it's about making sure the health service can cope. Anyone else hear that? Did I hear him right? Sweden have never hidden this fact, there attitude is, we're better just getting it all out of the way in one shot rather than closing and opening country up repeatedly, hopefully their approach is proven to be correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Regarding Sweden, if they get a huge spike of cases then it’ll seem like a catastrophic policy but if their cases then subsided it would work out better in the longer run. Perhaps when this is all looked back at in a few years their approach worked better.The difficulty is what a huge spike actually means - an overwhelmed health service means people dying of starvation, dehydration, choking to death without medical help. If that happens to thousands of people, is if acceptable? I read an article rebutting the thread on Twitter by Toby Young about the balance between economic costs and deaths and it put it very wellin a scenario where hundreds of thousands of people were dying, the NHS would become overwhelmed and the average age of the people dying would likely fall, so the number of life-years lost is probably an underestimate, and possibly an enormous one if the average age of death fell as the NHS had to prioritise younger patients. And the misery involved would be appalling. It would mean people dying in their beds alone at home, some of dehydration and starvation alongside their pneumonia, with no palliative care of any kind.Maybe Sweden can find the balance by shielding and cocooning vulnerable people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
