It could suggest that or it could be a consequence of the October holidays. Guess we will find out in the next couple of weeks. It will blown my mind if it increases again now that pubs and restaurants are closing earlier and not selling alcohol indoors! The only thing left to close will be those superspreading nail bars!

madwullie Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 50 minutes ago, The Moonster said: I think the fears about getting kids to wear masks are misplaced. If you explain something clearly to a kid they'll likely go along with it, the ones who throw a strop about it are just younger versions of the adults who throw a strop about it. f**k them. Half of the kids probably love running around looking like Bane too. I agree. Unless you're the kind of parent that's an anti-masker and banging on about it all the time, I don't think kids GAF. Mine are 5 and 8 and are totally fine wearing masks. I actually meant parents wearing masks in the playground for pick up when I said 80% compliance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modelling paper released last week had 6 icu cases in N and S lanarrkshire and a capacity of 40 overall for Lanarkshire. The forecast is that would spike to 60 after 2 weeks, 117 after 5 weeks. I don't think it's appreciated how just a few dozen added to that sort of critical care capacity can be such a major problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ICU capacity of 40 for a region of over 650,000 is scandalous tbh. When this is done, maybe we should be asking questions of the SG with regards to why they have spent 13 years prioritising and chucking money at things such as free bus travel for over 55s (and there was a suggestion this should be extended to include under 18s also) rather than investing in making our NHS fit for purpose. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I’ve made enquiries to some of our English based suppliers and they do not think they will be closing.IIRC you are in construction?

I'm not too bothered about free bus passes for elderly etc but that cash would hardly make a dent in our NHS, ICU beds certainly wouldn't be at the top of their list if they received another few hundred million pounds per year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
