It's at those moments I want out the most. nb I do have myself as a profile photo and no flags. The disappointing thing is that their opinions seem to be formed by their political allegiance rather than the other way round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Thereisalight.. said: I was quoting the figure listed on the post. I think until there can be an antibody test we’ll never know for sure what the survival rate is. I’ve spoke to quite a few people who firmly believe they’ve had it but have never been tested There are loads of these out there - attributing any flu or the like last winter to the Covid virus. This has two seriously worrying consequences - firstly, they believe they're immune and can therefore ignore precautions, and secondly, there's a load of "me too" posting going on on Social Media and the like, which simply exacerbates the first issue. Both groups are placing themselves in pole position to reinforce Darwin's theory. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I say "implementing similar measures", I of course mean letting any old number of jakeys through their doors at 6am for pints of Carling or whatever they've got on offer. Stale, rancid beer that has sat there three months. What a treat. Even worse - it will be stake, rancid Carling or Fosters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 At least early morning tv tomorrow will be a laugh with the roving reporter getting a rousing "get yer tit out for the lads" and a "Boris Johnson he's one of our own" at 7.30am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly what %age of regular pro-independence supporters on this thread do you think they make up? You're getting criticised because the little scenarios you paint bare no resemblance to reality. And it feels like you want to portray yourself as some kind of bizarre martyr for the truth amongst a sea of zealots. The first couple of times get a few eye rolls but then it's pointed out to you you're talking crap and you'll appear a few days laters saying exactly the same things. He sounds like Todd is God who disnae ken the difference between voluntarily and involuntarily. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I couldn’t think of anything worse then going to the pub at 6am for a stale carling surrounded by balding fat gammons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about working in the local A&E a few hours later and trying to stitch the cúnts back together while their mates stagger around the department trying to start a "clap for our heroes"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no such requirement in England, I can't see why this would then be recorded and, without it, how it could be enforced. Sky news reporting that all arrivals from “amber” countries have to submit contact details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 1 hour ago, dirty dingus said: The virus hasn't got a “99.8%” survival rate. Where I live the survival rate of recorded cases is sitting at abot 70%. If you take the literal figures from Glasgow it's over a 25% fatality rate. You can't take any meaningful conclusion from the confirmed cases and death ratio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: That's a quite incredible tweet from Devi Sridhar tbh. Effectively telling people that regardless of what the UK Gov say, Scottish families cannot go on holiday this summer, with the added carrot of this will ensure kids go back to school full time in August. That's fine, but A she can't personally deliver that promise and B, it's a dreadful look if the latter doesn't happen. Really not sure why I'm supposed to give a single shiny shite about the weans getting back to school full time in August. Speaking quite unashamedly for myself right now the top priorities are travel (it's suposed to be July outside FFS), a pub that won't have some shan, constant booked out capacity and football in front of crowds this autumn. There's absolutely no reason why these cannot be granted (to green category countries) in the very near future given the levels of transmission. And you can punt the weans back into schools as well so everybody wins. Edited July 3, 2020 by vikingTON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamski Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Of the 12 new cases today, 6 are in Forth Valley. Wondering if there's a local lockdown incoming there like in the eastern half of D&G. (Edited to add, from those six, five are in Falkirk - sounds like a potential cluster on the go.) Edited July 3, 2020 by Adamski 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pub near me appears to have already converted the open air NCP next door to it to its beer garden. And a number of nearby doorways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's important to not talk about a whopping 5 cases being a 'cluster' D&G was being spoken about like it was ground zero for the end of the world yet, despite sending the armada to test shedloads of people, it has 0 cases in the last 24 hours, and just 7 in the last 7 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is a cluster - but for me the reason to be optimistic is that case loads are low enough to be able to clearly identify it as such, and do contact tracing on it to isolate and stop it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't really though. They were just told not to go further than 5 miles for exercise, which seems a pretty proportionate response tbh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
