Todd_is_God Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not really sure how useful that PHS dashboard is tbh. The travellingtabby site has had all the info available for some time now, and in a more user friendly format too. I guess the "neighbourhoods" info is new, but it doesn't appear to tell you which neighbourhoods are above 55 per 100k so I don't see the usefulness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be decisive and wrong, and you can also be cautious and correct. You conveniently left cautious and wrong and decisive and correct off that list. In response to what we should do if there is a second wave, keeping things open is absolutely the correct approach. Stop pretending to everyone we are all at equal risk and that we can prevent all deaths, but at the same time allow those at most risk to take the steps to protect themselves. The SG would like you to believe that the only reason cases and deaths have declined here is because we have endured a long lockdown with a staged exit. The data from Sweden shows that the same can be achieved without such drastic measures. Edited July 29, 2020 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data from Sweden shows that the same can be achieved without such drastic measures. I am not pretending that everyone is at equal risk or that we can prevent all deaths. But we can manage the risk and reduce deaths, that’s literally what this is all about. The data from Sweden shows a higher number of cases and deaths than their neighbouring and comparable countries. I’m not sure in what possible way you can define that as a successful model to follow? Because they got to go for pints throughout? In the result of a second wave, if it’s okay with you, I’d rather go with the accumulative expertise of public health experts rather than a man on a Scottish football forum who has shown throughout this entire thread that he’s not got a clue what he’s talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Over 750 new cases and 80 odd deaths announced by WMG, what exactly is their strategy as it seems to be just drifting aimlessly. But hey Boris will have all the measures removed come November. Surely that needs a specific strategy with a target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Genuine question: what do you do for a living? If it isn’t ‘public health specialist’ have you considered a career change? Seems to be you know better than the accumulated intelligence of the Scottish Government, NHS Scotland and Public Health Scotland. It’s a shame to waste your natural flair for public health (and economic) analysis and insight on a Scottish football forum IMO. The situation we are in in Scotland is not ideal. The SG are quite clear that they wish to eliminate the disease, and are taking steps to try to attain this. The problem they have is that the purse strings to fund that strategy for an extended period are held by a government in a different country, with a very different approach. At some point that will become a problem.Vlad, given a talent for replying to a question while completely ignoring it, I'm thinking "politician" might be an appropriate occupation for our resident climate change sceptic... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey Boris will have all the measures removed come November. Surely that needs a specific strategy with a target. The English strategy appears to be based on keeping infections below 1,000 per day nationally, whilst allowing a gradual return to normal. They seem to be accepting of a residual level of cases so long as the number of people in hospital, hospital admissions and deaths are falling, which, at least for now, they are. I wouldn't put it past BJ to remove the requirement to social distance in November, and replace it with an advisory message instead to do so "where possible" Edited July 29, 2020 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
